My vlogs were already on a bit of a backburner, but then my camera got stolen in Eindhoven and i lost half my african safari footage. And I can't really afford to buy new gear right now. It was a fun adventure and I learned a lot, but it wasn't really going anywhere anyway so I think it's time to move on to other things.

Well that sucks ass.

But it is something you can do instead of "feeling unproductive and lazing around on the couch self-loathingly",

- you already have the skills learned/refined,

- even a cell phone can be all the equipment you need at first,

- and it has both a physical bricks-and-mortar aspect and a virtual/viral aspect to the business.

That gives you more coverage/reality than your usual YouTuber, and a target market (visitors to Montreal), that is easy to target and market to.

It's an option. But I also understand when I am just DONE with something, and want to leave it behind. I get it.
