I have been very tardy in my blog writing, but the truth is I am in such a wonderful place (in so many ways) that to stop and write about my adventures would be to miss out or live a little less in the present.
As someone who works with social media day in day out, it becomes an unfortunate occupational hazard to be constantly think about "sharing", be it via Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, Skype, Google+...you see where this is going.
I have had to make a conscious effort to reinforce my own values to stop and smell the roses. I can always share it with you later.
So while I have ideas for blog posts most days and so many things I want to share, I hope you, my family and friends, understand that at some point, I have to put the iPhone down, step away from the computer and really enjoy each day.
I see my blog becoming more of a photo journal, a way in which I can share my experiences without having to put time aside to sit and write, free of the feeling of guilt that descends when I haven't written for so long.
I hope instead that I will speak to you all via skype, telephone or even more wonderfully, face to face, so that I can fill you in more personally and more importantly, we can exchange ideas and experiences!
If you have come to my blog via a moving to Vancouver website or Google search, please feel encouraged to comment or email me. I am always excited to hear from fellow adventure seekers, expats or new comers to the area, especially if you like to spend your days outside and your evenings on the dance floor...
But for now, I will close the laptop, sit back, take a sip of wine and enjoy the sunset from my balcony.
I'll tweet about it later...
Aimée L’amour x

Yes, my Twitter account is suffering the same fate. Not because of adventure, more to do with every day 'stuff'. It is really encouraging to hear how much you 'live life' Aimee and I hope that your experiences will ensure that my kids are brave enough to 'grasp the nettle'. As for me - i'll be smelling the roses a little more from now on. Hx
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, hey there!
ReplyDeleteI just scrolled through a couple of blogs on M2V and stumbled upon yours. I hope it's ok if I comment on here.
Three years ago I travelled to Bellingham, WA to study there for a year. During that time I went to Vancouver a couple of times and well... I fell in love with that city! I've been back here in Austria for more than two years now but I cannot get Vancouver out of my mind. Sounds like I'm talking about a guy but nope, it's a city. Right now I'm about to get my Master's degree which will take me another couple of months. But after that, I am seriously considering moving to Vancouver. I feel like that's something that I at least need to try. Because I don't want to look back on that time and regret never having tried it. Maybe it's just a fantasy and after a couple of months I'll realize that it's not right for me. But I need to find out myself.
Sorry for the long comment, especially since I am a total stranger to you. But I just thought I'd ask you if you had some advice for me. I only found the M2V website today, so I haven't checked it out completely yet. But it looks very helpful.
Anyways, if you've read all of this, thanks. Have a nice day!
