Looking back at the first half of 2024 📸
I started summarising my year with one photo each month, but I found too many favourites! 😂
I slowed down to 217 performances this year due to an injury, so I'm very grateful to have been all over the world, from the Japan Tour ‘24 🇯🇵, to Athens 🇬🇷, Australia 🇦🇺, Papa New Guinea 🇰🇪 and The Netherlands 🇳🇱 where I made lots of connections with fantastic people.
