I get the creepy thought that I need to upgrade my camera a few times a week. Then, I see one of my fellow creative making a masterpiece on an iPhone.. #filmmaker #camera #videography
After 4 years of travelling, it's time for me to settle down a little bit.
Permanently? Probably not. My soul is way too adventurous for that.
But at least for a bit.
During those 4 years, I've learned some filmmaking and photography skills that I've used mostly for my own benefit. Now, it is time for me to give back.
Since September, I have been back in my home town and I built a business to help other entrepreneurs reach and help their customers through visuals.
As you can guess, it comes with great days and days when I would toss my camera in the trash.
So I've decided to create content around my daily struggles. mostly for me. to have something to look back to and remember those days, but also for anybody out there going through similar days.
If it's you, It's okay. Don't forget to enjoy those days. After all, just remember that you currently collecting good stories for yourself in a few years.

I just give a few basic and cliché examples here, but even if I consider myself a minimalist, I still catch myself sometimes with a desire of owning things that I don't truly need. In all honesty, those make me feel better at the time of buying them. That said, I am a strong believer in having a deeper reflection about the deep reasons that pushed me to buy that thing. sometimes, just taking the time and criticizing my decision puts a light on what I really feel inside and it gives me clarity on the things I need to put in place to fix that deeper discomfort that I host inside of me.
Do I actually know now what I wanna do with my life now? yes and no, but maybe in the end constantly asking yourself this question is actually what the game of life is.

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapiki-maungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitnatahu holds the world record for being the longest place name on the entire planet, at the length of 85 characters. try to say it without mistakes. it is actually so much harder than I was thinking...
I live with a huge FOMO inside of me. It happens pretty often to me that I am scared to choose the wrong path. Or just scared to be missing out on life.
Worst, letting it go without making the most out of it. Because of that, I have to catch myself and remind myself that a fulfilling life is lived every day by focusing on the good happening around us. In the end, you only miss out on a day if you don't take the time to appreciate it.
So far in my 20s; I've started university, dropped out of university, travel the world (well my 20 years old self would consider this the world), planted 800 000 trees, summited a 6000m peak, became a yoga teacher, slept on a volcano and probably changed plant a half a million time.
All those adventures thought me a lot, but the more I think about it, it is all stuff I already knew. I just needed to experience it to believe in it.
Once a gave a class of poetry to a group of 10 years old in a summer camp. That's what is left of it......... #poetryisnotdead #summercampfun ##learningthroughplay #flatrock #skippingrocks
Here is what I mean: Making plans and putting yourself in a position prompt to success is great. The hard truth is... That is the easy part and the less productive one. Plans without actions are a camouflaged waste of time. Just a fancy way to procrastinate. Sometimes, most of the time actually.. when you want to achieve, reach, try or do something new there is going to be a moment of discomfort and the only way to get rid of it will be to take action to make that new thing, not new anymore, but it takes courage. Don't worry I get it. trust me. #courageovercomfort #comfortzone #HardTruth #procrastination
The truth needed to be said.. when I chose to live on the road. I also had to accept that it meant not owning anything that doesn't fit in a backpack. The more wanted stuff the more I had to get rid of my clothes to make room. By now I am getting to the limit. I got out 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts. This is still not too bad, but I need to move again soon.. that might lean the bag again a bit more. #beachvacation #MinimalistLifestyle #notmany #backpackinglife ##niceweather
I don't think I can walk on a rocks beach without skipping a few rocks. That said, I hate the part when you have to find them.. wish they could appear in your pocket. I might be too much of a kid to enjoy the whole process yet. #flatrock #beachvibesonly #boingboing #chupchup
Rocks rhyme with trucks. One time, I gave a poetry class to a group a 10 years olds. That is what is left of it. #poesie #skippingrocks #rockbeach #beachbreak #poemoftheday
10 other things I can buy with 10 trees :
- 1 litre of gas (sad reacts only..)
- One Avocado
- A cheap toothbrush
- A lemonade
- 8 Momo's if I'm in India
- A Gatorade, but only at the grocery store
- a travel souvenir
- A haircut in some countries. That said, you never know about those ones..
- One ice cream
- What else?
I've got some questions lately about the flags you've seen me put on the trees in those videos. Unfortunately, yes they are little pieces of plastic and I put them all through the land.. they really help to see where I've been and respect the spacing between trees. because as you can imagine, once the trees are planted, they kinda blend in the nature and it is really hard to see. For now, it is still the best solution that we have, but I heard of different techniques used around the world that could change that.
