Good news from around the globe
I have been working on some changes in my life lately. Little things here and there in the hopes to make my life a bit better. Don’t get me wrong. I love my life and I know how lucky and privileged I am. But existing in this world has become gradually harder. Social media is,…

My cozy work space
Several years ago, I was living in Toronto in a cozy one-bedroom apartment and commuting to work every day. By then I had a regular computer desk, I don’t even remember where I got it from, and an Ikea chair. It was all good. I was working at the office most of the day and…

On my way home
I’ve been away from home for almost 4 months straight (with a small stop in Canada to repack for a couple of days in July). I left Noway yesterday (and a piece of my heart stayed behind like every time) and I’m now in Basel, Switzerland, for today. There’s a thunderstorm forming here, so I…

Colmar
One of the best things about Europe is how close everything is. I feel like in Canada, I could drive for 3 days before getting to the next city. Here, everything is close. So, after our meetup in Strasbourg, I had a few days to travel around before I headed to Norway because my sister…
