Greetings from Estonia!

I've had a lovely time exploring Tallinn recently, a very interesting city with a very old Baltic style to it in the middle of a transition into one of Europe's hotspots for skilled tech and IT workers.

As a result there are many little cafes with excellent WiFi and cozy nooks in which one can settle down to get a few things done, and it's relatively socially acceptable to get out the laptop for a bit 🙂

One of the things on my list was to review the early feedback forms from our just completed Ireland trip and our just just completed Greek island-hopping program.

Greetings from Estonia!

The past few newsletters I've mentioned trips coming up in the short-to-medium term and thus it's time for a zag into things further away on the horizon.

I've spent a good chunk of time this week poring over details for a trip I find myself particularly salivating over, a rail journey that I've been keen to put together for several years now.

Ow. Ow. OW.

I lean over carefully, almost but not quite reaching over the bramble thicket’s angry thorns. 

OW!

It’s always this way: by September, the easy-to-pick wild berries have vanished, snatched by the people out for an evening stroll with their dog or cycling to & from work along countryside paths like these, or pecked to sticky oblivion by birds.

I could not resist the urge to get moving once September hit and thus I've come out to spend a few weeks taking in the autumn beauty of Estonia.

As the most well-known tourist destinations in Europe get busier and busier, one must venture a bit further afield to find a more relaxed pace and that feeling of experiencing a country as the locals do, something that is basically impossible in a sea of other travellers.

Greetings from Toronto!

Happy Labour Day weekend! There is no holiday in the modern Canadian calendar that signals a bigger shift than Labour Day - school, the government, the markets, seemingly everything starts to move again after Labour Day.

Its message is of course the opposite; ideally don't labour, move, or think about the future (inasmuch as one can)...be present, optimally outside and in good company.
