The Paris Catacombs

The Paris Catacombs

I saw the Paris Catacombs on a friend’s Instagram story. He went to Paris and stopped at the Catacombs. From that moment I knew that the Catacombs would be one of the first things I am going to see in Paris. It is a very popular tourist attraction, so I highly suggest buying tickets in […]

Centre Pompidou

Centre Pompidou

I wanted to visit the Centre Pompidou in Paris to see Brâncuși’s studio. The studio was closed, unfortunately, and there was no mention of this on their website. Constantin Brâncuși was a Romanian artist who lived in Paris for over 50 years, until his death in 1957. In his will, Brâncuși left his studio to […]

Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower

Eiffel Tower is iconic and a must-see in Paris. Why is it so important I can’t understand, but I went to see it. I can’t say that I “got it” after seeing it. I think there are many more important landmarks of Paris that Eiffel Tower, built for advertising in the 1889 World’s Fair. There […]

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 […]

September 2024

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. […]
