January 2025

I imagined that I will start this post by talking about Ukraine and the 2-weeks trip I had planned. Sadly, someone in the family died, so, in this post, I talk about our stay in Romania. I already posted beautiful pictures with Bucharest, our experience as vegans, and I shared the rather unusual features of […]

Otopeni Airport

Otopeni Airport

This post is on Otopeni Airport, the main airport in Bucharest. I didn’t take pictures of the airport because the border guards would have been unhappy. Just seeing us walking slowly in the train station and taking pictures of it was enough to put us in the “random ID checks” situation. While others might be […]

Hanul lui Manuc

Vegan in Romania

I haven’t been to Romania for a very long time and I didn’t know what to expect, in relation to food. I talked about vegan options with friends and family, but it was not clear how many options we had, as tourists in a way. The people I chatted about food prepared many of the […]

Walk through Bucharest

My post for today, walk through Bucharest, is full of pictures and a few short descriptions. All the buildings pictured are important, either historically or politically or both. I’ve spent under 2 days in Bucharest, so all are from the city centre, due to the time limitations. This is the Bucharest North train station. CFR, […]

Goals for 2025

As usual, at the beginning of the year, I am making a list of goals, which are very similar to the ones in the previous year, but I still want to make it and continue to try to achieve all the goals. I will keep the 2 goals I never seem to make – sewing […]

Goals for 2024. How I did.

This is a short round-up of my goals for 2024 and if I have achieved them. I had a previous post on highlights of 2024, but that was a different kind of post, of reflection. I achieved most of the goals for 2024 and I’m happy about that. It seems that by now I have […]

2024

My 2024. Highlights

My 2024: Highlights is a short round-up of the last year. I shared only 4 pictures from each month. 2024 was a busy year, with me spending almost 2 months in Ukraine (over 3 trips) and 3 weeks in France. Besides living in Oxford for my Master’s. In January we went to see La Traviata […]
