Maxime Luca's August 2026 Newsletter
This past month has been full of adventures and unexpected twists. I unfortunately had a bike accident that forced me to slow down just before my vacation. Thankfully, Spain has always had a way of helping me recharge and heal. So I have been reading and enjoying the Mediterranean sea to the fullest.
One of the highlights of the month was an incredible trip to Bucharest, which far exceeded my expectations.
I'll be making my way back to Montreal next week for a few days before heading out on one last adventure ahead of starting my master's degree in September. If you'd like to catch up before then, I'll be around from August 6–10, and again from August 20.
