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.

local deliciousness : dates & freshly made smoothies



Ruins of the Roman Forum (Ancient Agora)


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!

exploring Bucharest: Xenofon Street

Image
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.  hat H&M // top ZARA // pants...

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 ta...

follow me into the light

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 c...
