Walk through Paris

This post, walk through Paris, is a *mostly* picture only post, with short descriptions to a few of the pics I shared. I hope you enjoy all of them. Look at the name of the street. I’m loving this Puma shop in Paris. People are really interested in the restorations of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de […]

Barbican

Barbican, Krakow

The Barbican in Krakow is both gorgeous and it is located near the city centre, making it a great place to see. I’ve seen both the Barbican and the Defensive Walls with a joint ticket. There is another attraction which can be seen, the Celestat, but I didn’t visit it. Most likely I will do […]

Canterbury Cathedral

I wanted to visit Canterbury Cathedral for a while. Besides being one of the most important cathedrals in Britain, it is also the place where Thomas Becket was killed in 1170. The spot where he was killed is marked with an interesting memorial. Because it is such a well know cathedral this is a picture-only […]

Krzysztofory Palace, Krakow

Krzysztofory Palace, in Krakow, is now a museum. It is a small palace located in the main square of the city, hence the restaurant tables in front of it. I actually missed this entrance and used a side door to enter the museum. I was walking through Krakow and decided to visit the museum on […]

Volunteering in Ukraine

In 5 weeks I did over 180 hours of volunteering in Ukraine. I will cover 2 themes: my roles and the experience of volunteering. Because of its sensitivity I can’t talk about one of the roles. While all are on a need-to-know basis, some require extra privacy. For example the volunteers don’t know where the […]

I spent under 2 days at home this month. After returning from Ukraine on the 21, we left for Canterbury on the following day, and by the 24 we were in Paris. Now I am in France, but I will return from my holiday shortly. I am very excited to get back home and stay […]

5 weeks in Lviv

5 weeks in Lviv, in pictures, is my latest post. I’ve been blogging about everyday life and different places in Lviv from mid-August. Today I am sharing 20 pictures from my 5 weeks in Lviv, random snippets of everyday life, from my hotel rooms (had 2) to vegan food to shots to getting the bus. […]

Entrance to Lviv Coffee Mine

Lviv Coffee Mine

Ukraine has a lot of fancy cafes and Lviv Coffee Mine is one of the best. I was told about it and I went there a few times in my time in Lviv, either with friends or alone. It is based on a funny story, that coffee was mined, and the underground cafe is decorated […]

Unbroken

I had the opportunity to visit the National Rehabilitation Center Unbroken, in Lviv. It is a remarkable place. I also got to meet a few of the soldiers who were getting treatment in the centre. The stories of Vadim and Artem, pictured below, were inspirational. They are both incredibly strong. One of them was in […]

Lviv National Opera

Lviv National Opera is one of the most important landmarks in Lviv. It was opened in 1900 and today there are shows multiple times a week. I’ve been to the opera 3 times and it was wonderful each time. The first opera I saw was Don Giovanni, the second one was Carmen, and the third […]
