About Tim

I am a teacher and a writer, cur­rently liv­ing in Brus­sels, Bel­gium. I am a bit obsessed with “the good life,” sort­ing out what that means exactly and exper­i­ment­ing with ways to make life bet­ter. This blog is my jour­nal of the best insights I find into the good life, and what I call Lifecraft.

Life­Craft

Life­craft is about the lit­tle skills and tips that help us make the most of our daily lives. The con­cept of Life­Craft is inspired by Bushcraft (which is about thriv­ing in the wilder­ness). I think we all work hard and ben­e­fit from tak­ing time to exper­i­ment with ways to improve our days.

My approach to Life­craft empha­sizes exper­i­men­tal­ism and the shar­ing of sto­ries and art. I recently met an artist named Jenny. She had my wife and I over for tea. Her house is filled with art she’s been given by friends. Walk­ing into that envi­ron­ment, drink­ing tea out of a mug she made, sur­rounded by beau­ti­ful paint­ings and sculp­tures cre­ated by her, her hus­band and her friends made me feel so settled.

This blog is about keep­ing track of those kinds of insights. Sim­ple ideas about what makes a good life. I also read books, travel a lot and I swap sto­ries with peo­ple I meet on my travels.
