I am a girl stuck between two worlds, and by stuck I mean I’m in love with two different ways of living.
I am a big sucker for HGTV and home reno series. My favourite thing to watch is room or house make-over shows, Instagrams, youtubes, I LOVE HOME RENO!
BUT I am also a sucker for the travel life and more recently #vanlife or #tinyhouse. The idea that you can live with modern day luxuries and still move around has become more and more appealing to me.
I love to travel. I think it’s the greatest learning experience you could encounter. About yourself and others. If you’re traveling, you’re learning something. BUT I am also a pretty big home body. I love having my safe space that feels like “home” I like having my own bed, my pillows, I like knowing where everything is and having it my own. I am the definition of a nester. I moved in with my boyfriend (now husband) about a year and a half ago. And within about 4 months I had fully nested into our apartment. It wasn’t magazine worthy, and was most definitely done on a budget. But it looked, and felt like us, it’s our home.
I think the idea of being able to bring my home with me, of knowing where everything is, and having my bed and my pillows with me while I travel and learn from other people is very enticing to me right now.
When I thought of adding this tab to my blog I thought it was going to be filled with our home reno’s. And might still be. But I’m becoming more and more aware of the fact that, just because I always thought I would, and everyone else I know is, settling down in one spot, buying a house and starting their family once they’re settled and set up, it doesn’t mean it’s the only way to do it.
I have no idea what our future looks like, will we own a home, when would we own a home, where would we own a home? But either way I am becoming more and more comfortable with the fact that that might look different than what I’d always imagined. It’s ok. It’s ok to not know. It’s ok to change your mind.
So long story short, this tab is going to be a definite work in progress. I have no idea what it’s going to look like, but I know it will feel like home.
