Summer in the Sea
When I was in undergrad, I got myself a paid island vacation. I applied for the one Canadian Internship at the Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo and got it! I pestered the shit out of those poor admin people of course. I had almost become content working at my partner's parents' store all summer, even did training because I hadn't heard back, but I wasn't satisfied with this outcome. So, I called again, and again, and again, AND finally, I got the email saying I had been selected. Commence booking a flight and figuring out what food I could not live without that needed to come with me.

Career Adventures in Cambodia
On a trip to Cambodia, I met three generations of people having career adventures in Southeast Asia — 50-somethings reinventing themselves, 30-somethings re-energizing themselves and 20-somethings finding themselves. Their common attributes included embracing risk, a sense of adventure, independence, empathy, pragmatism, curiosity and cultural sensitivity. Here are some of their stories with a few of my reflections.

I'm Going Back to Cali. Top Story - July 2017.
Los Angeles, California, the city of angels, the place where dreams are made of. It's suc a cliché to say that you want to move to California but I do. The question is, what will I do once I get there? Well, I'm 19 years old so if I were indecisive, I technically have plenty of time to decide. Here's the thing, I already know what I primarily want to do in order to make a living. The problem is that there are so many things I want to do in addition to that. It really shouldn't be much of a problem seeing as there's now easy access to the internet and social media, well there shouldn't be much of a problem in theory. I like to think of myself as a modern day renaissance woman, but I have to overcome some barriers based on the current lack of resources I have.

How To Successfully Learn a New Language
Let me explain my current situation first because why would you listen to anything that I, a 20-year-old student, would say? Well, I was born in Belgium. In Belgium, we have 3 official languages. Dutch, French, and German. Next to that, about 70% of the population speaks English and another 36% speaks a 3rd, 4th, or 5th language. I personally speak Dutch (which is my mother tongue), English, French, Spanish, and I'm currently learning Korean. I can also read and understand some German and Afrikaans because those languages are quite similar to Dutch. So you could say that I'm used to hearing different languages and I'm also used to learning them.
