"Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." - W. Somerset Maugham

Roxy came into my life about 4 years ago - she was rescued from a killing shelter - and her presence has been a constant memento mori. She's always in the moment, and always present - now, here.

I'm currently traveling around Europe with her, in a campervan. Traveling solo with a dog is different. Slower. More isolated. And more connected.

We can't choose whether to have good days. But we can choose to seek delight, even in the worst ones.

And learning to see the world through a dog's eyes is teaching me how to be delighted.

TE HUUR - Bon, ik vertrek binnenkort op reis. Een lange reis vanaf januari, maar ook in september ben ik een kleine maand weg. En ik verhuur mijn huis dan. Tis in Heide-Kalmthout, erg rustig maar dichtbij station en op 22 min treinen van Antw-Centraal. Gelegen in bosrijke omgeving, en natuurlijk vlakbij de heide.

2 slaapkamers, vintage vibes, modern comfort (en nieuwe keuken :)).

In eerste instantie enkel te huur voor vrienden of vrienden van vrienden.

Interesse? Stuur me een DM of comment hieronder. Ik deel op verzoek ook foto's van interieur.

Ken je iemand die hier graag zou wonen? Stuur maar door! Grazie by @kris.achten
