Just visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum—where the smell of rubber, memories of Fittipaldi & Castroneves, and my kids’ joy made it unforgettable. We kissed the bricks, relived racing history, and soaked in some serious design inspiration. 🏁🇧🇷

For centuries, Knossos was regarded merely as a city of myth and legend until it was unearthed in 1900 CE by English archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans.

The excavated site, adorned with frescoes, shed light on the Minoan sport of bull jumping and made the ancient tale of Theseus and the Minotaur (a creature that was half-man and half-bull) seem less fantastical. During bull-jumping, male athletes engaged closely with the bull as they leaped over its horns. This practice likely inspired the ancient perception of the 'myth' of the Minotaur, as these athletes appeared to embody the traits of both men and bulls. And, the discovery of the palace's complex layout lent credibility to the legend of the labyrinth.

It was Evans who first referred to the ancient inhabitants of Crete as 'Minoan,' named after King Minos of Knossos. His excavation and reconstruction efforts, though controversial, laid the groundwork for all subsequent research of Minoan civilization.

On a walk I encountered some Highlander cows. This one sat still long enough for me to sketch it.

As you can see I’m working in a LOT of journals and notebooks for 2025: a bullet journal, tarot journal, pocket diary, bujo ideas notebook, word of the year junkjournal, moon spells notebook, spring adventures artjournal, and many others. (Help! 🙂 ). That may seem like overkill but let me explain in my blogpost why this works for me:

Messy pile of notebooks, sketchbooks, diaries, and journals. Text says: "On no... all my journals for 2025".
#Bloomscrolling through Thursday. One of my favorite things to do when traveling is looking at the flora. I had plenty of time to do so in England, here are some of the ones I found, smelled, gently touched and then documented.

Berlin is a city of history, culture, and design—a place where past and present collide, from Cold War spies to Bauhaus icons and unforgettable street food.

Finally found the time to complete my #FOSDEM #traveljournal. Going to use the same notebook now only for trips to FOSDEM so that I finally remember which brew pubs to go to and when to take the bus to ULB 🤣
