This gives me new energy

An extra kilo on the barbell, seeing the penny drop in someone else’s eyes, a good espresso, starting a new course, fresh Nikes.

Why?

A dose of caffeine and dopamine, topped off with a hint of adrenaline.

This is where I find inspiration

New perspectives! Fascinating how looking differently helps you see new things. I love sentences that help capture life just a little better.

Why?

Life is full of choices. With many of them, especially the important ones, you don’t know exactly what the outcome will be. If you’re unsure what to do, ask yourself this: are you doubting, or are you hesitating? Doubting means you don’t know. Hesitating means you do know, but you’re not acting. Go!

My place to recharge

With a book, I find calm. Outdoors, I recharge.

Why?

I enjoy beautiful places and discovering new things. Sometimes faster, on the motorbike. Sometimes slower… but preferably faster.

My favourite season

Spring!

Why?

The feeling that the world opens up again. That winter dreams come back to life. That sounds lovely and it truly is. But sometimes I’m better at dreaming than doing. So feel free to ask me where I’ve been, and which piece of (dream)land I’ve just discovered.
