Ethical Wanders

I've been meaning to write this article for a long time. Of course, I couldn't write about travelling ethically without considering the environmental impact of it. So I started researching. Turns out planes are not the biggest bidders when it comes to pollution in tourism and travelling. Maybe we all need to take a look at the environmental cost of the technological revolution we are living, and our everyday actions involving our computers and internet, rather than only considering the visible impact we have.
The pollution generated by the internet industry might seem intangible, invisible, but it is very real, and probably one of the biggest threat we will have to adress in the coming years (well, today actually).

Aussi, I just wanted to feel the love (et le partager, vous êtes même pas prêt, je suis rendue sentimentale p*s toute). Revenir à la maison sans être prête, avec des petits morceaux de coeur et d'identité éparpillés au vent, ça te fait sentir vide un peu. Au fond c'est vous qui faites que la maison c'est la maison.

Est-ce que je suis de retour pour de bon? Claro que non. Mais, je vais prendre le temps de squatter vos divans et voir vos faces.

À bientôt Montréal.

Probably the most discussed topic, yet subject to a ton of misrepresentations and very little useful information, the infamous: Safety.
I often feel a certain uneasiness when discussing (or being asked) about safety, and I thought I'd write it down so we can reflect on it together.
*As usual, with my very limited point of view.

Here it is!

Everyone understands the general concept: keep your things safe, avoid looking like a lost tourist, be care...
