Globe Drifting
I grew up in England where I studied French and Chinese; my father is Bulgarian, my mother is German Jewish and I am caught somewhere in between. With my Jewish nose, Bulgarian skin and English accent, I at once belong to British, East German, Bulgarian, Jewish, French and Chinese cultures and yet to none of them at all; shifting between cultural identities, I am drifting across the globe in the hope of stumbling upon enlightenment- or at very least, a nice fat piece of double chocolate cake. The world is my oyster, my oyster through a lens…
Have an idle gander through my blog on global issues, cinema, cycling, travel, photography, fashion and the dolly mixture that is life.
I also love this song.
‘Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.’– Mark Twain

Hello, your blog is amazing and so full of energy!
You have an interesting site. May I say it is an eye-opening site in that it requires us see others in a whole new light. Thank you for following my blog.
What a fantastic site you have here. I like the multicultural connections running through your life. I highly recommend you take a look at an amazing space called Holistic Wayfarer. Diana, it’s creator, has put together one of the best global interviews on race and culture I’ve ever read.
Love Bastille!

Hi Rachel, thanks for following my blog! It looks really interesting and I definately will be exploring the thoughts of a fellow drifter (I have a song with that title!) …it seems we both have a love for Berlin. I’ve been there a few times, hanging out mainly in Freidrichshain. It’s been too long and I need to go back. Anyway, long may you drift…:)
