It’s 6:57 pm. It’s pitch black. A distant star pinpricks through the black canvas in front of me. I can only hear the waves kissing the shoreline. The ever-present soundtrack to our stay at Wachakyta in Tayrona National Park. Why am I telling you this? Because...

Fuck. The first word out my mouth every morning Monday to Friday. I’d say to myself: Should life really make me feel like this? I’m living in London, got a decent job, good boss, good colleagues, good friends. I should be fucking grateful for all of this. What’s wrong...
