The Breeze, The Trees, The Honey Bees – All Volunteers!

I have aged a few years with the stress level I just experienced, but I made it on this early flight back home! Please Sofia Airport, don’t just open two check in desks for 3 fully booked flights… It’s been a weird week, with reunions but of course also a lot of goodbyes. On Wednesday…

Connecting With Nature

Together with Rūta, I am in Veliki Preslav today, waiting for our board game to be printed. Not only have we been in a professional recording studio, we can now also check a photo studio of the list! After our busy events, we had one more event on Friday morning. The museum we work for…

Local Celebrities

The weekend is almost upon us, and with some adventures planned, here is what adventures have already happened! Tuesday was another day at Missionis, and we are making quite some progress. I had a meeting planned in the afternoon with Miena, our local mentor. We met at this cute cafe for a drink and some…

We’re Going on a Treasure Hunt

We’re a week in, and Targovishte does not disappoint. The 5 of us are living together in a rather big flat, and after hearing stories of the others, we are quite lucky with our living conditions! Our first day started at the museum, with the 11 volunteers here in Targovishte. It was a 10 minute…

Discovering Cultures

I just said goodbye to Sofia and hello to Targovisthe, let me fill in the gaps! I arrived in Sofia on Sunday quite late, so it was just a quick trip to the hotel, where I could enjoy a big ass room just by myself. I mean, there is nothing wrong with sharing rooms, but…

Constant State of Sweat

I made it to Sofia! Well, almost, just a few more hours on this (at least) 9,5 hour train ride. Yeah, I think I’m cured of travelling by train for now, these take way too long. I really have to take a good look of what I told you guys last, all these days and…

Setting Boundaries and Crossing Borders

While I’m waiting for my laundry to finish, old school in a laundromat, I think it’s a good time to catch up! When I woke up on Thursday, after getting woken up by my lovely roommates, I found out there was a new guy in our room. Sai and I started chatting while I was…

Sitting and Waiting

Chilling in the Wombat Hostel Cafe, sipping on my Elderflower lemonade, I’m waiting for the rain which is about to fall down on Munich. This is my first stop of my interrailing journey towards Sofia, Bulgaria, where my new volunteering adventure will start. No worries, I won’t be away again for months and months, the…

On Y Va

It’s waiting time again. Together with a fully packed Gare du Nord, we’re looking at the boards to see where our trains are departing from. I waved goodbye to Nella and Mila yesterday, they left a day earlier than I. I picked them up from this same train station just a few days ago, Thursday…

A Cold Did Bother Me Anyway

It’s weekly catch up time! Okay, it is a little over a week, sorry. But yes, I’m still in Paris and still alive, although I did go to the empire of the dead… So, I did some more self guided walking tours. The sun is finally showing it self, and spring is definitely here! After…
