I officially edit over-long low-budget feature films that about two critics at a festival might actually watch.

I have been on an unofficial break for six months, though. In that time, I've been selling an apartment in London, UK and buying my dream cottage by a lake in Burgundy, France.

I've also been getting to spend a lot of time with this guy:

Holy shit, what does the cottage look like? Gorgeous dog by the way; I know nothing about dogs but I'm really starting to love them now– the big and fluffy ones that you can pet your heart and soul into.

I move in on August 19th... be prepared for bombardment of idyllic photos!

The dog's name is Arthur. He's a collie. He's my first dog, actually - I knew nothing about them before I got him - and I've learned more from him about how to treat humans than I ever learned from people. Would recommend :)

Hey there, how is life in the dream cottage in Burgundy? I hope that all is well with you and Arthur!

Congrats on fulfilling your dream! I have a couple of dream houses but the common theme with all of them is that I want to live with lots of nature around. Not too isolated though. Also, I really want a tree house.

You have such a cute dog! This is my dog and she is my first dog too. She's a husky mix.

A Husky on Hubski. Seems appropriate.

A shame #huski isn't active or known.

She's BEAUTIFUL! Those eyes :) Do you need to put sunblock on her nose?

    the common theme with all of them is that I want to live with lots of nature around.

Yup, they were my criteria, too! Did you find this need for nature to become more acute after getting your dog?

I did. I mean, beforehand I thought a view of an urban park or whatever would be fine, but after having my dog I realized that what I was actually looking for was full-on countryside. That's what I ended up with, too- a meadow, a wood, a lake :) I'd send a link but I'm not sure how hubski feels about posting personal info (is there a policy on this, mk?)!

and now I want a treehouse, too...

Thank you :D Nope, she doesn't need sunblock as we only walk her in the early mornings or in the evenings.

Ever since I was young, I've loved nature and animals. Unfortunately, it got buried as I grew up because everybody around me discouraged me. It was only in University that I re-discover I am happiest around nature/animals. Also, the compulsory overseas immersion program (where I studied in Washington for 3 months) reinforces it significantly. It was the happiest time of my life. But I missed my dog a lot :(

    I'd send a link but I'm not sure how hubski feels about posting personal info

You can PM me.

I wish I don't live in a city so I can build my treehouse!
