Shopping at Indie Sunday Markets
The term slow travel has been very popular among the indie community of late. Well, I just got back from a 2 weeks vacation and it felt slow travel for me this trip. I stayed with the locals and did things that locals do – slow and easy. As much as I want it to be part of an indie lifestyle, I couldn’t do that due to contraints.
It was however tiring to be traveling with a young child who was constantly demanding for attention. Infact, it was natural fat burner for me, keeping him busy and occupying him with activities. I managed to steal some time to the Sunday markets at Broadbeach on the last day in Gold Coast. It was a small Sunday market with some very local stuff. I bought a beaded necklace from an indie designer (emubeads.com) and totally love it. I only shop for local and indie stuff when I am in markets like that. Many of them make their own foodstuff including macadamia nuts and honey. It was nice strolling along the stores, if only I had more time!
Well, now that I’m back, I find myself missing the indie stores at the markets. I should have bought a few more beaded necklace from Emubeads… she was indeed a talented indie artist. I can’t wait to be back at the Gold Coast again… particularly broadbeach.
