regrets

I hate the feeling of regret, I try and live my life with as little regret as possible. I like to believe that the decisions I have made throughout my life have been the right ones. I mean... they have brought me to the place I am now.. so clearly I'm doing something right.   But … Continue reading regrets

live in the moment

One of the best pieces of advice I've ever received was "LIVE IN THE MOMENT" It is something that I think is very difficult to accomplish in today's society.

And thinking about doing a third.... … Continue reading A Year and a Half of Living Abroad

Late night thoughts
