Existential post numero uno
First off I want to thank everyone for their kind words of support and healing since my story update Monday. I felt the love, and it was beautiful to read where it came from. Some old and dear friends as well as some new characters bringing fresh perspective into my…
Why I love Ubud, Bali
Today I arrived back home. Not home as in where I grew up, or where I lived when I was at Uni. In fact not any other home I’ve experienced as the human named Russ Benning. This home is different. It’s not a memory as much as a feeling. I…
After the first fortnight
Bali is quite the place… I came here with the intention to find my intention. Find new, or reinvigorate existing, passions. Step up my business life. Do some healing and practice more self-love/acceptance. Maybe even find #love. I’m more than a bit excited to say that after just a touch…

How to get lost but not lose yourself
It’s 1pm in little fairytale-esque Bled, Slovenia. The gentle summer rain enhancing the already magnificent greens of the landscape. Today is the first day I haven’t seen direct sunlight to cast distractingly beautiful vistas of medieval castles and churches around the lush microenvironment, and I couldn’t be happier. The town itself and…
In the beginning. Initial thoughts, equipment and travel tips
I’ll start off first of all by saying that I’m not an expert traveller by any means. In fact, you may have tips for me and I’d love to hear them in the comments below. I feel fortunate to have had many opportunities to travel in the past.…
Bali on an iPhone
As my European Adventure looms ever so near, I can’t help but think back to my last trips with great fondness and dig out a few goldy oldies 🙂 For something different I decided to share some highlights of my Bali trip back in 2014 that I shot on my trusty…
