One of the main reasons for going to Kenya was to be in the presence of its wildlife, to see in person the animals that, at home, I had only before seen on TV or in the Zoo. I could never imagine what it would actually be like. We started by leaving Nairobi early in…

Kenya: A Trip to Another World
Recently, an opportunity was presented to me: the chance to see the other side of the world, something I had never done before. I’ve always wanted to travel more, visit new places, try new food, enjoy new music, be in the presence of different cultures and see new sights. I’d never imagined the first opportunity…
Choosing Happiness… is Hard!
Sometimes you have those “back to reality” moments, where it just feels like the veil of happiness you’ve been putting up for months suddenly comes down and you’re able to see life for what it truly is: unstable. Choosing happiness is easy when nothing is going wrong. When it’s sunny outside, the birds are chirping,…
Don’t Let Them Tell You You’re Not Perfect
Them means a lot of different people. Not just strangers, family members, “friends”, or whomever it may be, but also the “voices” in your head.

Social Media as a Brand
Having worked for various companies and managing their social media accounts, I feel like I have a pretty good idea on how to develop a brand on social media across various platforms, how to build their identity according to what channel I’m using and who the target audience is. However, when it comes to a…
Soulmates.
Personally I’m not too sure if I believe in soulmates or not. I believe in certain people who are meant to be a part of your life, people who are here to make a difference and who you connect with instantly. I’ve met very few people throughout my life that have felt like they truly…
Stress as Motivation
Sometimes I like stressful situations because they motivate me to react quicker and think of a solution without procrastinating. Being under pressure can feel very nice sometimes as it pushes you to not only be as productive as possible, but also to find faster ways of completing whatever it is that you need to do…
