I also didn’t think that I’d get my first ever feature in a big travel magazine, and yet that happened too. All in all, it was pretty sick; but now I’m left with no more words, just pictures.

(To read my first ever big travel feature, check out my piece in Hidden Europe!)

Before I left the farm, I got a ride from Juan, the owner, to the nearest town. We drove in silence pretty much the entire way.

‘What’s next?’ Juan asked, surprising me. He held out a hand for me to shake, and years of hard farm work were evident in the thick, tough skin.

It was one helluva question, and one which I didn’t have the answer to. Because at the end of the day, what could you possibly say to the man that has everything?

 

*And I did all of this whilst wearing my beautiful Magnesite stone bracelet from Molavaco.
