I have been a bit stressed about upcoming New Year’s Eve. I have never been a big fan of this celebration. I used to feel forced to have fun like you are supposed to party. First time I started seeing this night differently was few years ago when I stayed with my friend Daria in Warsaw. We celebrated with friends and...
This year I don´t feel Christmas at all therefore it´s interesting to watch people around. You might remember my previous article about society´s expectations. Christmas is one to best examples. I know people enjoying this time of the year, but more often I see others getting stressed. And why is that? Is it important? Last year I had...
System of the society. Five working days a week, two days for the weekend. Everybody has to have a job, earn money, pay taxes. It´s almost impossible to have a home without paying high rent or morgage. Every piece of land has an owner. The most important things in our lives have be to allowed to us by...
Have you ever tried to stand at isolated place and scream as much as you can? It used to be on my list “to try” things for really long time, until I told my friend in India and he made me to do it. I haven´t done it again until yesterday. It took 26 days of the...

In past few days I feel like knowing how to do nothing would save my life. I came here to Spain to rest, think about my life and eventually make some plan for my potential future back home. This sounds very simple, but it contains a lot of activities I want to do. Of course I didn´t come so far to...
My heart is broken. I came here to Spain hoping to heal it. My life has been going wrong direction for few months now and it´s time to stop, reflect and think about the future maybe. Or maybe just the present would be enough. I am often so concerned about the future that I forget to feel...
« part 2: Should I change the plan? Final decision It´s Wednesday late afternoon. This was the best day since I started this trip. In the morning I was leaving hotel decided to go to the paid camp 5 km from Modrava, where I would just stay and chill. My feet were still hurting, but after repacking and leaving...
Hello world, it´s me. Veronika, who used to write you letters some time ago. I feel it´s time to come back and write another one again. For those, who don´t know, I am a writer of my own stories. I have written few of them and kept them in my drawer until someone told me to share them. That´s...
« part 1: How long can I go? Scary night After I finished writing, I sneaked into my sleeping bag and fell asleep like a baby. Until what I was afraid of came true. Ignác woke me up growling and barking and before I managed to stop him, he escaped the tent. I heard something which made me think someone else...
