Jane Austen is one of my all-time favourite authors. Her writing is beautiful and funny, her novels intelligent and observant, and many of her topics are still relevant today. In her works, she somehow managed to wonderfully mix love and devotion with feminism and courage, while describing the manners and customs of the society of that time. It’s interesting that someone who had never had … Continúa leyendo All Jane Austen Novels Ranked
I quite like book series, to be honest. Sure, sometimes it’s like with TV series: it would’ve been better if they left it at the first or second book. At other times, all the books are enjoyable. It also happens that the whole series is pretty crap. 5. Replica by Marilyn Kaye I was obsessed with this series as a young teenager, which makes sense … Continúa leyendo My 5 Favourite Book Series
I guess this post about Berlin will be the last one about travel for a while because I’m running out of things to write about since I can’t do any travelling right now. I’ve been to quite a few places that I haven’t written about, but it was all many years ago, and it would be a bit useless to write about that. This blog … Continúa leyendo What Berlin’s All About
After a lonely week in Saint Petersburg, I was happy to travel to Helsinki. There were several reasons for it: I would see one of my best friends, Tiia, I had never been to Finland before and I’d be back in Europe. I had an amazing time in Russia (especially in Moscow), but I was still looking forward to wandering around European cities again. I … Continúa leyendo Happier Times in Lahti and Helsinki
The backstory Back in February, when travel was still a normal thing to do in Europe and Russia, I visited Saint Petersburg or Piter as Russians usually refer to it. I went there straight from Moscow, and that, I believe, changed how I saw Saint Petersburg in many ways. I spent quite some time in Moscow: six weeks in total. This allowed me to get … Continúa leyendo Solo Travel in Saint Petersburg
This isn’t a detailed post about what you should visit in Moscow. I think that every person is different when it comes to that. Of course, if you go to Moscow, you’ll visit Red Square, but it isn’t necessary for you to go to loads of museums if you prefer parks. And vice versa. This is why I’ll describe what I loved, what I liked … Continúa leyendo The Best (and Worst) of Moscow
Workaway in Moscow I always planned on spending some time in Russia after finishing my master’s. I felt like I studied a language that wasn’t close to me at all and wanted to change that. I graduated in December and started my adventure in January. Workaway Workaway seemed like the right choice because it wasn’t too long and it granted me free accommodation and possibly … Continúa leyendo Moscow, Piter, Helsinki: Workaway + solo travel
This blog post is about the thoughts that occurred in the mind of a Slovenian girl whilst being immersed into the Spanish world for New Year’s Eve, the Three Kings and everything in between. I’ve been to Valencia many times but never during the holiday period. The holidays in Spain begin before Christmas and end on 7th January. I only arrived in Valencia on 29th … Continúa leyendo Becoming Spanish Over the Holidays
My mum and l like going on holiday together; we try to do it once per year. It all started when I was eleven and we went to Lefkada and fell in love with Greece. We’ve visited many other islands since but never really spent much time in continental Greece, never saw the capital. So, this is exactly what we decided to do this year: … Continúa leyendo Athens and Around
Some say it’s ugly, and some say it’s beautiful. I guess that the first group is referring to the surroundings, especially to the part that you see from the road when driving from Slovenia to Trieste. You see factories, lots of old blocks of flats and Cattinara, a hospital that looks kinda creepy. The second group is probably thinking of the centre. They’re referring to … Continúa leyendo A Little Guide to Trieste, Italy
