After kicking off my Sabbatical in Esalen, I then flew down – via Los Angeles – to Oaxaca, Mexico. It would be the start of the Mexican leg of my Sabbatical, and one which – at the outset – I was the least looking forward to.

What happens when you take 3 gay men, 2 princesses, and a very open-minded guy, out to the bush for the weekend? Well, surprisingly, lots of very sedate fun! Damien, Sean, Broc, Richard, Sunita and me, went this past weekend to Leura in the Blue Mountains. Here in Australia, because we don’t have our Christmas during […]
