• Metallic Chair

  

  A little something I wrote while waiting for my flight in Heathrow, London which perhaps many of you experienced before. Especially now because of COVID. No matter a person’s personality, or dreams, and hopes, a journey to another place is always thrilling. For many people, flights can be scary yet, everyone gets an exhilarating feeling…

• Noise

  

  While sitting quietly in your car and patiently waiting for the green light, your mind can travel to a thousand places. But most likely, you’re thinking, “How did this end up to be my life?”. In the background, you can hear the radio’s soft music, and gradually you start wondering and observing your surroundings. The…

• Wind

  

  So, what if dreams are only but a fantasy? The truth of life is only an illusion that can easily break with one breath, just like a cold breeze on a warm summer day. You lay on the beach embracing the warmth of the sand, and while you immerse yourself in the sound of the…

• Solo travelling

  

  From a young age, I have been a very independent person. In my childhood, I would often participate in various extracurricular activities, and one of them was being a scout. At the age of seven, I went on my first trip away from my parents for a whole week. We went camping in the mountains.…

• A Journey through English

  For those whose first language is not English, I’m sure you all remember the very first time you had to speak in English. It feels weird, and it’s as if you are becoming a completely different person. Mind you that happens with every new language you learn. But since English is the international language, it’s…

• Perfect match

  

  Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life and until today no matter what I do, I love having music on the background. I think it always helps me keep my mind occupied and at the same time to concentrate. Of course it’s not only about the music, it’s…

• Being a petite woman

  We are almost halfway to the end of the first month of 2020, and just three days ago, I finally moved back to the United Kingdom. It was not my first time moving to another country, but it was my first time moving by myself without any help. I admit my life has been a…

• The power of words

  

  When you’re travelling, you often encounter strangers that, with their stories, give you power. But only recently did I feel the real power of communication and speech. In the summer of 2019, I had the chance to participate in a volunteering project as a leader. Being responsible for a team that consisted of people from…

• Christmas Dinner

  

  Have you ever been invited to a Christmas dinner and thought, “Why am I here?”. Well, I have. While I was in the United Kingdom, my friend had somehow become good friends with an elderly lady who sat next to her on the train. She was a free-spirited lady with an outgoing personality and open-minded.…

• Dreaming Again

  

  While on the road, I often encountered people who, in one way or another, were working hard towards their dreams. Though one would wonder, what dreams really are. Dreams can have several definitions and synonyms. People no matter where they are from, what their occupation is or what their status is, they always dream of…

• Being Anonymous

  

  When traveling, you often get to see sights of considerable significance to the country. You get to learn about remarkable people that, in their own way, brought glory to their country. But I have to say, being anonymous sometimes feels more glorious than being someone. As a traveller, I often seize the joy and beauty…

• The struggles of an introvert

  

  In general, there are two types of people, attention seekers, and attention avoiders. I’ve always been part of the latter. I was always content being in the background and having a supporting role. As an introvert, I love having a simple life, and I don’t need much to be satisfied. Although even if I do…

• Dream. Explore. Discover.

  

  People often move abroad for educational, economic, or political reasons. Indeed, living abroad gives great opportunities both in daily and professional life. But today, I would like to explore the opportunities we gain from living abroad regarding discovering and learning. Currently, I live in the Czech Republic, and I have to say that it is…

• Happiness is the key

  

  A smile can be a powerful tool. Although it’s an asset for happiness, it can also bring forward sadness, anger, or embarrassment. Globalization indeed created a world that often has no borders. Friendships and relationships now can easily be found everywhere because of mutual understanding. But often, there are moments of misunderstandings or awkwardness because…

• Expect the unexpected

  

  When travelling, we often face surprising situations. During my time in China, unexpectedly, my friend was required to go back to her work. She was needed as a translator for a guest from a Belgian company. And somehow, I ended up pretending to be a businesswoman. For three days, I was following my friend and…

• Snowfall

  

  Travelling is all about experiencing new things. Cultures, customs, traditions, food, and lifestyle. In my case, during my first visit to Budapest, I got to experience winter.  Like everyone else, I associate snow with Christmas, Santa Claus, reindeers, decorative lights, and fresh-baked cookies. But during my time in Budapest in mid-January 2017, I got to…
