As I spoke with Turkish citizens living close to this place, not all of them knew of this village’s existence. It seems I don’t know everything that surrounds my home town in Poland either. There I was on my first volunteer project through the Erasmus+ program, with the amazing organization, which is focusing on environment … More Visiting Kazanli – village on the Mediterranean Sea

Fun fact: you want to go somewhere in the city, but you think it is so far, so you keep postponing a trip. But when you finally GO there, you are like, “what`s the hell, it wasn`t so far actually”. My example of this is Eymir Lake. So, I chose one cloudy day, took a … More Go to Eymir Lake
I’d only heard stories of Istanbul’s splendor and how it’s a city where you can find a spot for anything. But, at long last, I was able to view this place for myself.

Expats, students, locals. And what is more, I found myself here. I … More Home, birthday, life moves on

I have a bit of a history with this language. At uni, I had a chance to study Turkish, but I chose German instead. When I traveled to Turkey, I learned basic phrases like “Merhaba”, “Ne kadar?” and so on. But I didn`t know even the numbers. Before coming back for the long term, I used a … More Why I don`t speak Turkish?
I know it’s only mid-winter but to be honest I already miss the sun and warm breeze of wind. From what I heard locals say that this winter is very kind, I mean not that feisty like before. I can agree. Of course, I have nothing to compare to though I can compare to my … More Don’t Miss Out On Life
