Being Single in Vancouver

by Tazim Damji

As an adult, I’m forced to make the hard decisions. Like choosing between eating popcorn or chips and salsa for dinner, when I don’t feel like cooking. I know that whatever decision I settle on will change the course of my future in a major way. Have you seen the movie Sliding Doors, starring Gwenyth Paltrow? In the film, Gwenyth Paltrow's character is trying to catch a train. The movie splits in two—in one future she catches the train and in the other she misses it. Her life goes in a ...

Three Things I’m Letting go of in the New Year

by Tazim Damji

As we head into the New Year, I've been laying out my calendar for the next year and filling out goal-setting worksheets. I started by filling in some of the adventures I plan on going on/experiencing and then some business-related goals. In order to add in more (fun/adventure/business launches), it's necessary to remove things from my life that are no longer serving me. Here are just three of those things. 1. "Keeping busy" You've heard it countless times, I'm sure. Someone you know asks ...

A Different Kind of Budget Travel – Thrifty Travel

by Greg

Some general thoughts about the art of travelling on "shoestring" budgets, destinations & expectations, and budget travel. A few years ago, Tazim and I were living on the prairies in Cow-town— daydreaming about a different life, or at least of seeing the world beyond the rockies. We'd both been around North America a bit, in the company of our parents or family, and in fact, Tazim had already been overseas to London for a summer after high-school graduation, but neither of us had done ...

Decluttering Challenge: Using the KonMari Method of Tidying

by Tazim Damji

KonMari Method

When people start describing my one-bedroom apartment in Vancouver as "cozy," I start thinking about apartment-hunting days where "cozy" has often been used to describe a place that is on the small side. Maybe even a place that is somewhat cramped. I have a generously sized main room, where I work from home, with my desk facing a large expanse of windows, work at my dining table (which is not in the little designated dining area), lounge on my sofa, and prepare meals/style Instagram and blog ...

How to Have the Best Year Ever

by Tazim Damji

How to have the best year ever

New Year’s resolutions: don’t you just hate them? Many people make them, and never stick to them, or make resolutions that they think they should. I’m doing things differently this year; really focusing on what is most important to me. First, I started by creating a word for the year, and using that to guide me with my goals and intentions for the year. Along with the word of the year, I will be using several other tools in my life.  ...

A Fresh Start Is Like Jumping Out Of An Airplane

by Tazim Damji

life without risk

Starting on a new adventure can be both exciting and scary at the same time—like jumping out of an airplane. I should know, because I've done so before. No one told me that the first time you skydive, you aren't supposed to do so solo. Apparently the norm is to skydive with an instructor, and then go solo. I had no idea. It wasn't something that had been on my 'bucket list' for a long time, or something that I'd been wanting to do for a long time. Really, how would that be possible—I went ...
