Before I begin this blog, I just want to set the scene for where I am writing. I was on my way to a brunch …
My time in Malta has made me grow more than ever before, being far from family and close friends, and starting a whole new life all alone at the age of 21.
To commemorate this adventure, I would like to share a 15 minute video (it was extremely hard to condense all this time into such a short video) which encompasses my experience on this island.
I hope while watching this video, you can also reflect on your own year, and see all the things and events you can be grateful for.
Happy New Year!
My short weekend trip in Sofia, where I skied the beautiful Vitosha
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.
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.
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!
