A delightful delight
I keep on writing about delights, but what exactly is it and why do I find it so important? Let us start with talking about attention : it is the most important resource in our life. We live through what we pay attention to, we chose what we pay attention to, and that affects how…

A different creature
When I go to Argentina mid March, I expect nice, decent temperatures. Maybe a 30C at first, but in the second half or the month they are supposed to dive below the 30ies. That is what I had in my head when booking this trip. Not too late because we are tired of the darkness…

Je ne sais quoi!
Let us get back to last November, spring. I was walking on the beach in Cariló with my friend Carla. Strolling alongside the ocean, trying not to get our feet wet, while chatting away. We have a peculiar history together, Carla and I. Our friendship started with a kind of ‘blind date’, after my son…

“The things you can see only when you slow down“, is a book by Haemin Sunim, ideal to put on your bedside table and read a bit every night before you go off to sleep (highly recommended!). But this post isn’t about that book. It’s actually about the things you can see only when you…

Stress Tornado
Does this word speak to you ? It certainly does to me! In Flemish we say ‘stresskieken‘ (literally stress chicken), someone who stresses easily. It is a strange thing.

Time is on our side
But is it, really? It is said that time is the only thing in our lives that, once it has passed, we can never get back. And it does pass, minute by minute, second by second. Tik Tok Tik Tok The busier we are, the faster it goes, and age puts it in yet another…

Where to start?
Ok, this is the hard part. Where should I start? Let us do this : Why chose this particular blog? Blame it on Jay Shetty. OK, I am a Jay Shetty Fan. He has inspired me so much that he changed my life. He is a former monk (what the heck?), but if you think…

The Feel Good Way!
If one hasn’t written one blog post in about 2 years, you just know it is time to come up with something new. Over the years my ‘Why on earth did I move to Argentina‘ (that title says it all) evolved to ‘Global Citizen‘ (a blog for tourists, expats and locals), but now I have…

What’s another Year
Who remembers me being a Pariah in Argentina? Who remembers that? It is a year ago. One year. One year ago we were stuck in Argentina, one year ago our flight was canceled 9 times, and one year ago we were repatriated through an Air France flight, long after the airport of EZE was closed.…
