Dinner time #1 Tortillas rolls with chicken


I love to put some kind of traditions in my daily life. For example like last semester with one of my best friends we always had sushi for lunch at Thursdays, with other one coffee - tea time before lectures or I made pancakes on Sundays then I was at home for my brother. It helps to keep friends or family member together and find some time for talks in such a big routine we made for ourselves with all that rush and million stuff to do. So it is one of the things that is really important to manage. Now I am in a part of life where I travel a lot and change a lot of places to live in and when u live life like this you need to make some traditions in your new routine that u can feel like at home sometimes even if u do not have your friends and family close to you. So one of the most important thing I always do when I am in new place where I stay not just for holidays is new traditions. And while I am here in Spain now for my ERASMUS I decided to make some traditions too which involves my new friends from all over the world. Its been one month while I am here so it is about the time to do that. I decided that once in a week I will do dinner for friend or company of friends or just will let myself to be invited to a dinner and to dinners preparation process to see theirs kitchen and how they cook (it is a note to my dear ERASMUS friends - to invite me sometimes - i know it is a bit tricky with my eating habits but u need use imagination).  When u see person in more casual atmosphere u can get to know him better.

Dinner time with friend from Italy at my new home in Alicante

So this time it was some healthy dinner for girl from Italy who I found myself to be really good friends now. Good to have her here. I fell lucky. I really enjoy time to be with her so she was the lucky number one for my dinner. I am joking for sure about lucky part for her. She needs to say how it was. Hope I did not fail on this.For me it was delicious.

right time




The last day of winter and it is raining here.  And in the bed with warm blanket you find yourself so comfortable and safe.  I just can go to make one more cup of my pepper mint tea and think about all things I want to do and to say.
It is maybe the best time to start blog on these kinds of days. Or in my case it is the best time for the first post in there.
It is enough blog to take inspiration from. U can take ideas and enjoy nice pictures from all over the world in any kind of subject. But I found myself that I want to share my thoughts and discoveries and maybe some failures with you too.
For me the hardest part is to start. All thought about what is really important to say, how to impress or what is the aim of all what u going to present. And put all you think it is right to say in the sheet.
Maybe the right way is not to say all things because u don’t need to do that. Nobody asks you to do it too.  With your lifestyle blog you are free to write and do whatever u want. So what is the point?  
It is just the first post, for me I made some “first posts” before in other blogs which I started and did not continue anymore.  U all can ask why. But it is just because I am still looking for the way how I want to express myself and if I need blog for that. In my minds I always like writing some posts and making pictures for not existent blog, think how I can put it downs on the blog and etc.  I think I made some really good posts in my mind for sure. But then it comes to do that I become lazy a little. Or maybe lazy is not that right word for my emotional stand on finally doing it often.  It is more about being perfect in all you do.
 I see a vision of this blog now and I really want to do it in this way. It will contain all part of my life – all I am interested to tell or discuss with you, all I want to show or to write that might be helpful in your daily life to make it better with my own examples. I want to gain more experiences and meet more interesting people and show this part in this blog too.
So let’s do it.
Enjoy my little moments.
