Postcards from Fuerteventura

UncategorizedNovember 27, 2025November 27, 2025

Knock, knock. Does anyone read blogs anymore? Does anyone write blogs anymore? There’s a certain nostalgia for the days when blogging was one of the most active, living, breathing, thriving creative mediums on the internet. So here we are, after I caught myself — yet again — working overtime to get through an ever-growing to-do […]

En el Corazón de Madrid

UncategorizedJuly 19, 2024July 19, 2024

A perfect job and a dream life – two commonly used yet rarely experienced concepts. Rightly so. There’s no recipe or a set list of ingredients to follow. The world we live in is vibrant, volatile, even violent at times. Instead, there are moments of perfection, achievements to look forward to. For instance, unexpected opportunities […]

Fluffy apple and cinnamon pancakes (Vegan)

UncategorizedNovember 6, 2021November 6, 2021

Rainy days are best spent eating comfort food – and nothing says ‘cosy’ quite like warm and fluffy pancakes with cinnamon. The batter does take slightly longer to make than regular pancakes, however, you can make it in the evening and enjoy fresh in the morning. Before we jump to the ingredients, let’s briefly recap […]

Conversations with London

UncategorizedOctober 10, 2021October 11, 2021

Writing a novel seems simple – starting a chapter, braiding words into itinerant sentences, following the string guiding you towards the conclusion. In real life, this knowledge of natural story flow does not make creating memories any less bittersweet. Thoughts wander the same road each time there is a turning point in my life and […]

Time In: Lockdown-Friendly Activities

UncategorizedFebruary 2, 2021

It has been almost a year since the word corona stopped bringing back Spanish sun coloured memories. Grains of seashore sand spinning between the toes drowsy from dancing until the sunrise. Now replaced with numbers and melted bridges. Shifting and rearranging reality past the point of no return. To whatever the word normal used to […]

Route Twenty-Twenty: A Story of London

UncategorizedDecember 24, 2020March 29, 2021

This was supposed to be a good day. The slow pace and winter soundtrack. This was supposed to be a good week. The scent of freshly lit handmade candles and soft bite of cinnamon cookies. This was supposed to be a good month. A light touch of the first snowflakes and piano blues. This was […]

The Dynamics of Stillness Vol. 2

UncategorizedNovember 8, 2020November 8, 2020

Wednesday night. After one of the most intense days in 2020, I’m watching Lithuanian highway lights passing by, asking myself how did I end up here. When it comes to decision making, mine could be described as quick but rarely impulsive. It must feel right. This one was no exception. Back in March, when the […]

Ten simple ways to reduce your waste

UncategorizedAugust 23, 2020August 31, 2020

Throughout the week, I share approximately 10% of everything I do on social media. How do I know that? I assigned a numeric value to my activities and compared against what I posted to establish what I want to share more (or less) off. Data and statistics play a key role where I currently work […]

Not all of us can get that perfect shot from the first try. Sometimes it takes hours, sometimes you have to chase it for years. Let’s be realistic, with the exception of professional and aspiring photographers, nobody has time for that. Good news is that it can be easily fixed. There are plenty of free […]

The Dynamics of Stillness

UncategorizedMarch 28, 2020March 28, 2020

Welcome to the Lockdownland. The world has stopped but the life very much goes on. I must admit when I asked whether people would prefer a blog post about current events / life update or something completely unrelated I was surprised that the majority voted for current events. At the same time, I guess it’s […]
