New Orleans, USA - “...New Orleans is a city bursting at the seams with music. From the moment I set foot on the streets, music seemed to emerge from the walls like the old muse. In fact, that’s how I would describe the city, the muse given form and flavour. I could not help but be swept up in it, and three days later when I emerged, I felt freshly scrubbed with a new eye for the world.

Rikugien Gardens - Tokyo, Japan - “...While traveling in Japan I met a lady selling fabrics in a market.

Japan has a peaceful effect on me that I have never been able to replicate…” - The Memoirs of Miss Lou pg. 63

Mardi Gras - Sydney, Australia - “...Oxford street in Australia’s Sydney is a vibrant place at the dullest of times. The night before Mardi Gras, I could feel the acceptance and bubbling excitement. The parade itself was something to behold. With the backdrop of beautiful Sydney, the colour, excitement, happiness and freedom. It was truly a celebration I was lucky to be a part of…” - The Memoirs of Miss Lou pg. 82
