How I feel now
Today, I came home after spending three months in Madrid. I came home to spend Christmas with my family and my old friends, who were waiting for me, who missed me and who wanted to see me. I did want to see them too. Though when I landed on the airport in Warsaw, I felt...

Why am I here...
I am not a religious person, and although I do believe in God, or rather some divine, inexplicable force that guides us and that we call God, I do not follow any religion in particular. I do firmly believe in something else though: destiny. Destiny, intuition and karma....

New Year's Eve in London (Part I)
I am lucky to have a very close friend who lives in London now. Her name is Emily and we’ve been friends for like 8 years now. Before she went there, we had a huge fight. We stopped talking to each other for a few months, and then she called me one day, from her...

So finally, I came back to Madrid, after a series of some problematic events that happened to me during my trip that made me change my mind officially: I hate travelling. Ok, let me rephrase: I love travelling, I just hate flying. Or any other form of getting to the...

Templo de Debod
So, yesterday I discovered a new place in Madrid. I didn't think I could discover anything else here - I actually thought I have seen everything there is to see. But it turns out that I forgot about one place. I remembered about it when I saw some of my friends' photos...

Yesterday I went out with my flatmate to eat out in the city all together and have a few beers. My Italian friend proposed we should go to El Tigre and we all happily listened to him, as he was already living here in Madrid while he was doing his own Erasmus 7 years...

My birthday
We have already somehow established a tradition in our class that whenever it is somebody’s birthday, we would each give 2 euros to the class “birthday president”, who will then go and buy some sodas, plates and cakes with the help of two or three volunteers and...

Last days
I miss Madrid. It’s been only two weeks since I moved out. It’s not as hard as it would be if I was now in my home country, in my parent’s house, back to reality. Luckily for me, I am still living my experience abroad, and hopefully it will stay this way for a...
