All or nothing. I was sitting in a tram listening to Brene Brown’s “The Power of Vulnerability” workshop on Audible (brilliant, by the way, I could recommend it in a heart beat!),  when I had a bit of an epiphany about a trap in thinking that I’ve totally fallen into, and that you might’ve fallen […]

I’ve moved. (Yet again!) But don’t worry, you don’t have to move too if you want to feel better. After years of being abroad I came back to my home country for a while. And this change in circumstances brought a sudden realisation. While travelling across Europe: wherever I went, I longed for having a […]

I had this theory when I was 15 that there are 3 main pillars to creating happiness in life. And, looking back, I think it’s been true for me all this time. You might know this about me already, but in the past 6 years I lived in 6 countries. It was for different periods […]

Are you ever stuck for inspiration and don’t know how to get started with a project? Be it home improvement or something completely different? To this problem I say… take a trip! And before you start thinking that you don’t have time or money for going on holiday right now, let me stop you and […]
