My Heart Wanders

Last summer in Amsterdam I was sitting outside sipping beers on a perfect summer day with Pia Jane Bijkerk and new friends after a long day at the Urban Arts Festival. Pia mentioned the latest project she was working on, My Heart Wanders. Then it seemed like still a dream, so I can hardly believe it has all come together already. With the sub-headline "a celebration of taking risks, letting go and making a home wherever you are" this book is by far her most personal project yet – after Paris Made by Hand and Amsterdam Made by Hand. The topic of this book struck a chord with me as a foreigner in a foreign land myself, and trying to find my way. Pia, a native Australian left Sydney for Paris, followed by adventures on a houseboat in Amsterdam. Only now, just in time for the release of her new book has she returned to Sydney as her home again. I definitely feel my heart is starting to wander, and plan on using this beautiful book to help guide my way. While only folks down-under are lucky enough to pick up a copy now, the worldwide release date is set for June (or pre-order here). Stay tuned to Pia's beautiful blog for all the latest events and sneak peeks inside, and view the book on her website for the best look!

{Where would it take you?}

Don't miss Pia on BOARDING PASS (I love her soundscapes as well!).
