Journal of less important matters 05/05/2020

Such a peculiar thing this life is. One year ago, in fact even last week, I was sitting and remembering my Icelandic days. I truly missed the place, its vibes and the stress-free life I'd lead there. I even started to think how it'd be like to be back, to start all over again there.... Continue Reading →

Life goes in cycles

Life does go in cycles! My cycle lasts about 2 years. And funny I say this because I perfectly remember myself from 2 years ago. I was still living in Iceland, but I had a problem to adopt to that style of living, mentality, climate, etc. I also couldn't really accept the idea that despite... Continue Reading →

The spring is officially announced when you can go outside wearing shorts and relax all day in the sun. On the beach. In fact,... Continue Reading →

Keep calm and eat doughnuts!

Morskie Oko Park Tour

The sunny weather seems to get acquainted with Warsaw and keeps brightening our days with a lovely, warm and springtime air. Ideal conditions to go for a tour and learn something new about the capital city. It happened that today the tour was about the old part of Mokotow district, the "residential" area where in the...

Have a good week!

Usually, on Monday mornings I get up with a "don't-come-close-to-me" attitude. Firstly, because I hate mornings. Secondly, I hate Mondays. Today, it wasn't any better.  Especially when I had in mind a vision of all the morning spent in public offices... However, the more I walked through the city, the better I felt. It's such...
