meeting lana del rey!

 Hi there! So today I'm coming with really exciting news! I met Lana Del Rey a few days ago! It's been one of my biggest dreams and I'm so happy it happend. I launched this blog right after I came back from Berlin where I attended her gig so it all feels so special to me :)

two years passed in no time

 I remember that I started posting on here right after I came back from Berlin in 2014. Me and my friend were attending Lana Del Rey's gig in Spandau and that was when I met Ola for the first time. There's no doubt that music brings people together and that's definitely what has happend. And although we were like 1,5 hrs away from each other we haven't met since that concert until yesterday.

changes, changes

It's been so long since I posted something on here. The truth is, so many things have changed over those couple of months and it wasn't until pretty recently when I started managing everything in my life again.

discovering barcelona pt 1

We were woken up on the 15th of February by the sunshine coming through the window and we instantly knew it was going to be a good day. We headed to Flax&Kale to grab a bite but in the whole excitement we were 30 minutes early so we wandered around the neighbourhood taking pictures.

Hi there! It's been a while, hasn't it? It's all because I'm graduating from highschool in three months (how crazy is that?!) and currently I'm rarely even going out. But guess what? I escaped the horrible Polish winter and piles of school assignments and flew all the way to sunny and pretty as heck Barcelona. Before I share about my trip, I'd like to tell you something more about a great place to grab a bite!

london day 3

 I'm in the middle of having my mock exams at school but I decided to share the rest of the pictures I took in London instead of revising. So here it is, the recap of my last day in the beautiful city that London is.

copenhagen pt2

 On Sunday we decided to take the bikes and visit the shore. The weather didn't disappoint us once again and the views were to die for. I don't have to mention how cool and Danish we felt biking around the neighbourhood wearing all black, right?

The clouds were so picturesque that of course we took haundreds of photos. And look at that clear water! I swear Denmark is the most beautiful country I've ever visited.

 Then we came back home, drank some green tea and then set off for another adventure. We drived all the way to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. And oh my, it was so worth it!

 It was the Yayoi Kusama's exhibition that impressed us the most. When you think about colourful dots you should feel positive vibes, right? Well, it was totally the opposite! It was so strange but the longer we stared at Kusama's work the more stressed we felt.

 On Monday we finally went to KEA as it was the main goal of our trip. We had a tour around the whole building and met the staff. I am so happy that we decided to come all the way to Copenhagen to see it for ourselves. Now I'm actually able to make the decision where to study.

After that we took the bus to the station from where we headed to Malmo. Of course something had to happen and our bus got stopped by the police. Due to the refugees, we had to have our identity checked. And apparently (since a month or so!) you have to have your passport when you travel to Sweden and we only had our IDs so it was pretty stressful but thankfully the policeman let us go as we were heading to the airport. Now I heard that Sweden closed the border with Denmark so it's impossible to get from one country to another. Crazy! I don't think that's the right thing to do but well, let's not discuss that now.

It was a brief but a sweet visit in Copenhagen and I'm looking forward to coming back there soon!

copenhagen pt1

One week ago I went to Copenhagen with a friend of mine. It was great to be able to visit the city during Christmas time as it has a totally different vibe! The weather was surprisingly good, it even hasn't rained at all. On the first evening , after having issues with buying train tickets (damn those ticket machines that take only coins!), we decided to visit Tivoli Gardens. Oh my! It was such a great idea. We have never felt so christmasy in our lives, I think. Sipping on a mulled wine while wandering through those charming gardens was definitely a highlight of the trip. The next morning I met up with Vincent for a brunch and we had a lovely time, talking and eating skyr and other delicious scandinavian foods. After that, I met up with Ola in the city centre, where we went shopping and OF COURSE we went to Groed to have the best porridge in the entire wold. Then we came back and talked till 12am. Great first two days in Denmark, I'd say!

last saturday

It's December and it should be snowing by now but it is not. Actually, the weather has been wonderful recently! So when the sun came out last Saturday, me and my friend went outside to take some pictures. I don't remember the last time I had my photos taken so it was really strange! They turned out quite nice, though ;-)

Life has been pretty hectic those couple of weeks. We had our mock exams and I did pretty well but as usual I feel like I could have done better. It still doesn't get to me that it's December already and the new year is just around the corner. Five more months of school and I am done forever. Well, I am still going to the university, but you know what I mean. It's really frightening as I have no idea what I should do. On Friday I'm flying to Copenhagen to visit KEA and meet with my friends who I met back in March. So that will definitely be a highlight of December. We'll see how it goes! 

And I still have some pictures from London that I haven't shared yet. Will work on that ;-)

It's finally here! Vlog from my recent trip to London. Hope you'll enjoy :)

second day in london in pictures

hi! that's me!

Hi! So that's me in my first ever video that I've put on the Internet. Felt like posting something but due to the lack of time I've decided to record myself talking to a webcam. Quite an interesting experience I'd say! And since I kind of like rambling, videos like that might become a thing over here. Anyway, have a great day! x

london

Of course I couldn't stay away from travelling for too long. That's why, when things at school started to be a little too off putting and when an opportunity to explore London with my good friend Anouk arose, I had nothing else to do but just to pack and set off.

questions

It's been a while since I've written something here. I'm in my final year of high school and as you can imagine, things are pretty hectic right now. September has passed insanely fast. It kind of scares me - knowing that there are only six more months ahead of me before I graduate. Six months to figure out everything for myself. I try not to get overwhelemed by that thought but sometimes it's really hard not to. I've always dreamt of the freedom that graduating gives but when it's finally around the corner I freak the heck out. Should I go to university in Poland or try to fulfil my dreams and go abroad? Denmark, Canada, Great Britain? Where to go? What to do? Maybe I should take a gap year? And will I be able to do the things that actually make me happy? If so, will I be able to sustain myself doing them? I have so many questions but not so many answers. In the times of doubt, I go to a place safe and silent, to a place where I can breath and make myself believe that it actually will be alright. Because it will be alright.

postcard from cracow

I get back home from my summer getaways but for some reason I feel kind of anxious. Travelling as much as I did this year means that it's hard for me to stay still. I can't help it but to daydream about my future trips and this time it's no different. I spend two weeks or so on doing nothing, just winding down and trying to figure things out for myself. Next year I'm graduating and it's so exciting and scary at the same time. And thinking about it consumes most of my thoughts so it's obviously time for me togo somewhere. So when my aunt from Luxembourg invites me to her new place in Cracow I cannot say no. I pack lightly and soon I'm on a train to the most beautiful city in Poland. The weather's nice and so is the apartment I'm staying at. We go out to the restaurants quite a lot and I finally have a breakfast at Charlotte and it's good but I can't stop but think that nothing beats a bowl of porridge in the morning anyway. We wander around, go to some stores but I end up buying nothing. Then we go to an Italian restaurant and I order the best tomato soup I've ever had. (It was so good that I promptly make it at home when I get back.) Few more days of chilling and basking in the sun and I take the train back home. And when I'm actually back I see a picture that two of my favourite British actors are in Cracow and I did not meet them. You can imagine my face when I found out.

two weeks in Luxembourg

After the whole month away I'm back at home! Yay! Well, sort of..

the path

Some pictures I took this morning of the path that I take everyday while I'm in Luxembourg. 

video from up & coming fashion event at peppe parola

Somewhere between Jacob sleeping and playing with imaginary guns (yup, I'm babysitting for the summer) I managed to put some clips from the recent fashion event together.

The event took place at Peppe Parola hair salon here, in Luxembourg.

peppe parola event, luxembourg

Yesterday I attended a fashion event in Luxembourg that was organised by Peppe Parola.

My good friend Anouk invited me and we had so much fun! I got a chance to see new collections of two Luxembourgish designers, hear some traditional music, drink wine and have a nice talk with my friends from here. These girls are so lovely!

gdynia

Recently me and my friend went to Gdynia to attend the biggest music event there is in Poland - Open'er Festival. We went there last year as well but this time it was different. We decided to go to all four days and we had a blast! I'll be sure to write about it soon.

(well, when I get back to Poland from Luxembourg, where I am at the moment)

Before that, I'll post some pictures I took when we were visiting my good friends from Kiev. It's another great thing about traveling - we met during my trip to Amsterdam and decided to meet again, this time in Poland.
