About

I want to live a big life and have a suspicious amount of fun while doing it. So, I’m trying to master the art of silly goose maxxing: being wildly ambitious, relentlessly curious and a little ridiculous along the way.

My tail can’t stop wagging when I’m learning something new, meeting someone interesting, or finding myself somewhere I’ve never been before. I have an embarrassing number of things I want to try, places I want to see, skills I want to learn and stories I want to collect.

A few of those things have already made their way from “I should try that someday” to “welp, I’m doing it.”

The list currently includes salsa, swimming, badminton, drawing, karate, skating, singing, baking, origami, cooking, dancing and photography (although, to be very precise, this list is not an indication of my proficiency in any of them ;))

One of my high school teachers once introduced us to the idea of imaginary friends: people who could have lived decades before us, be on the other side of the world, or be people we’ll never meet.

I remember thinking, how could you feel close to someone you’ve never met?

Years later, I realized I have quite a few. People I absolutely LOVE, whose books, interviews or art I keep returning to.

And here are a few my favourites :)

Anthony Bourdain

“Travel is not reward for working, it’s education for living.”

— Anthony Bourdain

Elizabeth Gilbert

“Do you have the courage to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”

— Elizabeth Gilbert

Sylvia Plath

“I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life.”

— Sylvia Plath

Albus Dumbledore

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.”

— Albus Dumbledore

Ben Whittaker

“You’re never wrong to do the right thing.”

— Ben Whittaker

I don’t know what my life will look like a year from now, let alone ten. And for once, I don’t think I need to know.

I want to keep following curiosity, saying yes to the unexpected, meeting people who expand my world and collecting stories along the way.

I want to look back one day and think, well, that was one hell of a life <3
