Embracing the Slow Life in Busy Tirana

My slow it down rest week has already come to an end and it's time to stop being a lazy teenager and rebuild my healthy habits. If you missed last week's newsletter, I treated myself to an apartment for solo space in the city of Tirana, Albania. The goal was to recharge my social battery, reflect on my first pop-up coliving (listen to the recap episode on the podcast)and honestly just be a bit of a lazy teenager with some “normal” downtime, which for me looks like an extra dose of reality TV...

Hello from The Netherlands! I’m buzzed to be back here 😁. I know I said Canadian summers are beautiful but the architecture of Europe just doesn’t compare. It has culture, atmosphere, mood, tradition and feels like I’m in a movie scene near Amsterdam (maybe because I kind of am). Wait Reader, quick rewind to last week prepping for my 24 hour travel day. Before I arrived in The Netherlands, of course I packed and well... packed too much 😅. I struggled to know what to part ways from. To...
