I guess words like “I just love my media” would never exit my mouth, simply because I don’t. What strikes me about this is that I still engage in it everyday, and very much enjoy doing so. But I have many mixed feelings about where our technology is developing towards and wether I like the …

Why I (not always) heart my media
When I got into seventh grade my parents bought me my first smartphone. This was my first own digital device. Like most kids my age I immediately downloaded every social media app I could think of and created an account.

I was raised in a household where travelling is valued above most other pleasures in life. I still believe to this day that embarking on a journey away from home is one of the most rewarding things anyone can do: there will always be something to learn, something to gawk at, and something to understand. …
