Hello beautiful souls,

as the year is ending, - like a lot of you - I also feel like I need to review my year.

It's like almost a tradition for me to check my best nine, so I can see my most memorable moments.

This year was a real roller coaster. Sometimes I felt like I'm at the top of everything and other times I was so depressed I couldn't even leave the house.

I lost someone.

People, that I defined as friends - left me.

My heart was broken two times this year. I have no idea how, but I managed to survive the crying days, the panic attacks - and you.

I was so miserable of a heartbreak, that I couldn't eat for days, I throw up for a whole day and I almost burned down my hair.

I realised the worst thing you can say to someone is that you never want to see them again.

I had the worst migraines. The last one lasted for two days - ended the last day of 2018 (what a strange way to end the year).

Unfortunately from this year I'm unable to take any medicin - I would say you not helped me with that.

I can't learn it, but I try so hard to realise, that it's not my job to save people from themselves or from the bad circumstances. 

I got back my passion for writing, reading and traveling.
My short novel was actually published in a physical book.
I've many exhibition and event ideas.

I visited a couple of countries - I traveled alone for the first time.

I started yoga again.

I colored my hair, so I've a little blue and purple in it.

I started to live alone - and I couldn't love it more.

I went to many cultural events, fell in love with the different ways of art again.
Had a difficult love relationship with water again - yeah, still can't swim - but saw the most beautiful sunset at the sea - fell in love with Balaton (lake in Hungary) even more if it's possible - spent a lot of time next to the Danube and went to baths without the bikini body.

And I had so many really, really happy moments.

I was blushing a lot.

I was smiling a lot - sometimes I couldn't even stop smiling - how much I loved to be happy.

2019 - I have no idea how we will get along but I promise I will try my best.

With love from B ♥

Dear Readers,

I've no idea, when was the last time I called you readers (maybe never?) but that shows how everything is changing here.

This year bought already many good and bad things in my life, but the most important thing is my travel bucketlist. Yes, as the year started I wrote down my dream destinations - you can check my last post about my goals here. 

12 countries is the dream... okay 12 different cities - I would not be that sad if some of them would be in the same country. So far I visited Venice in Italy, Amsterdam in Netherlands and will visit Croatia in the end of March.

So let's see a little article my Amsterdam experience. 

As a countryside girl I'm not afraid of hostels and cheap solutions, so I went almost with the cheapest ones. I travelled with Flixbus - almost a day bus time there but was actually almost enjoyable and I stayed in a hostel called Princess at the Overtoom street. If you are a queen or king of cleaning, please don't go there . The room I stayed was okay and I had luck with my 3 roommates, the receptionist guy was also nice and helpful, it's definitely okay when you just going to sleep there

Getting lost, seriously, as soon I left the bus I got lost, I basically planned it, so no freak out time, I walked on streets where was noone outside - no sign of any tourists - that's how you get to know a city. 

Walking is the cheapest and nicest way to explore. I did not use any public transport - I was like 30 minutes walk from the center.

• What I drink/eat?

Let's just say I don't want to see any waffels in the nearest future :D Basically eat and drink what dutch people are having - at least what other people think they have.

• Other tips?

Talk to strangers, help them to have a perfect picture if they are having doubt with the selfie game.

Free walking tours - absolutely recommending this one - I did mine with Lennart - here is some info about the tour. In this way you get to hear some city stories from insiders - that's how I know how many bicycles are in the canals of Amsterdam or how dutch people are thinking about some important things.

Travel more, open your heart 'til you find that city, country which you can call your home.
