JANUARY 2022 HIGHLIGHTS
What I’m focusing on this month
⇒ LEARNING
I am learning several courses about video editing with DaVinci Resolve, storytelling for animation and motion design, lighting in photography, and a new language: Estonian.
⇒ CREATING
I am focusing my energy to prepare new content for Plantree, that hopefully be able to release by Q2 this year.
⇒ SETTLING DOWN IN ESTONIA
Since moving to Estonia, I enjoy our new slow & mindful lifestyle by visiting touristy places and not-so-touristy. This year winter has been very beautiful and full of snow! Got to enjoy it while it last. Who knows next winter got bad like last year’s? 🤷🏻♀️
