I was having drinks with a friend worked in HR, in which we were discussing the future of careers and how we’re essentially entering into a jobless economy. Although I’ve been leaning towards this concept for a long time, the trend was really validated when I recently attended a talk by law-firm director Jeff Dennis on the landscape of VC funding in Canada

Valletta also happens to be one of my favourite cities in the world, and after having lived in Malta for a few years (but not having returned for the past two), I decided it was time to revisit the place I had once fallen in love with and get reacquainted. Now, even though I never actually lived in the capital city itself, I won’t hesistate to state that I know Valletta just as well as any il-belt (the capital city’s residents). Here is how to spend a wonderful weekend in Malta’s capital city: Check into the Ursulino Hotel. If you have time to spare, my all-time favourite restaurant on the entire island is found deep within the maze of Birgu’s winding alleys.

Another example that I love is a friend told me how she is doing a skill exchange with her roommate, in which she’ll be teaching her how to make kombucha in exchange for being taught how to embroider! So instead of giving some meaningless material object that they don’t necessarily even want let alone need, think of something that will really improve their life, or the life of others. I now use brands like Rent the Runway to get trendy pieces for trips or partywear for events, and you can gift someone a subscription plan that allows them to pick out their own faves. Before we go buying mindless gifts, I’d really encourage you to think about what kind of contribution this gift will be to someone’s lives, the environment, and the greater good!

Fading Bloodlines was established as modern day cultural research project, to document and share the stories of these extraordinary women, before any real-life evidence of this cultural practice becomes entirely extinct. The Fading Bloodlines expedition team has already made several trips deep into remote regions of Chin and Rakhine states of Myanmar, areas where no post-colonial government surveys or mapping has taken place. So, even if you can spare the cost of your morning latte, please donate: If you want to read more about what trying to get out of this project, our expedition objectives are as follows: Raise awareness and document this vanishing cultural art and traditional way of life. Share expedition findings through updates to the broader public through the project website, social media, media updates, The Royal Canadian Geography Society, The Explorers club and other like-minded channels.
