Updating :)

I haven't got the chance and didn't made the time to write here again, because everytime I had stuff to share I didn't have a piece of paper to put them on

or any other logistics so I said I won't try to reconstruct them I will keep them to me....
It is almost the end of the month so many days I left behind me in the big city of Bulgaria, where to start, where to start:)) I guess with the beginning :) At the beginning of the month I went back home in Romania for my last master exam of this semester and after 18 hours with train got back in Ploiesti , said hello to my family and the next day in the morning left again to Sibiu, the city close to my heart , where I had spent my last 4 years :)Gave the exam, got the highest mark and left back to Bulgaria :) preparing for new adventures. When you travel so much with the train you have
so much reflection time especially if you can't sleep in the train, some time I really needed to prepare for the new month. 

So I got back in Sofia , stayed one day and then left to a new city called Plovdiv to deliver a training leadership 
programme , as I did for the rest of the EB's in every other city in Bulgaria. It was a short journey,only 2 hours and arrived. In the train station a friend waited for me and to see how life is , we met in Romania in 2008 when NTT in Romania , the team I love and miss so much, organized ITTT(International Train the Trainers) and since that conference we didn't meet or talked again , but we met here in Bulgaria :) .

 She (Bogumila ) is from Poland and in internship here, she is a very crazy and smart person, she learned bulgarian very fast and s
he is very apreciated here, I am more than happy that we met again , thank you Bogi for taking care of me and for being my friend. After 2 days in the beautiful city , a very old one I left to another one , 9 hours away almost , depends if they forget something in the city and stop the train for 2 hours to get it back :))) Next destination - Varna- a city at the sea side , a very beautiful one ,even if I don't know how to swim I love to stay in the water. 

So , after 2 days of sharing stuff with the EB there , I got a 3 days vacation to enjoy the city , called Bogi and Anya another friend from Poland, also in internship here but in another city, and started to discover Varna. We made pictures , we enjoyed the beach , water, sun , music :) I really wanted one night to just stay in the sea and enjoy the freedom, is so cool to swim in the night under the moon, drink beer on the beach and listen to great music.....
I missed that ,

it reminded me about a place I love.The girls enjoyed it also and something funny happened , a romanian  tried to pick-up us :))he was so funny :))) Some people from Varna cooked for us, I played a new drinking game , had a great night, the next day we made "facebook pictures " around the city again and in the evening we went to a place where I ordered in bulgarian my favourite beer here and a new traditional food :) very tasty , me happy . 
The l
ast day , we went around Varna, met other romanians , talked in romanian ,I missed that so much...start missing home for a second , so close to Bulgaria but yet so far..... Coming back to Sofia , preparing training for SFEM, the summer functional meeting , which was a five stars experience , by this I mean it was in a 5 stars hotel, in the middle of the mountains.




I delivered a training about Coaching, had discussions with the VP TM'
s about how to create LTT's , had a walk around the nature, had coffee in a very nice place, overall an interesting XP , as we AIESEC people say , IT was a learning experience :))) Finaly I got back again in Sofia where I was preparing an escapade to Greece , because it is so close to Bulgaria and I didn't want to miss it :)) but before this Bogi came to Sofia so we started to explore the city and take random pictures, we got lost, went to Starbucks, went in the park, she tried to help me quit drinking Coca Cola :)) and I stopped drinking it since 2 days ago. 

 We bought the t
ickets to Greece and the next day , 5 crazy people , one decided a few houres before going :))) , from different countries, regions : Romania, Brazil, Poland , Bulgaria ; started the journey. We passed the border , we finally came up with a plan, that changed a lot of times , got in Thessaloniki after 6 hours with train , a bulgarian picked us up and got us to his place. ( I have written emails to more than 30 people from Greece, including MC, no answer, don't count on them if you go there). After one hour we decided to take the bus and go one isla
nd , somewhere in Halkidiki , a region with a lot of islands. In the evening we arrived in Kalithea, a place full of romanias, with actually Greece in general if full of romanians, we found a room finally and went to explore the city. It was strike in Greece, so no trains were working so we decided to stay another day in Kalithea, the next evening we got back in Thessaloniki, a greek gu
y, a friend of a friend, non-AIESEC person, hosted us in a very small room , slept 6 people on the floor, went and had beer , enjoyed the city and the next day went to Athens , the great capital of Greece. 

There I met my romanian friend , Catalin, he is in internship there for around 7 months and will stay there till September. After we left all the stuff in his apartment, passed thro
ugh a park where I sow more than 30 junkies on the ground absent, in their own world ...dirt all over...and everything expensive....and went on a hill , where you can see the whole Athens from there, drank traditional beer and ate gyros( our kebab).
The next day it was a really long one, we went to all the important places in Athens , visited other parts of Athens , talked in romanian, seen very special places , went to the beach , played volleyball , went in the sea, took pictures :) The next day came back to Sofia, back to my big city life adventure and here I am now listening to David Fonseca , thinking that I wrote a lot ...missing places, people....h
ome...my sis....met a new Alex in my life, so special guy,but I am here living my dream and he is there back h
ome where a part of me is....Till now I was loved with no love at all , from now we shall see...

A new adventure is ahead, I will visit Vama Veche soon, 2 days in the tent on the beach, but not any beach, it is not just a place, it is an emotion, is where I felt love for the first time, for short time...From Vama Veche I shall see where my life will take me, but I am sure that the best way to predict my future is to create it, and so here I go!!!!!!!!!!!
PS : The Pictures inside this post are Random arranged :) Just like my life story in Sofia, Big City Life :)

Kind regards,
