Long time, no see! Loads of travels and Brexit is getting me down!

The last time I posted on this blog, I was back from Brussels and in Oxford, travelling to the UN summit in Geneva. Since then a very awful lot of things have happened!! All exciting and very different, sometimes scary.

Longer than a year ago I last posted on this blog, now I am writing from my holiday back home in Romania as a BAM graduate and also employee in a cool tech company in their Barcelona office!! Oh, how life has its funny ways.

So, to have a quick recap, in May 2015 I attend the WHA youth summit I co-chaired in Geneva, I fell in love with Devon in the summer of the same year and had a long time affair with it until December, visiting monthly or more. In the summer I came back to the motherland for a while in July and then back to the UK for the last leg of my degree, and to write my dissertation. The last year had been somewhat lacking in foreign escapes as I was mostly in the UK, going to Devon and sometimes visiting friends in other cities. Understandable, as I was working almost every single day and also studying for my course, as well as being a mother to "adult" children (I love my little babies though!).

Things got interesting in winter as I began applying for graduate opportunities and got through to all of them, including one for the Government!! Imagine that, a little old Romanian chick, with an English degree and PURPLE!! hair being offered so many opportunities in tech (which is the field I love and have a passion for). In January I had a quick escape home to Romania, and came back to take everything full on! Ended up securing a job for the before mentioned awesome tech gaming company in Barcelona and then coming back to an even better offer that will take me to Scotland first.

All good and fast forward to April, I was almost finished with my assignments and university and had a city escape to see my long time love Fanni, my Hungarian friend that I met in Brussels, and that now resides in beautiful Amsterdam! After that, two weeks later it was time to make the move to sunny BCN, and what a move that is! Fast forward another month, and I am back here, in the motherland enjoying 40C, on holiday!

The next month will be crazy and I don't think I might be able to write about it but I am sure that in the future posts I will go into more depth with my current position and work I am doing but also how my journey in the next company will go! Also, I have 10 flights in the next month so next stops: Bucharest, Berlin, Glasgow, London and then Bournemouth!

The sad part is,  BREXIT happened, on the first day of my holiday back home, the news greatly saddens me as I feel that the country that I consider my home of choice does not want me there, or at least half of it. We will see how life goes and what happens but until then maybe it is a good idea to start thinking about getting citizenship.

Until next time, love and light!

10 things I love about summer

Summer  is a lovely time of year,  you have the long days and with a little luck longer, warmer days and sunshine. Why wouldn't one love summer then!? I was contemplating how much I enjoy this season and how busy the days seem to be, of course the British summer isn't as sunny but there are days when it's warm enough and it doesn't rain. Therefore, here are my 10 reasons for loving summer: 1. The feeling of freedom it gives. I know will fade with time because school will end and when you work you don't have 3 months of summer vacation but for now it feels so good to know you have such a lengthy amount of time off every year. 2. The repeating cycle of big changes preceeded by it, every 4 years I start a new chapter in my book, passing from one school to another, from one city to a new one, so I anxiously wait for these rare and random summers. 3. The wonderful hot weather perfect for all those trips and relaxing walks, though it isn't true for all the

Day 17 in Zambia- Chikumbuso again and the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel

Yesterday was an interesting day as I got to go back to Chikumbuso and we went through all the projects identified at the previous visit, therefore, we moved on into making a clear list with items needed and then to assigning who will get the quotes, the project is progressing and hopefully, soon enough we will be able to move forward and start writing the project plan, in order to have it approved by the RI Foundation. I am back at marking essays and it is wearing me out a little, but today I had a more relaxed day as I couldn't make it to Chilenje and had to postpone it for tomorrow. Did go and do some shopping and have a lovely lunch with Sid. We went for the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel as he wanted a burger and they make some pretty darn good ones, as I got a taste of his. I went for a mediterranean lunch with a toasted roasted veg and humous sandwich, that was simply delicious. While we were eating, we sat on the terrace and there was a very nice artificial lake, that had,

Another year has passed, with ups and downs

Funnily enough, seems like spring is a time for reflection. I always seem to come back to my blogging during this time, even though I think about often and miss it. I was looking at buying a typewriter and having a go at more regular diary blogs. That is for another time though. Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened. I will start with the passing of my dad, he aged in a year enough for an entire life and unfortunately left us way too early. He was only 54, I left 3 days after my last post last year, on the 8th April, early in the morning after going to the Easter mass and saying goodbye to him, telling him I would be back in May. A week later on the 16th April, he decided it was time, even before my mom called me, I knew it happened and a sharp pain went through me, even 2000 km away, something broke when he left this physical world and he took away with him. That has been probably the most important event of this year for me. I think about him all the time and I miss
