This past week has definitely been one of reflection. Often, it is very easy to claim that I want to live a life of minimalism. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that I’m drowning in a pile of stuff. On the weekend I road tripped to Clear Lake to help my parents move out of our family cottage. Hardwood floors were put in and gaudy light fixtures and curtains removed. I found myself wishing we could stay. It’s funny how quickly my brain can return to it’s materialistic state. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
To me minimalism isn’t about getting rid of everything, it’s about getting rid of the items that no longer add value to my life. These items hinder my potential. It’s about understanding the tradeoffs. So yes, it could be argued that a family cottage is value adding. It took me the weekend to refocus and realize that it’s not about the building. It is the place and the people that have added value to my life.</div>

Here's a shoot I did on the weekend with Alexa. She adds so much value to my life, I will keep her ;) . I'm looking for people to shoot portraits with. Send me an email if you'd like to get some free portraits. (my contact info can be found on the "Me" tab). </div>

Sometimes I wish I could hand out free plane tickets so I could literally walk you through a story. There are things I’ve seen that I fall short on explaining with words. I wrote this story to help take you on my journey. One day I hope you experience it first-hand. <br />

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">A black shadow sweeps over me as I
duck my head to enter. The path is narrow and the gravel rolls beneath my feet,
kicking up into my sandals. There is a sharp pain I feel with every step, but this
aching is no longer because of the rock caught beneath my foot. There is new
weight piercing my heart. It is as though I am entrapped in a maze in which
every corner leads to a new found hopelessness. Boney fingers grasp my ankles, compromising
my balance, but I am left with no room to fall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
tormented by the cries of hungry children, but cannot find the children who cry
amongst the crowd. My head pounds as I am forced to listen to the market’s
dreadful song that has no chords. The roosters crow, and the sirens of cop cars
howl. Dogs bark and the dry rice hisses as it is poured into bowls. “Gooda
price, gooda price”, yell the moaning people of the street. </span>They look to
me to feed their needs. Their eyes watch me like a hawk watches its prey. The rich
colours of fabrics and fruits appear dull as they overwhelm the market stands. The
sweet smells of tortillas quickly sicken me causing an acidic taste to form in
my mouth. My heart feels as though it is on fire, burning it’s way out of my
chest. My breaths are short and sweat begins stinging my eyes. I run elbowing
my way through the people looking for an escape. I duck my head, I am out, but
pieces of my heart remain forever trapped in the Guatemalan markets. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 12px;">In 2015 I had the opportunity to partner with Impact ministries. It was amazing to see the hope Impact is bringing to the communities of Tactic, Guatemala. These photos reflect a lot of light, smiles and laughter. </span></div>

The technique has improved, but yet the art has worsened. “We’re now less likely to spend evenings huddled around a leather-bound album revisiting our own images then we are double tapping others’ on our lunch breaks” - Rachel Evan Lim. When I look back at my photographs I want to remember moments, people and conversations. </div>

You can live your entire life wishing you would have acted, living with regret. I have heard this thought in a series of forms. I think it's inspiration begins to dull amongst the reality of what life actually demands. Whether you're married or you have kids, there comes a time in which your own happiness becomes an after thought. </div>

If you're young like myself, you have plenty of time to grow up so explore your dreams now. I want to also reverse this statement. If you're older maybe you are running out of time. A wise woman challenged me with this concept of time once. I will forever treasure her for that wisdom. It is up to oneself to decide what his or her every day will look like. </div>

If you limit yourself, you will limit your success. The first step is to dream, ignore whatever stands in your way. I read a magazine article on a business man who always entered into new fields. If he was unfamiliar with a field it meant he didn't know its boundaries and its restrictions. He was then able to dream bigger than the experts of said field, granting him success. Don't limit yourself. </div>

My take is that life is a list of priorities. Some people burn themselves out making work their focus. I highly doubt that I’ll ever be rich, but wealth is something I’ve never desired. Passion, travel and God fall at the top of my list. Yes, I’m 20 years old and I live with my parents. My expenses are low and I own more than I should. Call my outlook foolish. Please tell me I’m a kid who doesn’t understand the adult world. I’ll grin and tell you I’m joyful, and I feel loved. Even some the richest people fail to find love and joy. Maybe I’m doing something right.</div>

Buying an iced coffee is eventful if I’m not in Winnipeg, but instead I'm sipping it along the Amsterdam canals. To come home and have to explain nine weeks of days, of moments to anyone is ridiculous. Chances are you’re not interested in hearing 63 days of me drinking coffee, getting on airplanes, and reinventing my iTunes playlists. Quite frankly, even I couldn’t listen to myself talk about every story and memory I have from Europe. One of the best and worst parts about travel is that memories are almost impossible to describe effectively. Like many people I will die trying to make you understand. I will forever drone on about my young years spent swimming in waterfalls and hiking down sinkholes. </div>

I will have you know we were in Switzerland six days and every day it rained. Trudy and Andrea kept apologizing for the "bad" weather. I just laughed as I'm one of the few people I know who loves the rain. The way I see it is the rain is the perfect excuse to visit all of the best cafes in Switzerland - often eating four desserts a day and drinking four rounds of coffee. I'm not exactly sure what made me fall in love Switzerland. Maybe it was Andrea, or Trudy and Theo. Maybe it was the fact that I ate four desserts a day. Even as I look out the plane window I see snowy mountain tops poking out from the clouds. I could happily live the rest of my life here. Now I'll let Alexa tell you a little bit more about our stay as after all we got to stay with her family.<br />

It was beyond incredible getting to see my mommas hometown - the small little town, with a rather large beautiful home. I'm forever grateful for the wonderful family and friends that took us in. Trudy and Theo were beyond generous and didn't let us pay for anything. They took us out for many rounds of coffee and dessert, they took us to see the mountains, and the small town Lucern. It's always super nice staying with people while travelling because they feed you all too well. We arrived to chocolates on our pillows, followed by two servings of dessert, and yet coffee with more dessert later that day. We had delicious homemade food (zopf, rösti, and bircher muesli). We even had one dinner with Andrea that included about 15 different cheeses and some potatoes, apparently that was a Swiss meal. We will definitely be replicating that supper when we get back home.<br />
<br />
Although the weather was beyond crappy, leaving that place we all said we would one day learn German and move there.<br />

Alright Santorini, not sure I have the words to properly describe you. One thing we can all agree on is that Santorini is a very magical island. We were blessed to have a superb host who organized and set up absolutely everything, making our stay as enjoyable and easy as possible. We arrived late the first night, and in the morning awoke to a view a photograph cannot do justice. We rented ATVs for the first two days which was loads of fun and very handy. We headed to the black beach, and let me tell you black sand is killer hot; especially when we are unprepared and don't bring towels - oops. We finished the day with some unreal food; having gyros that were only two euros, and some frozen greek yogurt for dessert, we truly were in paradise.<br />
<br />
The following day we woke up and headed to hike a mountain. I absolutely hate climbing up hills and am not sure what inspires me to always keep climbing. We then headed to the beach one last time and then to Oia for dinner. We heard that they had the best sunsets... apparently all the tourists got the same message as we were all crowded at the edge of the town to catch the best view of the sunset.<br />
<br />
To end our time in Santorini we headed for a day at sea on a catamaran. I don't think Brooke really knew what she was signing up for as she gets a little motion sick. Actually, I don't think anyone of us really knew what we were signing up for. I think we pictured something more like being on a yacht for the day, but it was something more like a sailboat. To say the least it was supposedly a calm day on the water and the entire day it felt like the boat could have capsized. We saw a white beach and a red beach, we got to go into the hot springs, and snorkel (there are no sea creatures in Santorini, honestly).<br />
<br />
We met some awesome people while we were here between our host Markos who was super helpful, a couple from New York on the catamaran, and our neighbours at the Airbnb from Boston.<br />
<br />
Santorini had stellar sunsets, vivid views, fantastic food, pleasant people, wonderful weather, and much much more. Santorini very much so felt like a vacation to the max and it was beyond difficult to say goodbye. It is safe to say that Santorini has been added to all of our future vacation destinations.<br />
<br />

Much love,</div>

(overlooking Dubrovnik)</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">And I'm ready for our parents to begin shaking their heads as they read this next post (or more like Anna's mother). I have to take you back a little to explain the full story...</span><br />
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">

It was our last night in Dubrovnik and we decided to go out for a nice steak dinner, as we were all so tired of eating homemade chicken salads, chicken sandwiches, chicken parmesan and chicken quesadillas. After dinner we headed back to the apartment to pack as we had a flight to Athens the next day <a dir="ltr" href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7948652247223423004">at 2:30pm</a>. You see, normally for each flight we check in online; we get an email, follow the link, and our boarding passes are sent straight to our smart phones - fast and convenient. So, we pulled up our emails. Alexa and myself opened the emails with our flight information. As the website was loading very slowly Alexa and I came to the conclusion that we would be better off to check in upon arrival at the airport. Then there was Anna. Anna could find no trace of her flight to Athens. This is when the panic started setting in. So basically here Anna is with no email in her inbox or trash, and no credit card statement proving the purchase of her flight to Athens (did the flight purchase even get processed?). Now to add to the fun we can't make phone calls throughout Europe . </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Staying hopeful we headed to the airport early the next morning to sort out the mess. Sure enough Anna was not recorded as a passenger on the flight. So as Alexa and myself had flights we were faced with the dilemmas of 1. Do we get on the flight? 2. How do we get Anna to Athens? and 3. When? 260 euros later Anna purchased a ticket to arrive in Athens three hours later than us. Now it gets better, as I sit in the Dubrovnik airport Anna is currently on her flight to Athens while Alexa and I wait for our flight that has been delayed five and a half hours (thanks Aegean Airlines). Here me and Alexa were planning to have a nice swim and hot tub before Anna's arrival in Athens. Currently, we are living off of Haribo starship mix and peanut m&m's figuring out life (what business we would like to open and when).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People always text me after I post about travel complication stories. The texts roll in saying "how awful, that sounds like the longest day ever". Now don't feel too bad for us, after all did I mention my flight is delayed in Croatia.. And that flight that is delayed is headed to Greece. Haha pretty sure we are doing just fine. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Cheers from the Dubrovnik airport where our 15 minutes of free wifi expired six hours ago (*we clink together our free bottles of water courtesy of the worst airline ever). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hold on I just boarded the plane and got a free ticket to any Aegean Airline destination - new favourite airline? Europe trip 2k17 here we come? Sorry Anna. </div>

To start off, Croatia wins for having the bluest water in the world (at least out of the parts of the world I have seen). Although Dubrovnik is much smaller than Split, it is the perfect vacation destination. Even I put on sunscreen (which is a rare occurrence) as the sun radiated crazy temperatures everyday. In the wonderful refreshing water you can see everything that is swimming beside and underneath of you. Dubrovnik consisted of joining some Italian boys in some volleyball in the ocean, as well as me and Anna trying to acquire a taste for beer (as Brooke already has a taste for it). We did ocean swimming, lots of climbing of hills, enjoyed the views, and lastly to end Dubrovnik with a bang, me and Anna (both afraid of heights) went in the air, higher than the hills/mountains, parasailing (please enjoy Brooke's photos of the horror in our eyes). Now they wouldn't let me and Anna split the parasailing cost so I just put it on my MasterCard and Anna would pay for my dinner that night. As we are all sitting around the dinner table on the water, forever grateful for the steak dinner we all just ate. Our waiter comes around with the bills and Anna puts her card in and the waiter proceeds to say it says incorrect pin. Brooke then says "how funny would it be if she brought the wrong MasterCard" (Anna and Alexa have the same MasterCard)?. Well, haha (not so funny for Alexa) Anna brought the wrong MasterCard, looks like parasailing and the steak dinner were both on me. </div>

Well despite almost missing our flight, the day actually turned out pretty well. We got to fly with Air Berlin for the first time. It turns out that this airline gives out giant free Lindt chocolates at the end of every flight (so it is safe to say we have a new favourite airline).<br />
<br />
We had the opportunity to stay in a beautiful, large flat very close to the centre of Split. Unfortunately the closest beach sort of sucked, the water was beautiful but the ground was a slab of cement. Wanting to try another beach, the next day we decided to hop on a ferry to the beach of Bol. Bol had some spectacular water and although the sun didn't feel all that hot we later realized that we were fried to a crisp in spite of our sunscreen efforts (actually let's not lie Brooke was the only one reapplying sunscreen). The following day was very rainy, and not all that nice. We decided to take a day just to relax in the apartment. This day was beyond enjoyed. Our bodies needed the day to rest up. So, we all slept in, ate breakfast, and an hour after waking up Anna and Alexa proceeded to have a 2 hour nap. Lots of Netflix and lots of food was enjoyed.<br />
<br />
On our final day we went with two elderly tourists from England and a tour guide (Denice) to Krka Lakes; the National Park. This was definitely a highlight of everyone's trip. The waterfalls were a chilly 10 degrees but we were determined to swim. We started a little trend, no one had gone swimming, but as got out of the falls people started trickling in.<br />
<br />
Later that day, as we were sitting down to enjoy a cup of coffee we connected our phones to wifi. We found an email from our Airbnb host. She was concerned as we were supposed to sign out at 11 that day. A classic little miscommunication. We contacted them immediately and there was a mixup with the dates. Our host was gracious enough to give us another day.<br />
<br />
We have had a few hiccups while we were here, but that's bound to happen a few times on a 9 week trip, just very glad that everything ended up working out, thank you God.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of love,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alexa</div>
<br />
What we learnt:<br />
- Croatian beaches are very rocky and are seldom walk-in accessible, definitely recommend heading to one of many beautiful islands if your wanting an ideal beach day<br />
- Go out and see the attractions, split is beautiful but can easily be seen in a day. If you want all that Croatia has to offer use split as a place that can take you to the national parks to see spectacular scenery.<br />
- So far it has been nearly possible to find Sangria in Europe, we suggest making it yourself (WE DID)<br />
<br />
Where we went:<br />
- Krka national park<br />
- Bol (on the island of Supetar)<br />

As unfortunate as it is that we only had a day and a half here, it is a blessing in disguise. No pictures can capture the view, no words can explain the beauty, however, our bank accounts can show the cost. Venice is a very expensive place and quite frankly in that sense one and a half days is plenty. It's safe to say this is the most beautiful place we have been yet; between the canals, the water, and finally the beaches (we have all been waiting for). Although we have been on a vacation for almost three weeks now, we have been go, go, go. Today felt like the first time we really got to go on a typical beach vacation; we're not complaining. We relaxed on the beach, went on a ferry ride, and we did lots of walking (as per usual). The day ended with a nice gondola ride (huge thanks to momma and poppa Mospanchuk).<br />

An hour ago I was in Vienna, and two days before that Hamburg, Germany. So, the question everyone asks... "do I regret the decision of a fast paced trip that stubborn, young, naiive me determinately planned (with my two bestfriends)"? With a smile on my face I say not for a second. I can tell you I wake up rushed, running to catch trains while downloading my next boarding pass. I wake up to 5 am alarms, scarfing down breakfast, yawning, with my eyes still closed. I can also tell you I've been to London, to Amsterdam, to Berlin, to Hamburg, to Vienna... and this is only the beginning. I've ridden double decker buses and bikes, trams, taxis and trains, subways, ferries, and planes. I've seen Big Ben, the Amsterdam canals, the Berlin Wall, and Venice vineyards. I've had tea and biscuits in London, gelato in Amsterdam, and Haagen-Dazs ice cream in Berlin (sweet tooth?).</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">A lot of people called us crazy when we told them our plan was to constantly be on the move for nine weeks. That's right, 19 places in nine weeks, yes maybe we are a bit crazy. The comments went something like this, "That's not enough time in Italy..., you are going to be rushed. Are you sure you know what you're getting yourself into?" We even sat with a travel agent with a long list of places and she actually looked at us and laughed - telling us the trip was impossible. Quite honestly no we didn't know what to expect, we just knew that we were stubborn and determined to see it all. So we left her office and we pulled out a map ourselves. </span></div>

<br />
We were welcomed into Vienna by the most lovely airbnb host. Thank-you again Jennifer!<br />
<div>
<br />
After going to bed in Hamburg at 2 am and then proceeding to wake up at 5 am to catch our early flight, it is safe to say that we were very dead our first day. Even though we were exhausted we did not want to waste any time. So, we walked around Vienna all day. We got some delicious pizza for lunch. Later we wandered through the beautiful garden and city shopping centre (Alexa continually wished she had more money). We cooked chicken caesar salads for dinner, and got some ice cream for dessert.</div>
<br />
Day two consisted of us sitting by a canal in a nice patch of sand. Closing our eyes we were almost convinced that we were in Mexico. Later we hiked up to the vineyards in our sandals. Looking over Vienna we drank one of the smoothest, locally made red wines (that we would like to add was half the price of water.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Alexa, Anna & Brooke</div>
<br />
Where we went:<br />
- Buggarten (park)<br />
- Danube Canal<br />
- Tel Aviv Beach<br />
- Eis Greissler (Ice cream shop)<br />
- Weingut Wein Cobenzl (vinyard)<br />
- McDonalds :)<br />
<br />
What we learned:<br />
- Vienna city centre is not all that big, and many of the major attractions are very walkable<br />
- Tap water is drinkable and very delicious<br />
- It is worth the hike up to the vineyards where you get both spectacular views and very cheap and delicious wine<br />

"I'd buy that if I had the money", seems to be the ongoing joke as this trip continues. It is my pleasure to inform you that we use this phrase all too often. Alexa has told Anna and myself that with her extra money she will be flying back to Winnipeg first class, she will be purchasing Ray-Ban Clubmasters and aviators, and will also be buying herself a Tiffany ring, shall I go on... I think she may be failing to realize that the money in her chequing account is going down, rather than increasing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we are in Amsterdam and I have to tell you that our first impression of this place was quite disappointing. This reaction may have had something to do with being overcharged for our taxi ride, the fact that we were h-angry and all the groceries stores were closed, or that Alexa dropped her Mastercard (by God's grace we came across it two minutes later). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thankfully, the next morning we were able to get out of bed ready for what Amsterdam had to offer. Amsterdam is quite different than London. To give you an image, every London boy who boarded our Amsterdam flight was already drunk and ready to party. The nightlife is crazy. I can honestly say that we can no longer differentiate between the smell of a cigarette and that of a joint (as marijuana is legal here). During the days we often chose to grab a cup of coffee or some gelato while sitting along the canals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have all found a new love for parks. The beautiful Kensington park in London and a lovely park 5 minutes away from our apartment in Amsterdam (Vondelpark). We spent an entire day in Vondepark working on our base tans/burns for Croatia.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At first we said we could see ourselves living in London, and we are now saying we could see ourselves living in Amsterdam. I'm pretty sure we will find it quite easy to live in any place that we come across on our journey. Now off to Berlin we go. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where we went:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Cafe Oslo (YUM)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Coffee Company</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Vondelpark - nice place for burgers along the path</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Cheese Museum :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Van Gogh Art Gallery </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things we learned:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Always ask the estimated price before getting into a taxi </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Be brave or stay away from night time flights! Arriving in a new city at night can be daunting especially with luggage in hand</div>
