Hello Bulgaria

After a couple of hours packing on Friday evening, a late night on one of Amsterdam's beautiful canals, and an almost 3 hour flight yesterday morning, I have arrived to Bulgaria.

Tomorrow I will be going to the seaside, which I am obviously excited about.
Besides enjoying the beach, nice food, and cocktails, I am finally going to be able to wear my summer clothes which have been impatiently waiting in my closet to be taken out and admired.

Packing, however, is always a tricky business. I am not a fan of traveling with a lot of luggage, so I get annoyed if my stuff does not fit in one suitcase.

I usually travel with a soft Samsonite suitcase that can be also carried as a backpack. It is ideal for any type of vacation, as you can take it as hand luggage, but is is also big enough to be filled with all your vacation purchases, and be checked in on your way back.

This time, however, it did not take too long for me to realize that I cannot fit everything in that suitcase. I wanted to take as many pretty summer clothes with me as I could...

Tough decision on which ones to take

And now all of it must fit into the suitcase

Tardy summer in Amsterdam

Though summer has officially started a while ago, Amsterdam was not blessed with great sunny weather. Thunderstorms and rain...17 degrees...not my idea of summer.

After procrastinating for about a 2 weeks, I booked a flight to Bulgaria. So tomorrow it is going to be "Goodbye Amsterdam, and hello summer in Bulgaria!"

Though the weather in Amsterdam should be better in the coming week (think spring and 20 degrees), I am looking forward to sizzling on the beach and getting some tan.

Hello there blogging world!

Every once in a while when I am just laying in bed or sitting on my couch watching random series that I do not find particularly interesting, but I "have nothing better to do", I think to myself that I should find something better to do with my free time.

As I like trying out new things, I started flirting with the idea to follow the lead of some very creative people that I know and get a little bit acquainted with the world of blogging. After some research, I decided to follow my strong general belief that there is no better way to learn things than to actually do them. So in the spirit of "practice beats theory", here is my first post.

Here's a picture of me from summer 2011. It was taken on a beach in Bulgaria, where I hope to be tanning in less than a week :)
