Lisbon, Portugal

April 30, 2020

One year ago, I visited Lisbon. I found the photos and I thought to write my impression about this amazing city.

This city break was a gift from my family and friends on my 30th birthday, so yeah I had the best present ever as I love to travel. On 27th of January, after my sister gave birth to my second beautiful niece, I flew to Lisbon. I felt in love with this city, which has art everywhere you go. From the little streets, where only two people can go, to the big and crowded streets with all the fashion designer stores, this city has it all.

From the airport, me and my friend took the subway which looks just like the one in Paris. The station was empty on a Sunday morning, the same were the streets to the hotel and we were wondering were all the people went?! :D We found out later how their Sundays look like, a casual and cosy day.

We decided to walk to the town centre cause the weather was so beautiful. I saw people all tucked up with scarves and gloves, and I thought I was the crazy lady in a t-shirt and a jumper. We have visited the Castle of S. Jorge which I definately recommend it because you can see the view of the city... and wooow, what a view. We have also seen the peackocks with their beautiful feathers.

I really enjoyed Pastel de Bacalhau from Casa Portuguesa which was amazing, is made of some sort of fish with salt in a type of pastry, delicious... and I am not easily impressed :D

Three days are not enough to see this beautiful city and I definitely want to go again, but till next time hope you will enjoy my photos :)

New Born Session - Little Lucian

When I met Natalia, Lucian‘s mother, I was so impressed about her positive vibe and strenght personality. You meet someone and think that, that woman has everything, but no one knows what she’ve been through and belive me she has been through a lot.

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!
May 20, 2020

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.

Geierlay, Suspension Bridge
April 1, 2020

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.
