Disney didn’t teach me to wait for my blue prince. It encoraged me to seek for adventure

Mexico After a Year and Half

Some months ago I decided to go to Mexico after an unfortunate event destroyed my plans to travel across the nordic and baltic countries. It was a good opportunity to visit my family and friends and so, on July 13 I went to Mexico.

The flight was boring, the movies to watch were bad and bleh. It's funny, when I left Belgrade, everything was green as you can see in the picture. When I arrived to Mexico, everything was grey!

Bye bye Belgrade!

Montenegro - Kotor & Podgorica

I wrote this entry 3 weeks ago and forgot to post it! Anyway, now I'm totally fine, my heart even got a little bit hurt again by someone else, but just a tiny bit hahaha Sooo, I went to Montenegro on April 29 for 3 days.

First I want to write a little bit of context. The last two months were kind of hard since everything ended with Jarno. I was starting to feel better, but inside me I knew that if he came telling me that he loved me, I'd leave everything for him. Well, a couple of weeks ago something happened, I'm not going to say what, but the sadness became anger and it wasn't until I started to hate him that I actually started to heal. When I decided that even if he came back I was going to say no, I started to truly forget and decided that it was time to stop spending my entire life watching series and movies.

The last thing he told me was: “Hang in there, better days will come.” But then I realized he was completely wrong. Better days don't come, I make them, and they are happening now! I mean, I'm in Serbia with so many possibilities in front of me. I decided to start living again and do that thing which gives meaning to my life, to travel. I made an important decision in my life, but this is not the time to talk about that. I have so many awesome plans for this year and I'm sure it'll be awesome.

So, with this change and taking advantage of the free day I had in faculty, I decided to go to Montenegro. My plan was to spend two days in Kotor and one in Podgorica. I took my last dinars to buy the train ticket and I found 50 euros that I had left from my trip to Italy.

Venezia, Verona e la Pizza

Since my heart is broken I was thinking in ways to feel better. One of them was having a one night stand but then I decided that it was a stupid idea and choosed something better instead soooo, I spent one weekend in Italy! Sure, it sounds better than it was, before reading the story let's just say it was a weekend to remember.

For such a short trip it was full of mistakes. First of all it was with a tour company, which means. They choose the hotel, activities, times, transport, etc... I have always despised traveling like that because you have no freedon to do whatever you want. The second mistake was the time, the weather hasn't been good. And yeah, those 2, but it's more than enough with the tour company.

Finland

And I’ve been back in Serbia since about one week ago. It’ been a weird week, and it was a weirder month. I went to Finland at the end of January. I didn’t write about it but Jarno  Jernström went to Serbia in December. It was a bittersweet visit full of drama but also lovely moments; I’d like to think that more lovely moments than bad ones. Anyway, on January 22 I took the train to Budapest and on 23 for the first time I didn’t have problems with my flight ticket and I could go to Finland without any problem.

I spent almost the whole month indoors, It was cold, expensive, I didn’t know anyone, he had to work a lot and I had to study for my exams so, I went out 3 times during February. One to Hellocon, another to a bar and the last one to Heureka museum (It’s something like Papalote museo del niño in Mexico).

Innocent World Tea Party in Vienna

On October 12 was held the Innocent World Tea Party in Vienna. Tickets were sold months ago and they were sold out in minutes! I was really lucky to get one. Since at that time there was no paypal in Serbia, it was painful to make the payment, but thanks to my family and friends in Mexico, I was able to pay ^^

The day came and I woke up super early to take my plane. I arrived some hours later and ran to the hostel to take a shower and change my clothes. Sadly it was a bad hair day, and I had nothing to fix it! I did all I could and went to the hotel where the Tea Party would be.

I arrived and it was awesome, it was the first time I saw such an amount of beautiful well dressed lolitas.

One Month in an Appartment in Finland

It was my turn to go to Finland. I went the night before to the train station to take my train to Budapest, since flights from there are way cheaper than from Belgrade. I arrived in the morning and killed time until 5. Since for some weird reason I wanted to get Pizza Hut really bad, I went to look for it, there was only one place that sells it, the Plaza Arena.  

 

Biiiig disappointment! But at least I found a beautiful dress at Orsay haha 

We are so poor we could only afford going to two countries

As I said in my last entry, he came to visit me from Finland, we spent two nice weeks and Croatia and Slovenia were the next places to visit. I really wanted him to go to Plitvice, the national park in Croatia so, the trip was tiring, all night long from Belgrade to Zagreb and then 2 hours and a half to Plitvice.

I won’t put pictures of the park, but if you’re curious you can check this post I made in my LJ from the first time I went. It’s incredibly beautiful, and something that everyone should see before dying haha

Jagodina or, where are my strawberries?!

Last Saturday I was planning of going to one city in Serbia, but at the end I changed my destination to Jagodina, a small city 3 hours away from Belgrade. The reason is that I gave this trip as a birthday present to my friend Asni and she wanted to go there, Why? Because she looooves strawberries, which in Serbian are called Jagode, and only because of the name she wanted to go. At the end, well, I didn’t see any strawberry hahaha 

We had to catch the train of 7:50am, it was 7:42 and we were still on the bus! We had to run to the train station and buy the tickets fast! The train was full and we had to go in a different cabinet. I slept all the way, since we had to wake up at 5:30am to be ready. 

Vršac

Travelling is one of those thing I’ve became addict since I arrive to Serbia. Going around and looking to a new environment when possible is interesting and enjoyable. Last week the chosen place was Vršac. Located 85 kilometers from Belgrade, near the border with the region of Transylvania in Rumania, Vršac is a small city of approximately 40,000 habitants. 

Kragujevac

El fin de semana pasado hice mi maleta nuevamente puesto que ya había pasado mucho tiempo encerrada. Esta vez el destino no sería un país extranjero, sino que una ciudad en Serbia. Con una población de aproximadamente 180,000 habitantes, Kragujevac es la cuarta ciudad más grande en Serbia (Después de Belgrado, Novi Sad y Niš). Se encuentra a aproximadamente dos horas de Belgrado, lo que me viene de maravilla, porque hacer viajes de 8-12 horas para un fin de semana resulta agotador. Lo que escribiré enseguida será un relato de los hechos que sucedieron durante mi viaje, si fue un buen viaje o no, eso será juzgado por el lector. 

One Weekend, Two Cities

Last weekend Sabriana and I decided to improvise another little trip. This time the destination was Macedonia! We decided to go on Friday morning and in the afternoon we were going out only with our backpacks. Since I have the experience of going by train, and it wasn’t pleasant at all (It’s a very transited train so, usually there’s people sleeping in the aisle, the bathrooms are hell and every passport check out lasts an eternity) we decided to go by bus. 

Un Fin de Semana Improvisado

Debido a los problemas que tuve para ir a Finlandia, al final me quedó sobrando un boleto de tren para Budapest, y algunas personas sabrán que Hungría no es de mis países predilectos, pero no podía desperdiciarlo! Así que fui con dos amigos (Sabriana y Conell), fue todo improvisado ya que lo decidimos dos días antes. Agarramos nuestras mochilas y nos encaminamos en la noche para la estación de trenes. 

10 Días en Finlandia

Hace poco tuve vacaciones y decidí hacer un viaje muy importante. Mi destino fue Finlandia! ¿Pero qué me llevó a tomar la decisión de ir por 10 días a un solo país? La respuesta es simple, se trata de esa pequeña cosa llamada amor. Conocí a Jarno Jernström de una forma random y estuvimos hablando durante 11 meses casi todos los días.

El trayecto fue difícil, pasé una de las peores noches de mi vida debido a miles de complicaciones que no mencionaré, pero al final pude llegar al país 3 horas antes de lo planeado. Debido a esto él aún estaba trabajando, así que le fui a esperar a una estación de tren. Cuando llegó estaba tan nerviosa que apenas pude pronunciar palabra, además estaba haciendo frío y como no tenía suéter me estaba congelando. Llegamos a su apartamento, cocinamos algo y vimos una película, al final del día ya podíamos hablar sin problemas y nos entendimos bastante bien.

Ese fin de semana él debía de trabajar, así que fui a conocer Helsinki sola. Mi primer indicio de que era un país costoso fueron los 4.50 euros que me costó el boleto del transporte público valido por 1 hora y media. Llegué a la ciudad y comencé a caminar sin rumbo ya que no tenía un mapa, cabe mencionar que es una ciudad bastante bonita, no importaba hacia donde caminara, siempre me encontraba con algo digno de admirar a mi paso. Eventualmente llegué a la oficina de turismo y conseguí el mapa, junto con una invitación a tomar café y un tour por la ciudad. Al final fue un buen día, el chico que conocí me llevó a algunos puntos importantes de la ciudad y me contó sobre el estilo de vida que se lleva ahí. Sin embargo al regresar a casa tomé el autobús equivocado y tuve que regresar a tomar el correcto, afortunadamente una chica rusa muy dulce hizo todo lo posible por ayudarme y pude llegar a salvo <3

El siguiente día fue muy tranquilo, una caminada por la ciudad y una visita al Museo Militar (Que por cierto, es mucho más pequeño que el de Serbia). Después de eso estuve con él el resto de la semana y realmente no tengo palabras para describir como me sentí. Hicimos varias cosas, como cuando comenzó a manejar sin rumbo y llegamos a un pueblito precioso llamado Porvoo, intentamos hacer un picnic que fracasó por el frío que estaba haciendo, me acompañó a caminar por Helsinki, estuvimos en un bar a ver un partido de Hockey, fuimos a Suomenlinna que es una fortaleza y forma parte del Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco, e incluso cosas aburridas como ir de compras a un supermercado fue genial hacerlo con él, me divertí cocinando y por primera vez lavar los platos no fue tan horrible =P

Nunca creí que me sentiría tan triste por volver a Belgrado. No quería abordar ese avión, no quería separarme de él y no quería despertar al día siguiente sin tenerle a mi lado. Sin embargo la vida no es como quisiéramos, pero por lo menos ayer compró el boleto de avión para venir a Belgrado en agosto <3

Y ahora algunas fotos =P

Una Semana en Viena

El jueves de la semana pasada fue de esos días en los que dices “Estoy aburrida, ha ya sé, iré a Viena”. Estaba yo  en mi habitación cuando mi amiga Leslie que vive allá me invitó a pasar el tiempo que tuviera libre por allá y puesto que las clases no comenzarían hasta el 14 acepté, y esa misma tarde nos pusimos a buscar vuelos, tuvimos algunos problemas y yo tuve que comprar el vuelo al día siguiente.

Año Nuevo, Vida Nueva

Este 2013 será un año muy importante para mí, ya que lo he comenzado con un giro en mi vida de 180°
