I just read a comment from someone who is embarking on his 200 hours TTC journey and it made me remember my own journey. I watched this video I recorded in February 2015 before …

Starting a new week and last one in Göteborg before my holidays. Yey! Well…the workshop I will be attending in Stockholm this weekend is not exactly a holiday, but since it will be my opportunity to be just in the student’s role, I can say, it’s a kind of holiday 🙂 I’m so looking forward to it! …
