Three years ago, I moved to the USA with 5 suitcases and the intention to live and work in Washington DC for at least two years. It has been quite the adventure, and even though I was able to extent it with a third year, a great job opportunity is now causing me to move... Continue Reading →
On Passion, Principles and Changing the World
Last weekend, I met a very interesting guy, a philosopher. We connected over a few beers in the pub, and when I walked him home, he offered me another drink at his place.

Tourist in my own city: the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC
It's been almost a year since I wrote a post on this blog and what a year it has been. I hit the one-year-recovery-from-depression mark, landed a job in Washington DC and moved to the USA.

I rediscovered myself, my feelings, my creativity and how much fun life can be. At the end of my therapy, I decided to... Continue Reading →
Weekly Photo Challenge: Love
This week's photo challenge from the Daily Post inspired me to write about the loves of my life. Love comes in many different shapes; from people to animals, from old to new, from far away to close by. Love is always around, but most appreciated in difficult times. For me, it took battling a depression... Continue Reading →
A word a week photo challenge: Round
This week's photo challenge from A word in your ear, made me think of my cat and dog. My cat is a little ball of fur, always sleeping curled up in small spaces. My dog tries to do the same, but he's just to big and bony. He's just not so round.
