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

What would happen if one day I decided to follow my heart…. I wish I knew the answer. Maybe I should find out.
