Yassine Nouah — an accountant by trade — drove all the way to the Arctic Ocean from Vancouver...but that was just the start.
Yassine ditched the cubicle and number crunching and is spending the next few months travelling from the Arctic to Antarctic — and his parents don’t even know about it. He has aspirations to reinvent himself and morph from Yassine the accountant into who he really is.

I’m stuck.
Not figuratively…in life. But actually physically stuck in a corn maze, trying to find the exit.
While in here, I’ve been asking people the worst places they’ve been stuck….so far we’ve got…
- on a waterslide
- the top of a Ferris wheel
- in a hotel during peak covid
- in an elevator
- in a snow bank
- in the woods
I also got stuck at the border once because my brother decided to go full punk and wear a purple Mohawk pushed forward in front of his face, a dog collar necklace and a fork and knife wrapped around his wrists like bracelets, as we tried to drive across.
They put our car on a hoist. That’s how that went.
So now it’s your turn …where is a place you’ve been stuck?

An Ode to People That Won't Leave the Party
I wrote a poem! (cause I spend my time wisely)
It's for the person at the party that just won't leave. The one that lingers way too long and stays wayyy past when they should. I used to be that person and now they fill me with a fiery rage.
So this is my poem to them. I called it, "Get Out"
(feel free to share with someone in your life that needs the subtle hint)
