walk the line

Beautiful christmassy Brussels.  December 2023.

  Attended my second Special Commission in October 2023. Due to this spent 8 days in lovely Netherlands.

  What a great feeling to be back in New York City after quite some years. 

  Arrived in Montreal during noon and as all previous days had been very much full of steps and kilometres, decided to take a rest day. Got some food and chilled in the sun on the hostels rooftop. 

Hello Canada! It was a long drive from Chicago to Toronto, but for how cheap it was, it was worth it. Also, there is a certain charm about long bus rides for me. Always meet interesting people and hear interesting stories. There were a couple long-distance bus-drivers on it, riding to their next job destination, so, got to hear a bit of their life and adventures.

September 2023.

  Went on a work-trip to Madrid in early September. Spent a fun weekend with the chicas in Valencia before and headed to North-America after Madrid. So got to spend another day and a half in Madrid when coming back! 

  June 2023 How transport failed us completely, but the festival was absolutely amazing! Flixbus 2: us 0.

 June 2023 Last time we were on a work-trip to Brussels, decided to take advantage of cheap Ryanair mid-Europe flights and flew to Ibiza for a long weekend. Had been wanting to check this party-hub out for some time. It's dreamy, gorgeous, vibrant, fun and quite expensive. So, in my opinion, a long weekend is exactly a right amount of time to be spent there!

  A long weekend to run towards the sun in early April was just what the doctor ordered before finishing the marathon of writing my Masters thesis. Had never been to lake Garda area and now would happily explore the region further!

January 2023. Last leg of the January roadtrip led to Portugal. I was near Lisbon on a youth exchange in 2011 when I was just discovering my passion for travel. It was amazing to be back 12 years later and discover even more of this beautiful country. 

  January 2023. So, as mentioned, I flew to Barcelona, spent some time with a good friend of mine, discovering more of Barcelona's food and wine scene and then my continued with a train ride towards Malaga. Also, had my last lecture of autumn semester on the train, and then charged my batteries for two weeks before the last semester of uni and all that thesis writing.

 January 2023. January and February tend to be the months I need vacation the most, as the need for light, warmth and sunshine is getting stronger and stronger.
