The Thing About Regrets

Stream - Jasper, AB, Canada

I once heard someone say: Don't have any regrets. At the time, every decision you made was yours, it was made by choice and you decided on what was best for you back then.

It was probably not those exact words that I heard, but I remember the meaning, the message.

I thought it was such a nice, and true, thing to say...

But then I realised: What about the decisions we were so unsure about? What about the times we acted on something, already wondering if we'd regret it?

First Impressions

What is it that makes us love (or hate) a city, a town...?

Harvard - Boston, MA, USA


Waterside - Boston, MA, USA




The first impression usually comes from the people, the weather and the architecture. Smiling people make you wanna smile back, sunny weather makes you want to go explore and the architecture sometimes even makes you want to live there! 

I arrived in Boston on a sunny late afternoon. The air felt warmer than back home, the sun was more than welcoming. I found a city full of happy, lively people. It made me want to  get some trainers and go running along with Harvard students, by the waterside, where rowers smoothly conquered the river. As for architecture, I must have fallen in love with a dozen different appartments and houses within the first few minutes...

Go explore!

"I hope this old train breaks down" - Jack Johnson

Pebble Beach - Nice, France

In search for the unexpected.
Sometimes, the best things in life are unplanned. 
Often, they're the uncalled adventure.
It's about turning something that seems negative into a surprisingly positive experience.
