exploring Bucharest: Mogoșoaia Palace

Image
Good thing I am alive! I can not believe that this is my first post in 2017. It appears to me that, I usually take these trips, whether in Bucharest or not, without much planning beforehand. The beauty of having people around that you can do these kind of things with.  This time it was Mogoșoaia Palace, situated near Bucharest. Unfortunately, we were unable to visit the inside of the building. However, the lake near the estate, the park and the Palace itself were such a pleasant view. Lucky us it was a sunny beautiful day. I went full denim with the outfit, added my  beloved pair of Vans and I was good to go. Furthermore, I will let the pictures do the talking. the group Thank you for the photo takers and everyone who made this trip possible. See you next post!

I personally can not believe that I am posting again. I will not go into any details, but my schedule is extremely busy, and if I can survive the next month - April - I am pretty sure I can survive any academic challenge at this point.  Oh well, before beginning the fearful month I had to do a little recharge to my batteries. I am so grateful to have friends that come up with some of the most interesting ideas. The initial plan was to visit a few museums of Bucharest. I, myself, wanted to visit a certain coffee shop for some time, and I added that to our plan as well.  the museums The National Museum "George Enescu" & "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History - click above for websites - - the back of the  Cantacuzino Palace, where the museum is situated; below, the front, and some photos of myself around the place - - it is such a shame to see that the architecture is not as well preserved as it should be - - bell...

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...
