Theater night in London

Hello from London. It felt natural to be back. After a February filled with Berlinale festival films and other cultural events, March theme is Theater, both English and German.

Bucket list item (read with British accent) was a theatre night in West End, in the City of Westminster, London (with good seats). Theater is a strand of English national culture, next to afternoon tea, pub’s fish and chips, Shakespeare, sarcasm, or the monarchy.

Year in review, 2023 memories

For my retrospective, is not always easy to put in a few paragraphs the results of a year’s work and of personal milestones, of travels, planned events or unexpected moments.

Writing small notes and travel diaries helped me to reflect, remember details of this year, or to hold feelings in my body. I wrote and worked, traveled and volunteered to open my eyes more and grow.

Four Christmas Markets & a Palace

Maybe this sounds familiar, but the year ended with many beautiful German Weihnachtsmärkte and sparkling decorations in Berlin, as a tradition, in anticipation of Christmas. Not just like the movie.

Museum Island, Klimt & Fashion

Berlin mix of the week. This edition is about an exhibition from Vienna, Berlin Fashion Week, a nomad at home, art after work, one island and 5 museums.

One of my favorite and the first place I recommend to anyone heading to Berlin is this Museum island, located in historic Mitte, in the heart of the city. Every. Single. Time.

Athens. Travel report

Every trip is a story. When I say Athens I think of the ancient world, good food, the Acropolis, Greek mythology, modern Olympic Games, beginning of democracy and going on the footsteps of Greece philosophers.

2022 Wanderlust Diary

Memories, emotions and also less happy events from 2022 unfold in my mind. I browse through all to remember the sunset in Portugal, a reunion in Sweden, days in nature and time spend on a Greek island.

I traveled more than I expected. I remember spring days in Brussels and nights in Berlin. The midsummer light in Paris after work and the streets of Vienna before German classes.

Berlin Science Week

I started thinking at my life so far when I was in the Naturkunde Museum, during Berlin Science Week, while surrounded by children (and dinosaurs). Growing up, I did not had the opportunity to attend this type of events.

This November, Berlin Science Week was a 10 days international festival with innovative scientific organizations, a different type of travel experience, and most important, a reminder to stay curios and optimistic.

Wiener Melange

Baroque splendor, Wiener melange as coffee of choice, Gustav Klimt and landmarks in golden Vienna around which I built some of my days. Plus hours with no plan when I just wandered the Viennese streets in a private experience.

From Paris with Art

Art o’clock. Classic and modern art. Not a visit possible in Paris without many croissants, Eiffel Tower views and at least one museum. What I learned about art and time is not a lot, but here it is – c’est ici – Traveling, reading books, never stop learning, speaking French, making time visiting museums, are all investments in myself – that help me see the bigger picture.

The Stockholm Archipelago

Nature and sculptures. Playing with textures, framing the elements of nature in a photograph. Feeling at peace and at home near water. Had all these thoughts going through my Stockholm pictures from the Artipelag.

‘De Madrid al cielo’ mix

Madrid is a city I wanted to visit before the pandemic. Was a journey that took me by surprise – with a mix of Brussels friendship, Flamenco, Passeo de Prado Art Walk, coffee and tapas in Mercados, sunsets, Spanish history and busy streets, as a preview of the days to come.

Amsterdam journal

Most photogenic city in Europe must be Amsterdam. This Dutch city is pretty at every corner with the picture perfect charming houses, over 1000 bridges bridges for 165 canals and world-class museums. I was lucky that I visited the cozy city 4 times during the years I lived in Brussels, so I wrote down from my journal 4 memories.

Modern Art inspired from Romanian mythology and traditions and carved in wood, sandstone and later bronze or marble. From Târgu-Jiu and Bucharest to Paris, via Munich until New York. Every year, on the 19th of February, a tribute is paid to honor the memory of genius artist Constantin Brâncuși, pioneer of abstract sculpture. But the Brâncuși Week starts today.
