I’m back! Ready to roll. YASSS. My cup has been refilled after a hiking, hammocks, and jungle vacation in …. Costa Rica. 4 weeks of nature, nature, nature (and 1 sloth). I needed some adventure in my life – Latin America Edition!!!! The planets aligned and both me and my boyfriend found ourselves with some […]
We all feel boxed-in sometimes, defined by labels set by others, gridlocked by limits we set on ourselves. Arrested in development by our own inability to accept that we are a glorious mess of walking contradictions, Let’s explore the power that these boxes and labels have over us and how to set ourselves free. Over […]
As I’m reading a cute little romantic fiction situated in Nice (France), I can’t help but think about when I was there a few years back – April of 2015. In this blog series, called #FridayFlashback, every last Friday of the month I travel back in time to one of the adventures that have shaped me […]
A few years ago, I had an awesome adventure. For my research on Ecotourism in the Amazon, I got to spend 4 months on the beautiful Brazilian Amazon Atlantic Coast in the municipality of Curuçá (Pará State). I would like to share my experiences whilst there. Here is my first #AmazonStory on Poverty and Cultural […]

I’m not into well thought-out blog posts. I usually hop into my feelings and ride that train. For me, that’s when my best stuff comes out. Plus, a glass of dry white, usually helps. I am just ME. Consistency and being on brand aren’t really my THANG, right now. I get all stressed out when […]
Recently, I was asked to speak at a career seminar for Latin American Studies. I felt honoured to be asked but at the same time a little scared and unsure. What to tell these soon-to-be graduates about life after graduation. I really don’t feel like I got where I wanted to be yet. In the […]
Just a quick brain wave before you start reading: Why is it that if I put ‘free writing’ on top of the page I suddenly feel freer to write? Like I finally have permission to write whatever I like. Hmmm. Don’t know. *Bamm* Writer’s block lifted. Tadaaaa. But it works though. Anyway. I didn’t know […]
Ecotourism in the city? I used to think it wasn’t possible. Urban areas don’t usually come to mind when you think of the lush, green, protected areas that you normally associate with ecotourism. But recently I was pleasantly surprised by the possibilities of city ecotourism when I went on a hiking exploration of Rotterdam. Hiking […]
Right now I have so many options on my journey to Unf*ckwithable, Sustainable World Domination. I have so many questions. There is so much to do that I sometimes feel whelmed – not overwhelmed because that would mean I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Just whelmed by: all the possibilities. my doubts and fears. […]
