exploring Bucharest: Xenofon Street

I have moved to Bucharest. 

Here I am, begining a new chapter in my life. Not long ago, I have started my university student life. I am currently getting used with everything, the new city, meeting new people, organizing my time, my expenses and at the same time making sure I still do things that appeal to my heart such as finding and visiting new and exciting places. Well, last week I got the idea to do something like mini series on my blog of places I visit in Bucharest, the capital of my dear country Romania.

This time the spotlight falls on Xenofon Street.

The Xenofon street, as it is named, is often referenced as the city’s only stairways street. It is 220 years old, narrow, and less than 100 meter long. It however has over 100 steps. The hard part, was getting there, as it is quite hidden from the human eye. 

Of course, I had to take some pictures to show the amazing place and also my outfit of the day.

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
