I did quite a bit of traveling last summer. You may have missed it. I’m terrible at documenting my travels.

One evening in July those travels took me to Amsterdam with Lidewij, Sanne, and James*. Most of this trip was a blur, so I am grateful Sanne captured some footage to bring me back to this moment. I do remember being very excited by this big gathering of people dancing in the street. I think there was a dancing dog at the centre of it? We stopped and watched for a while, but something about being around Lidewij just makes you want to drop everything and dance**. So we did.

There is nothing quite like just letting go and dancing on the street in a foreign city with friends you only get to hug once a year.

One of the first things I do when visiting someplace new is wander until I get lost. I love getting lost.

“Fairy Doors and Wanderlust”

I’m slowly learning to love Edmonton. What secrets does this city hold for me to discover?

This happened to me as I was leaving on a trip to Europe for 6 weeks. My plan was to buy a final iced cap just before my flight left. I passed a Tim Hortons on my way to the gate, but when I tried to go back, a security guard stopped me and refused to let me by. It was terribly upsetting.
The moral? Never, never, ever pass up an opportunity to stop at Tim’s.

I’ve spent far too many hours looking at moleskine art. I wish I had the talent to record my world like this.
I need to start using my moleskine more.
