When I was 25, I embarked on a 6 month backpacking trip that seriously changed my life. It was the catalyst that gave me the guts to start CMD.

There are also things that are infinite and never go away – and Love and Light are the first two concepts that come to mind when I think of Infinity and its perfectly beautiful associated symbol [...]
Miglia and I are sort of attached at the hip. Nine out of ten times you see me walking down the street, Miglia will be with me. I bring her everywhere – she comes with me to work, she runs errands with me, we eat our meals together, she goes to the beach with me…she’s with me all the [...]
