This article was supposed to be called “How I ran a half-marathon”. And I did, but not long after that, I realized that that’s not what it was all about. I mean, it was, at first – I did have it on my bucket list. But truly, if anything, it was more about getting intoContinue reading “How I (-ran a half-marathon-) befriended running”

Get off the ferris wheel.
What time is it? – Am I late again? What’s for breakfast? Go, go, go… damn the freaking traffic! Ugh, the boss wants to see me, I must have done something wrong. Oh hi! – Can’t wait to hear all about her new stuff and perfect kids… When is the lunch break? How the hellContinue reading “Get off the ferris wheel.”
Open-Air
To sleep under the open sky, to cowboy camp, to free camp. I don’t really know what it’s called, all I know is that it hits differently. Falling asleep to the crickets chirping while watching the infinite number of shiny dots. Waking up to the songs of birds, buzzes of bees, the smell of fresh air andContinue reading “Open-Air”
Social detox getting social
I wasn’t planning on writing about this trip. Not that it would be as bad, or that nothing special would happen there (it was actually quite the opposite) but I didn’t post or talk about it much either. It was one of those trips that I do to feel ok or to feel better. ToContinue reading “Social detox getting social”
Covid’s silver lining
The crazy disease is spreading. Person to person, country to country. Masks cover everyone’s face. Stores and schools are closing down. Now you can’t leave the house at certain hours. News full of terrifying and scary info. How many people died today? People can’t stand each other (or themselves?). Nobody cares about a UFO, comeContinue reading “Covid’s silver lining”
I’m off – end of the chapter
Moving out can be fun. But it doesn’t have to be. It is exciting when you find a new apartment you’re thrilled to move into. But when you’re being kicked out, that’s a different story. There is a whole range of cases in between these two. And now, I am somewhere on that scale too.Continue reading “I’m off – end of the chapter”
Solo not Solo
Solo traveling is a thing nowadays. All these Solo-Travel Facebook groups and Female-Solo-Travel Instagram accounts are getting more and more popular. I guess it goes hand in hand with feminism. This may be a way for girls to show how independent they are, that they can do stuff on their own. And I support that.Continue reading “Solo not Solo”
A bit more time with Portuguese
Corona has been rambling around over the last few months. But we made it to the end of the school year and the next one is about to come. School often means a routine. And routine has always been hard for me to stand. So, before the semester begins, I knew I needed to cross the bordersContinue reading “A bit more time with Portuguese”
The rhythm of my life
My life sounds like a heartbeat. I know what you think… “Cliché”, “thank you, next”… But there is more into this statement than you may think, let me explain and then you can decide if it really is such a cliché. The first reason is obvious. Life is defined by a beating heart. If you’re lyingContinue reading “The rhythm of my life”
Travel Fever
How do you feel when you travel? In my case, it really depends on the destination, people around and just the overall circumstances. But I have to say that most of the time, there is something all my travels have in common. Preparations There is this phase before every single trip when most of theContinue reading “Travel Fever”
