travel journal: Thessaloniki



During my annual trips to Greece I do not have the occasion to visit too much due to the fact that, it is more like a family trip with its sole purpose being relaxation (standing by the beach, eating local food, sleeping etc.). However, this year we decided on taking a detour through Thessaloniki. We spent half of our day there so, consequently, we did not see every part of this beautiful city. Here it goes.

This is what I could see in such a short amount of time. I will certainly come back as the city has much more to offer. Thank you all for reading an see you next post!

Guess who is back? After such a long time, I finally got out of my cave. These past two months have been the most stressful and, at the same time, the most amazing that I have had in a long time. I hope you will be pleased to know that I got into the university that I wanted. I am so proud of myself and of how I have grown both intellectually and spiritually.  I came back to what I like doing best, photo-shoots! You must thank my dear friend Diana for the photos your are going to see below, as she was my accomplice. So, make sure you take a look at her blog and I promise you will be pleasantly surprised. The outfit pictured in this post came as response to the scandalously hot weather. I wanted it to be classy, flowy and, at the same time, really comfortable. I have recently bought this black jumpsuit especially for summertime. What I love most about it is the not so usual wide leg lower part. However, despite its slightly unusual cut, it is very versatile and can b

went North, found Oslo

Image
My latest travel consists in a little adventure up north in the Scandinavian city of Oslo. To sum it up in a few words, this is among the few places that make me feel like I would actually like to live in it and not just be a tourist. I always prefer to let the photos do the talking for me.  - our airbnb -  - the touristy stuff - Oslo Opera House - my favorite place in Oslo must be the home of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet , and the national opera theatre in Norway - Barcode Project - a geometric system that stands out architecturally (as I later found out, there has been intense public debate about the height and shape of the buildings) - Vigeland Park - the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist - Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art - this is a place where you have to set some time aside to visit it completely - Oslofjorden - seen bellow from opposite sides (photos taken one da

winter recap

Image
Spring has almost landed on our planet. Winter is doomed to be over, and although there are a few traces of it left here or there, we can acknowledge that the weather is getting warmer and the days brighter. This being said, I would like to make a review of my winter using my Instagram  photos and also other pictures I took during these months. December December was nice. We had a snowless Christmas which was not so bad. As you can see I got the chance to decorate my room with beautiful bouquets of roses. I was also the Santa of my classroom, meaning that I was the one who distributed the gifts at the Secret Santa event. One night, coming home from a meditation class, I took a photo of the majestic Christmas tree placed in the central part of the city. January Well, we actually got some snow in January. I was also far more productive when it comes to school and taking photos. On the first pic you can see the not so festive napkins I used when setting the table on the f
