    It’s been almost a week since my last day at work before my sabbatical, and now I’m torn. Between thousands of thoughts. Did I make the right decision? Before diving deeper into this, here’s the song playing right now on my YouTube: Back to the purpose of this blog article. My sabbaticalabba. 😀 4 years…

    This summer we decided to do the Camino de Santiago as a holiday. Hahaha! Before assuming that we walked hundreds of kilometers, take a breath. We did the most famous part of the Camino Francés, the one starting in Sarria and ending, of course, in Santiago de Compostela. I will tell you all about it,…

    I want to start by saying that: I come from a deeeeeeeeply divided country. Where Romanians have always discriminated against Roma people. So… it took me a while to understand my own internalized racism and to try to desconstruct this part of myself while living in Spain. But the truth is… we live in a…

TL;DR I’ve worked in Social Media & Marketing for about 12 years now, and for the past year, I’ve been working in this company that I really…

    Ayer fue un día muy especial para mí. Pero… como siempre, no sé disfrutar de las cosas bonitas que me pasan. Cosas por las que trabajo muchísimo. Algunos dirían que es el síndrome del impostor. Otros, que tengo estándares muy altos. Yo no sé exactamente lo que es. Pero me siento así, un poco. Ayer…

    Aunque no he publicado mucho contenido hasta ahora, he decidido probar a escribir algo tipo diario en español. Es una forma de retarme a mí misma y demostrarme que ir un año entero a la Escuela de Idiomas para tomar clases de español no fue una perdida de tiempo. Quizás no siempre encuentre las palabras…

    Today I became officially a permanent resident of Spain, after 5 years living and working here. Although is not a really big deal, I am really proud of myself for not giving up when it was hard or when I felt like not finding my place. I remember when I first started blogging that everytime…

    I first visited Spain in 2018, after I started working for a company with offices in both Bucharest and Barcelona. It was my first time ever in Spain. I remember being immediately struck by how relaxed and happy people looked. It was a completely different rhythm from what I knew. The vibe, the beach, the…
