I kinda realize that my life could be more fulfilled. I am super lazy person and it takes me a lot of effort to do anything. But whenever I see an air ticket I evolve into the beast. I have trouble with waking up, with focusing… but whenever I leave my comfort zone I change. It really doesn’t matter how I leave my comfort zone. I guess even if I built the tent couple of km from my dorm, the feeling of satisfaction would still come. And that’s something I live for. It helps me to understand myself better.
For me its all about finding the balance. Balance between things I need to do (are expected form me) and the ones I love (want) to do.
People always ask me how can I afford to travel so much, how can I manage my time with my job and studies… It is not easy. But its possible and totally worth it. And to be truly honest I was really stressed with my studies lately. But I got over it… and now it just puts smile on my face. And I still believe that I am not traveling enough.
I guess I will never be that kind of person with the passion to be best of the best. That’s not something that would make me happy. I like to find the easiest way how to get trough the problem. Not the perfect one or the hard one… just the easies one. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t like competing. I need to be challenged. Always.
So yeah. I did some traveling lately. At the beginning of October, I went to Japan. I traveled with the same group of people that we went to Iceland together last year. It was 14 of us, 14 individuals, each really different but with pretty same sence of humor.
Japan was great. Combination of sightseeing, hiking, camping and eating sushi cannot be bad. Surprisingly there was not very many tourists from other countries than China and Korea. So walking around as European felt pretty unique. Locals were always super helpful and kind. Unfortunatelly I cannot say the same about us :D I was able to see my friend Shizuka. We met 5 years ago while being an exchange in the USA. I was worried about our meeting… you know we haven’t seen each other for 4 years but it felt like we haven’t talked for 2 weeks. We simply continued where we end up 4 years ago. Which was pretty amazing.
Meanwhile I passed statistics II. and got my first tinder experience. Funny one.
On Thursday I came back from Russia. It is one of those countries which I simply had to visit. And it was intense adventure. I would call it as a country with two faces. On one hand Moscow tries to show you its hugeness, the face of modern city and on the other a lot of poverty can be seen. Luckily I have some friends over there so I need to say big thank you for your hospitability. I had a great time in mother Russia and it wouldn’t be as great without you. And I am pretty sure that I will never ever drink 3 shots of vodka by the time soup is served. You can imagine how we looked like after the whole dinner :D
I love my life. I love people around me. I love things I do. Sometimes I think I should do more but overall, life is beautiful.
