REACHING NEW HEIGHTS

Shootin' the breeze!

Chai stop boss chillin' on the mountain tops with Karolina, Eyal and Oren

After a 3 hour uphill horseback meander we arrive at Trion, gateway to the snow peaks of the Himalayas. A playground of nomads, wallahs, mountain men and horses. If you stretch far enough you can almost touch the snow lined mountaintops!


 
Meditation. contemplation. levitation.

MOUNTAIN SALUTATIONS

Chai kisses blown from mountain air to Norwegian beauty Karolina and bhā'ī Yosi, I heart you guys! x

There's magic to be made in the Mountains where waterfalls flow freely, eagles soar wild, the air blows light and crisp breezing off the foothills of the Himalayas. A perfect setting to channel your inner yogi. 
Saluting the sun and stretching over waterfalls has never felt so fresh!

A little spot between McLoud Gange and Bagsu will find you the most adorable puppies. Bubbas by default they make home with local street folk. 
Bringing them fresh milk and cuddles will get you loads of licks and hours of cooing!


Pois Perfect.


Never leave home without one.

MounTANtastic !!


 Floating, frolicking, green fields, mountain trekking, waterfall wishing, chai shops, pois stops, overlooking magestic mountains and foothills...

The Gift of Gabbita


Designer and creator Juliana Rojas grew up in Colombia observing her two grandmothers use their artistic talent to create beautiful garments made of the finest materials Colombia has to offer. 
This later materialized into GABBITA (named after her daughter) the living dream of Juliana Rojas. 
She is able to share her creativity as a designer turning her artistic thoughts into wearable art. Juliana’s designs are produced by women from her native Colombia, whose skills similar to her Grandmothers have been passed down from generation to generation. 
A total inspiration for women, proving that dreams are possible from the most humble beginnings.

The artisans at GABBITA, are skilled with masterful knitting and crochet 
techniques passed down through generations giving each piece an identity all its own. Finished with stitch and appliqué becoming nothing less than an intricate work of wearable art!

In 2010, Gabbita was delighted to play a part in giving back to the community by partnering up with the Michael Bolton Charities Foundation, which supports woman and children who are victims of domestic violence and abandonment. 


GABBITA is an elegant luxury fashion atelier offering Noche, Gabbita Swim, and Gabbita Little Girls from Colombia, South America.

FLAGS FLY FROM LITTLE TIBET TO TEL AVIV

InfiniteLove to my Navajo Princess Reches! This beautiful bohemian braved completion of her already stunning tattoo on her final night in Dharamsala before making the pilgrimage south.
Four hours of needling, dosed up on codeine, blasted by trance AND being stood up by her ride, this ladylove is a true warrior!
Kudos, Love and Shanti to you Princess. xx

Field of Dreams.


BIGLOVE to the crew aka Reches, Danielle, Dror, Shtoobi, Maimon and Netta. 
Earthy Gods and Goddesses with sunkissed desert tans, smouldering smiles and radiant energy from the mediterranean sea to the mountaintops.
Sababa darlings!
I heart my Isreali family
xx


Happy dance.

Mountain top Chai stop.

Home to snuggle pie puppies. So cute it's silly. 


Signage that says it all. Accha = Best!


Another candid bubba moment in Incredible India

Not biased, not joking, but we make THE best bonnaffe pie in Dharamsala.
A seductive layering of biscuit, condensed milk, crushed nuts, coconut shavings and OTT chocolate sauce.
To be consumed overlooking mountains while listening to live Spanish guitar.
Everyone wants a piece of our pie.


Mid-forest munchies


Tibetan flags flying, prayer wheels spinning, eagles soaring, snow capped mountains, Royal Enfields roaring, dusky roads, singing bowls, coconut papaya lassies, momos, rooftop yoga, meditation.. 
 Himachil Pradesh. The Himalayas. Where eagles soar. 
Free Tibet. 
Om Shanti Om
