I'm laying in a lovely bed in an Air Bnb with a Ikea-decor somewhere just outside Cologne, Germany. Travel life is well underway and I'm right in the routine already. This morning we woke up at my girlfriend's (and travel companion) grandparents house which is in a town south of Brussels. After the first run... Continue Reading →
July was a funny month to decide to be "offline" (I'm currently three weeks into a social media detox which includes Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter). The reason being because this month my girlfriend and me are travelling Europe. For the next 3 or so weeks we are darting around the continent, hitting up countries... Continue Reading →
For whatever reason, today I wrote a full page in my journal about what my ideal "job" would look like. I am by no means unhappy in my current job, however I do often think about the fact that life ends and we get one chance to do whatever we want to do and that... Continue Reading →

Life is a funny old rollercoaster isn't it. It goes up and down, round and round, upside down and zig zag across. It goes in such a way that as I wrote that last sentence I thought, "what on earth is going on?!". The conundrum that most of us face with life is that at... Continue Reading →
I'm one week in and I'm feeling strong. As almost anything worthwhile goes, the longer to do it for the easier it becomes and I already feel that this social media challenge is past its most difficult stage. I honestly feel no inclination whatsoever toward going on any social media, even YouTube! My head feels... Continue Reading →
Today's post is dedicated to the feeling of excitement. Probably my favourite emotion; the apprehension before a situation that you have high expectations for.
