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.

Jordaan

Today I came across some pictures that I completely forgot to share. I took them when me and Peter decided to visit the most beautiful and charming neighbourhood in the whole of Amsterdam - Jordaan.

amsterdam

Few days pass and we feel like locals. We know all those little streets and shortways that most of the people visiting Amsterdam just don't seem to care about. We avoid the centre - it's way to loud. And way to crowdy. So we find ourselves wandering around, breathing Amsterdam's air in and out. And it feels great to be there.

arriving in amsterdam

It's 3am in the morning and we're still half-asleep but it doesn't mean that we're too half-asleep to have a bowl of porridge (of course) to get us going. We're not running late but we get our luggages in a hurry anyway, we don't want things to go bad. 

Driving through Warsaw in the middle of the night feels rather special, even though I despise this city. (kind of harsh for me to say that, I know) We're wondering why this city has a weird atmosphere going on and we agree that's probably because so many people died there during the war. Then we agree that it's probably too early for us to think about those things so we keep silence till we arrive at the station.

It's very warm considering it's only 4am. We're getting more and more excited, we're doing to Amsterdam after all! We arrive at the station, then we take the train to the airport and in no time we're seated in the plane. The flight is fine and as soon as we're above the Netherlands we see all those beautiful fields. It's green everywhere and we're wondering how we'll feel about this country. Neither of us have ever been to Holland.

We land at Eindhoven's airport and it gets to us. The temperature I mean. Considering it was around 25 degrees in Warsaw (in the middle of the night let me add!) - having to get used to 1 degree is a struggle.

I mean, we knew from the beginning that something would go wrong - we've forgotten half of the things that we wanted to take with us. It hasn't even been three weeks till our trip to Denmark so we were still kind of mellow I guess. But hey, wouldn't it be boring if everything always went great? I don't think so.

We have our coffee while waiting for the bus to Amsterdam. The wind blows strongly but we're staying positive. We're looking forward to seeing all those beautiful canals and buildings in one of the most beautiful cities in the whole world.

copenhagen diaries: day three

It's 28th of March and it's our last day in Denmark's capital. We wake up feeling kind of sad knowing that in just few hours we'll be on our way back to Poland. Nevertheless, we put that attitude to the side and with tummies full with delicious porridge made by Vincent we get out to say goodbye to Copenhagen.

copenhagen diaries: day two

It's 10:30 on a cloudy Sunday morning and I've been awake for quite some time now. Boys are still asleep and I'm patiently waiting for them to wake up. In the meantime I'm talking with Vincent, making sure that me and Peter actually get to his place without getting lost every five minutes.

first and second day in luxembourg

  
as tomorrow i'm leaving for berlin to celebrate my birthday with a couple of amazing people it's only fair that i post something about my last trip to luxembourg. that's how my first two days there looked like.

lomo pictures

I've always been into photography. There's just something really cool about making a moment of your life freeze. A moment that you can always come back to, relive over and over again. 

In my opinion photography is enormously important when it comes to travelling. So I try to improve my skills with every trip I take. I'd love to carry my DSLR everywhere with me, but it's just not convenient. And that's why I always have my Diana Mini with me - it's not only small, but it's also real fun!

Anyways, back to what I was saying - lomography. It's just such a fun thing, that film photography. You never know how the picture will come out.

Recently I've developed a film from a while back. The pictures turned out really great I think, mostly because I kinda messed the film up. I soaked it with water, shampoo and a bit of salt and sugar.

Here are the results:
