"Nature is a really important part of where I find my calm. Luckily, Sydney is full of beaches and parks, so I look for places like Marks Park in Tamarama. I can take my dog there and see the ocean, and it makes you feel very small and insignificant, which is perfect when you're feeling blocked or stuck."

"There’s a yoga studio called InYoga in Surry Hills. It's where I took my first yoga class, which became a big part of my life. Learning to quiet my mind helped me get quiet when I'm writing and find a different, better, relationship with writing and being creative."

"MyFlowerMan is a hole-in-the-wall cafe, but also a florist, so there are always beautiful floral arrangements. You can buy flowers by the stem. It is like a really nice ritual to go and pick a few beautiful flowers, go for a coffee and then walk down to the park."

"My favorite thing to do on a gloomy sort of rainy afternoon in Sydney is to go to a sauna. There's a place called Nimbus Co, such an aesthetically beautiful place. I like to leave my phone on flight mode outside the room, and either do meditation or listen to a podcast."
