Finding A Home: The Misadventures Of A Tenant
I see a lot of quotes saying that never settling is the best. Well, I disagree. I’ve had enough misadventures as a tenant to know that having a safe place is essential.

This article is part of a series that tells a true story located in Edinburgh, Scotland, and in Çesky Krumlov, Czech Republic. This is the third and last part. This article is about me feeling alone and cold and about a mother and a daughter sharing a dinner with me.
After making sure she didn’t feel guilty about the “nice” guy from the airport, I tried helping with the lost luggage. I told her that we should tell the hostel staff about it to ask their advice. It was probably not the first time that happened.
It was my last day in Edinburgh and I was sitting in the dining room of my hostel, having breakfast. A really good breakfast actually. Authentic orange juice, pastries and a coffee. The hostel was a bit expensive, but it was really cool and, for once, I liked not feeling poor by staying in a very basic hostel. Anyway, I was fully satisfied with my morning. Until she arrived.
As we are starting 2023, looking back, I realize that I have spent most of 2022 looking for a job. It’s weird how much time I spent working or worrying about work. So today, I wanted to talk about work, about money and about happiness.
I’m a mix between introvert and extrovert: I need some me-time to recharge, but after a while, I feel lonely and I need to share my experiences. So I also need time socializing with other people to recharge, but after too much time with people, I once again need time alone.
I don’t remember exactly when it started. I have always been writing. Diaries, stories, songs, poems… So I guess that confiding in travel journals seemed inevitable.
As every Summer, women are expected to look perfect for the bikini season. But I think women (and men) should get a break from looking fabulous (whose idea of fabulous is this, by the way?) and should instead do their best to feel good. The temperatures are already really high, and it’s hard to not feel sweaty when you feel the need to cover yourself… Here are a few ideas to love your body!
More and more people are asking me “How do you know where to go? Where do you find inspiration?”. Honestly, I never had to really look for a destination, it feels like there are always more places I want to visit, it’s endless. However, as this question keeps popping up, I decided I would try to answer it. So, I tried to look into my process, a process I’m not even conscious of.
