Your Mind, Your Body, and Your Baltimore Lifestyle
Living in Baltimore is great. It’s wonderful to work in a tough and competitive city and feels right to support your town's sports teams, even if you're not always rewarded for your loyalty. Walking around Baltimore's scenic areas, visiting the Aquarium, and raising your kids in a place like this is typically what most people want, but Baltimore isn't always as great as it might seem. Like any other city, it has stresses and unhealthy temptations. It demands a lot of you, and sometimes your physical and mental health are short-changed. That's why it’s important to be mindful of the Baltimore lifestyle, the ways in which it might be unhealthy, and how you can go about building a better life in Charm City.

Raw Journal Entries of an Everyday Traveller - 003 & 004
5/12/2016 Kelowna 11:34 PM -2° "Well an entry didn't happen yesterday as I was up on Big White enjoying time with the gang. We went to the pub, drank too much and enjoyed ourselves. Mae cooked an amazing dinner also that Ben didn't join us for. He's still apparently effected by the breakup and can't be around me long enough without feeling awkward. I don't know what his go is, but I'm not buying into the act. He's only sad now because he can tell I'm happy and moved on. It's exactly what happened the last time we broke up. I was a mess because he seemed so happy and I hated that, this time it's the opposite and it isn't my issue anymore. I tried way too hard for that guy!

Raw Journal Entries from an Everyday Traveller - 002
2/12/2016 Big White 10:02 AM -7° "Yesterday I came up to Biggie to spend some time with friends and to get away from the hostel. A great idea that riddled me with anxiety. I was so anxious about how my friends would treat me after Ben and my break up, but it seemingly was all for nothing and I had no reason to worry. I was drinking with the girls from the hostel and just finished telling them about the break up and filling them in about me and Brodie when Ben came into the pub. It was good to see him, barely awkward at all, surprisingly. After he left, the girls all congratulated me on my handling of the situation, and most said they couldn't do what I was doing—to make situations funnier. Brodie and his best friend Dan and others from the hostel, Harry and Tammy, returned from boarding and we all ended up drinking together. After which Brodie and Dan were leaving to continue their road trip. I really hope to see Dan again in Australia one day, and there's talk that Brodie might return back Kelowna way in a month or so. I really wish I had the chance to give/receive one last kiss from him.

Monaco: All the Money in the World
Even the toilet has a beautiful view. The window is open, and the smell of the bright sea drifts in to mingle with the faint tang of ancient piss. Down below, the Rock, the old citadel of the Grimaldi family, juts out into the Mediterranean. Red roofs glow above the white walls. The sun shines on the sheer cliff face on which the old city of Monaco sits, turning the bare rock a blinding white. I finish and zip up and step out with dripping hands, back into the sun.
