Pull up a seat (Florence, Italy) – Week 40

I just stumbled upon this photo challenge and I immediately decided to take part in it. The thing is that a seat can be represented by many things. A bench, a coffee shop, a group gathering that sits on the stairs, a child sitting in his mother’s lap. All of these things have meanings because someone gives them a purpose or more than that – a life! Really astonishing theme to photograph. Here are some of my representations taken in the last few weeks.

Am I back again?

Well, I haven’t written here for years. And honestly I am no longer sure I got this, but I think right now, in this stage of my life it is best to give it a go once more. If anyone from my old crew is still reading, hi nice tu see ya again! And for all the newbies welcome, I am rusty but still hope you will like me (my content that is).

What stage of life you could be thinking? Well, where to start?
a) I am currently in the proccess of adapting, renovating and designing my future home (from distance – I’ll explain it later on)
b) I am getting married in less than 2 years, so there’s that
and c) here in the now world and time I am in Italy on the Erasmus programme for 5 months.

Which of those things seem the most interesting to you? You could be nice and leave a comment or I will choose instead of you.
I was thinking about making a whole separate blog site for my Italian experience, but then I really felt nostalgic about those old WordPress blog days.

Yes, I have rambled wayyyyy to long, but the point is – I will try to be more active (like that is hard after years of non-activity) and pick up from where we left.

Untill my next post you can check my About page or any of my old blog posts.
ps. If you look hard enough, there are some pretty embarrasing posts!

Thank you and see you!

Munich trip in photos – Christmas on Small Town Blogger

As the month of December is coming up, so are the various advent seasons in cities all around Europe. Since I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to go to Germany, I guess I can bring you some of the Christmas feelings from Munich in photos.

 

Pep shopping centre. Well, first of all, this was the first time I saw a Christmas tree made up solely from ornaments, so that was cool. And also, Primark! Yes, did some damage there…

English Garden with the Chinese tower was the first Christmas market kind of thing we visited. Took a lot of photos there, here are just a few that give the vibe of the place, I especially loved the old carousel, therefore my dramatic looking photo. Also, we (my boyfriend and I) ate chocolate covered grapes, weird but nice combo. 

Marienplatz is the central square of Munich, so the centre od their Christmas market and the heart of turist sightseeing tours. All of that comes to form a very crowded place where taking a photo is very difficult, but when you are determined to make your boyriend suffer until at least one good photo is made you come up with some usable photage. Thank you 😉 

Odeonsplatz is another big square in Munich, just a few minutes walking away from Marienplatz, but surely a lot less crowded, heaven for taking photos. Also, it is close to a Starbucks where we got a winter special in their cute Christmas cups. 

Well, going to an all you can eat Asian restaurant isn’t really a Christmasy and/or a bavarian thing to do, but it certainly is fitting after a day of endless walks over the town and into several public transport choices Munich has to offer. Sushi and seafood certainly are my comfort food, whereas my boyfriend was more set on “real” meat. 

Yes, that’s all. A quick where have I been update thourgh photos. Next Christmas post coming up Thursday or Friday, until then check out my insta for more of my content.

Christmas on Small Town Blogger

Not going to apologize about being absent, I was actually more focused on my Instagram page so it is not like I haven’t been doing anything. But it comes a time when my fingertips miss the feeling of tapping onto a keyboard, so I have come back to do my annual Christmas season posts. I actually have no idea what am I going to write about, except a travel post about my weekend in Munich where I experienced their kind of advent, a possible haul from Munich and a review of advent in Zagreb (as I did last year). If you have any suggestions be free to send them!

The Munich travel post will be out this weekend, so either tomorrow or the day after, so stay tuned!
