Madrid, Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo

February 21, 2015

"I love everything about Spain - the people, the language, the food!" Karlie Kloss

I do too. My #BFF and I went to visit my good old friend Andy. He always
 told me that I am welcomed to come to visit his place, but I didn't had the chance until a couple of moths ago. Nico asked me where should we go on a holiday, and first thing it came in my mind was Andy.

He is the most lovely and wonderful friend that I have. He spoiled us, he was always sure that we are enjoying our time in Spain, if we slept well, if we were hungry or cold. He even made us the breakfast in the morning. He was calling us his "Princesses", and we call him "Papi" (Spanish word for "Daddy").
Why "Papi"?! Well, because he is a very protective and carrying person, and he wishes everyone to be happy, and I know that, because he is a Libra, just like me.

We visit Madrid, Barcelona, again Madrid and Toledo. He took us
everywhere we want and were he knew that we would like to see. Barcelona was absolutely stunning. I was very impress about Gaudi's masterpiece, the "Sagrada Familia" cathedral, still unfinished. For two days we walked all over the city, we ate ice cream and sea food and we drank champagne. It was unbelievable.

You can visit Toledo in one day. Despite of being a small city (the old capital
 of Spain), it is, until so far, one of my favorite city. I love the small streets where no car can be driven, the "tiendas"(Spanish word for shop store), very fancy arranged. And it has the most amazing views. Everywhere you look, you can see something which takes your breath
 away. So instead of me, boring you with my words, I will let you see for yourself, what I saw in the amazing Spain.

Mommy's little girls
June 24, 2020

When I see my nieces, I see myself and their mother, my sister when we were their age. I remember how much fun we used to have together, the naughty stuff we were doing. We never got bored. I can say that I am lucky to have her as my sister and my best friend in the same time.

Not asking for it
June 10, 2020

The past few days I am reading a lot about unjustified actions of all of us. Black man killed by the policeman in the USA, and a guy in Romania who instigated men to rape young girls. What is the matter with this world?! Why all the hate?! We are the same, no matter the gender, the color, the ethnicity… we are humans and we have to be kind.

Tenerife, Spain - Beach Time in February
May 29, 2020

I always imagined myself on a beach in the middle of winter, with a mojito with a fancy straw and a colored little umbrella, getting a tan while enjoying the sun and the waves as I really don’t like cold or snow. Never thought I will do that someday.

Oh, Paris!

I have visited Paris twice already. Once in 2014 and the second time on my birthday last year, 2019. I can’t get over Paris, I think there is so much to visit and to see. Walking argound the beautiful streets, seeing the people all fashionable, it charges me with a lot of good energy, enrich me with the vibe and makes me feel like I am in a movie.

Seville, Spain
May 13, 2020

I have celebrated my 30th birthday in the beautiful city of Seville, Spain. The City of Flamenco, with its architectural influence blend of Moorish/Arabian and Gothic is absolutely amazing and is bursting with antique charm. I was stunned by the Alcazar Palace with its collage of arhictectural styles, that for a moment I had the feeling I was in Morocco, which I haven’t visited but is on my list.

Last year in November, we went to visit our friend Carmensita to celebrate her younger daughter Sophie. On our way there, we stopped to a bridge that my sister wanted for a long time to see it . She imagined how the session ‘Trash the dress’ would look there and that what we’ve done.
