You know the story... life gets heavy, you yearn for a change, so you pick up your whole life, move across the world and start all over again. At least that's what we tell ourselves we'll do... but let's be real, most of us never end up actually going through with it. Well, this guy did. This week, we speak to Prashant Ashoka (@prashant.ashoka) – a Singaporean photographer and writer who built a new life in Mexico, by building a stunning house in the middle of the San Miguel desert – Casa Etérea (@casa_eterea). Prashant shares the realities of starting again, from mourning the loss of his former life, the challenges of setting new foundations, the pressure to rebuild... and the reward that comes with finding new purpose. Another big shoutout to @vans.sg for supporting this series profiling some of Singapore's most creative individuals.
