Instagram

Quality, not quantity, is my measure. • • When I first started Instagram, I was all about quantity over quality. I posted a lot and often, and it was not the best quality pictures either. I know some people will say that Instagram should be about an instant snap, that moment here and now but I choose to see Instagram as my visual memory book. Something I could share with other people and something I could go back to years later. • • I decided that I wanted my Instagram to be a beautiful, positive and motivating place. Once I decided that I concentrated on creating quality over quantity. I want to be consistent with my feed but I don't want to rush it. I don't want to post something just because I haven't got anything else to post. To me, it's about being creative and having an opportunity to show YOU how I see this world. • • Which one do you choose? Quality or Quantity? #enroutewithakvile

In a world that is quick to judge, be kind. • • Kind is not weak. It says a lot about you as a person but it doesn’t define your ambitions. For so many years, being kind meant being weak, unfocused or unsuccessful. It was a quality that no one really wanted to have... We became too busy to be kind and concentrated on ourselves only. Sadly, we became ignorant and even rude to those around us but we forgot that at the end of the day, you can’t build an empire on your own. So when you feel entitled or better than others, remember, we will all eventually come to rely on the kindness of a strange. • • What are your opinions about kindness? Do you think we could do better? Or are we doing enough? #enroutewithakvile

I WON!! (katching) • • I’m not a big fan of gambling or betting to start with. In my environment, we’ve always said you have to earn money to “get there”, not wait for it to happen and before our trip to Monaco, I have never been to a casino. But have you even been to Monaco if you haven’t visited the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo? • • So I gave it a go! I won €0.43 in total. Absolute legend, right? We had a fabulous time there and even though I am not rich just yet, having a proof of my “incredible” win in such a majestic place made me happy. • • Have you ever been to a casino? Did you win anything? @casinosmontecarlo #enruitewithakvile

How do you train your mindset? • • There are two types of people in the world: those who are grateful for what they have & those who complain about things they don’t have. The go-getters vs the naysayers. The cheerleaders vs the haters. I have always known I wanted to be a part of the first group. I couldn’t understand negative people and why they always come up with nasty comments but never solutions. I was raised to appreciate things that I had and work hard for things I wished to have. So when it comes to negative people, I believe it’s all about you and your mindset. It’s about how you choose to see the world and training your brain to think a certain way. It’s about blocking things that you don’t wish to have in your life and being okay with it. It’s about being honest with yourself and those around you. My mind is certainly a work in progress but every day I wake up, I train my brain to be positive and to not entertain negative people. I control my life and in which direction it is going, no one else. • • What about you? How do you train your brain? Or do you let your brain run your world? #enroutewithakvile

home [hom] noun - a gathering place for family to join together in laughter. the one place you will always be surrounded by those who love you. a place or feeling of belonging. • • Less than 2 weeks until I am back to this city. Every time I pack my luggage to go home, there's something special and emotional about it. We will be eating way too much, drinking a little and enjoying that precious time with people that matter the most. I only get to see my parents 2-3 times a year but we always make it count. In October, we always try to make time and go to the Oktoberfest together because this is how we roll. My dad likes to put his lederhosen on, drink alcohol-free beer (he doesn't drink any alcohol and proves that Oktoberfest is fun at all times, even if you don't drink) and go on a few rides! I will make sure to take my camera with me this time and showcase you the best moments when we are there. • • What about you? How often do you see your parents? What traditions do you have in your family? #enroutewithakvile

There is no real cure for Monday but treating it with coffee helps. • • Back in my uni days, coffee was my best friend. It used to keep me awake during lectures, helped me push through some big projects and I also enjoyed the taste of a good brew. A few years later, I swapped my usual cup of coffee with a can of an energy drink (bad girl, I know). Now that I moved to Manchester and every other shop on my way to work sells coffee, I am getting back into my old routine. I am visiting different coffee shops and ticking off my favourites. A beetroot latte is my latest finding that I absolutely love. Anyone else is a fan or am I the only one? • • Shoutout to @grindsmithcoffee for having some good coffee and also fabulous working spaces around the shop! If you are ever in Manchester and want to get some work done, pop in there - you'll get the best of both worlds, I promise. :) #enroutewithakvile
