Real Talk: The Eight Important Lessons I Have Learnt In The Last Year

- one -

Remember that life is short and if you want to do something (anything!), you have to simply just do it! Do not let money or time get in the way. Work towards your goal and do it.

- two -

Planning is everything! Planning not only makes your life more organised, but it also prevents stressful situations, agreements with your partner and SAVES YOU MONEY!

- three -

Value your true friends! Distance and time has shown me who my true friends are and while this experience was painful (seeing who doesn't care enough), it is also a great thing to see who are the people who deserve your time.

- four -

Your partner is your home. When moving to a brand new place and not knowing anyone, it can be difficult and unknown. For me, my husband is my home, no matter where we travel or where we are, as long as he is with me I am content and feel at home. Surround your self with others - someone or maybe something - that makes you feel this way.

- five -

Things are just things! Moving from a three story townhouse in Canada into a studio apartment in Berlin (with two suitcases each!) really made me realise that things are only things.

- six -

Travel far and more! This is something I may have been judged for in the last few months; we really travelled somewhere new every few weeks! In Europe the opportunities are endless and inexpensive. Travelling to countries like Bulgaria or Portugal has truly given me a better understanding of peoples' lives, backgrounds and actions. I am proud of that and really try to get to know the locals as much as possible.

- seven -

Document it! I am so happy that taking pictures and video is so easy now. Travelling so much also made me want to start my YouTube Channel because I felt like these experiences need to be shared with more people. And the response I have gotten so far has been incredible. If you haven't subscribed, have a look, I promise you will not be disappointed.

- eight -

Establish the things that make you truly happy! When we first arrived in Berlin, I had some time to think about the things that actually make me happy. Yoga, travelling, fashion and of course blogging! I incorporate them into my life as much as possible.

These are only a handful of the lessons that that I have learnt and experienced in the past year and a YouTube video will follow where I will go into more detail. A new chapter is ahead of me and @endoxist, and will be revealed soon!
