New nomads
I’m an expat. Moving around, feeling free AND comfortable is what i crave for. I remember being 8 years old, sitting in our little suburb bungalow, watching television (way too much of it, due to accute boredom) and thinking — “there must be a way to see the world, outside this TV screen!“. This must… Continue reading New nomads

Dealing with ideas
Overwhelmed with ideas, me and chris often struggle with this topic. So much could be done, only, we are only 2 heads, and 4 hands. Which idea is good to keep, which ones are not?
