One Day at a Time
I hope you are enjoying the fall colours and spirit. I definitely miss it here in Malta. However, just this morning, we had a high of 22 and the sun was shining so bright.

I Swam in October!
This week has been really good, fun and crazy at the same time! The school year started for my students on Wednesday, so I finally had the chance to put my OWN lesson plans to action! Turns out the kids really enjoyed the new and creative ideas I planned, so I will be continuing those for several weeks.
My Goals For This Week
It’s really important to remind yourself of what you’ve done, and who you’ve become. I definitely am not the same person I was when I left Canada. I am more confident (and not just acting confident), I am more life-loving, I matured, and I am making sure to make every decision with pride and honesty.
Ukraine Celebrates 30 Years of Independence
I have recently come back from Ukraine, a place I hold very dear to my heart for many reasons. First of all, it is my blood and my family. Second, ever since I started University I was immensely involved in the Ukrainian diaspora. Finally, Ukraine is in a very bad position right now, as even though it celebrated its 30th year of Independence a few days ago, its sovereignty is constantly under threat by the Russian government.
Goal Setting and Improving… What’s Next?
I finally found a job that I find intrinsically (and extrinsically) rewarding, which has been so so important for me. In fact, I think that is why I have volunteered so much in University, because to most people, work that makes you feel like you are making a difference feels sooo much better than making a ton of money and not knowing what to do with it
Life in Malta and a Small Getaway to Homeland
I have to be honest with you, and say that I expected my twenties to be all party and fun, with no adult responsibilities holding me back. Even though that has been partly true, I have come to realize that at least for me, my twenties have been a spur of confusion, discomfort and lots of introspection.
Austria at it’s finest
On Saturday, I woke up at 5am to make it on a train that would take me across the country to a beautiful town called Hallstatt. It was a little hard to wake up, but once I got out of the house, it was so worth it. Hallstatt is arguably the most beautiful city that I’ve been to, and most of my vlog contains videos of the mountains and houses there. I definitely recommend taking a look.
A Little More Bulgaria, a Lot More Vienna
My first day in Vienna was filled with walking by my favourite areas from the past, and sitting in beautiful gardens. I also found a piano rental place, where I started going daily for only 5€ and hour!
Back in Bulgaria!
This week I was at the black sea with lots of family. We had a wonderful time!!! We stayed in Burgas with a 20meter walk to the beach, the closest I’ve ever stayed.
I’m Back in Malta… For Good
The day before I was going to work on my vlog/blog, I got a phone call from the school I applied to, and they told me I got the job. I was feeling very stressed and quite sad that week, so after hanging up, there were some tears of relief and joy.
