What interesting ideas you express in your text. Now that I've had first-hand experience of memory loss, I've been concerned about the issue of neuroplasticity.
It is true what you say about making novelty a habit in the way we live our daily lives. I like your suggestion of new experiences and new ways of experimenting as a valid practice of self-care.
Besides, what a curious way of preparing coffee. I have never seen this way of filtering. From the looks of it the product is quite nice, although I guess it's not for someone like me, with so little patience.

I really like your photographs and the route you take, but above all I liked your reflections.

By the way, I loved the film you pay homage to: beautiful and a fantastic performance by Robin Williams.

Happy adventurous coffees to you!
