Travelling Inside Out

I continue the stories from my childhood and later as a teenager. The little stories I have very little or no photos of, but they are still vivid in my memories. I have chosen this photo because it is rather funny. Here I was: finally being 18 years old, happy with my cake and being legally able to drink a beer. But do you see the phone? Listen to the story on how I got it stolen a few months late...

Have you ever looked back at your memories, all the way to your childhood, and tried to remember the silly things you were doing? I think everyone has done that, and today I share with you some of my adventures as a kid. Because the need for risky situations started many years ago... back in the 90s. Unfortunately, especially at the beginning of the 90s, we didn't have a camera so I have very few...

You will know what I mean if you listen to the episode.  Until...

Hi guys, Today's episode is something I love talking about, it is also the question I usually start my interviews with. As the title says, comfort zone. It takes a bit of time to understand what that is for you, and because of the crisis we are going through right now, you might discover your comfort zone is not what you thought it is. A lot of us are challenged to face our own demons, being stuck...

Hey guys, Are you isolating yourself? Are you keeping a distance from others? Let me guess, you do and now you are bored. I mean I get being lazy (boy do I?) but being bored at home.. when you have access to the internet? That I won't get it. Also, I've never thought of how being an introvert will serve as a super-power. Or my depression will prove helpful. Who knew, right? So from my isolated sou...

Plus the ones I got from hitchhiking in Iceland. Feel free to...
