Even longer without an update, cannot believe it has been a year and a half from my last post and loads happened!

Last time I posted was about a year and a half ago, the panic with not finding my wallet and passport ended the following Monday, as it was given in at the police station and I managed to get it back.

I spent an amazing month in Glasgow, went to the Edinburgh festival and then followed 6 tiring weeks of training in London, but I got to see one of my very best and old friends that moved to London and was living a couple of streets away. So silver linings and all that :)

Then followed a new start in Bournemouth, a very small and quiet city at the edge of the Atlantic ocean, on the English south coast. I have quickly got accustomed to the life here and I even have a Romanian shop down the corner, for those moments when I miss home too much! There are lots of things to do and beautiful places around the city, including Devon that is only a couple of hours away, so I am very happy where I am, most times. I still get itchy feet and during the past year and a bit probably marked over 10-15 flights.

Work is amazing and I get to learn more and more each day, so very happy, even considering a part time master in computer science, who would have thought! I have had a little tour around Europe in the past year, coming home quite often to Romania, seeing Barcelona again as I missed it a lot, going to Frankfurt to see friends on my way home and then spending my 25th birthday in Venice, in the snow!

I am now writing again from Romania, it seems like I always get my inspiration when I am here, after a couple of days in the mountains, visiting Sibiu and the little villages and castles along the way. I missed home but I feel as if I am missing travelling as well, maybe south of Spain next month before coming back home, and have an itch for Canada and Japan that I need to scratch.

Life is leisurely flowing at it's own pace and I am just trying to keep up with it's rhythm, also the weather isn't helping going from -15C to +25C in a matter of weeks, but oh well, spring is finally here!

Until next time, love and light, and much needed rest!

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
