Travel bucket list

Blogging takes time, ressources and extreme low temperatures don't help shooting outfits. Since I don't have something new to post, and because I don't want to post something old, I though I'll talk about something that I cherish particularly: my travel bucket list. I've been wandering on the Queen of JetLags blog (which I fell in love with just a few days ago, this girl's ama-zing) and Jessica's one.

There's a few places I dream to go (or to go back actually).

First one: Australia and especially Queensland. I don't know what is about this place, but I dream to go there badly. This dreamy life every Australian blogger is talking about is enviable, and I've been dreaming to land in the country of infinite summer for years. It's unique, it's diverse, it's big and this continent is bloody beautiful. Tropical North Queensland, Great Barrier Reef, Whitsunday Islands, Fraser Island, The Sunshine and Gold Coasts, Brisbane, and of course, Sydney. Dreamy, dreamy place. 

My second place will be Tel-Aviv. I've already been there a few times, and this is definitely the place I call home. So many few people doesn't know about the beauty and the fabulousness of this country that is Israel. One thing I've learnt is that when you don't know about something, the most important thing is to never believe what others might think about it - let's be honest, rumors and misleading stories are obviously one of those things that lead to misbeliefs, hatred and closed minds. Unfortunately for some, I'm definitely not like that, and as you might have understood by now, I love meeting new people and culture. Travelling is one of the best thing we have the opportunity to have, and the beauty of a life of travels is definitely that you become richer once you're back. This is the idea that's driven me to explore and to do that bucket list. 

Anyway, if you're still with me (and I'll appreciate it a lot since I'm chatting a lot, but who cares?), Tel-Aviv is one of those places you want to put a foot on. The beaches there are quite amazing when there's not a soul around, and you realize the place belongs to you.

There are so many places and spots I want to point for you to go... Will do this very soon!

Third one being Bali, Indonesia. 

Never been to the Asian continent, but that's one of my bucket list spots. It seems like Bali has so much to offer to our eyes. Every people I met, and that have been there, explained me that it was one hell of a place. Even the food is amazing and nourishing. Don't make me start on the sunrises. 

Fourth: Road trip around America, and especially, it's been a dream of mine to see the Grand Canyon, Scottdales, El Paso, Texas, Tucson and Los Angeles (even tho I've already been there once). The world is big and a magical place and there's so many things to see. Hopefully, I'll cross this one soon enough. 

 Finally, Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast. I've been wandering on the amazing blog of Jessica, and her european roadtrips always amazed me. I've already talked about my plans to go there in a few months, and hopefully it will turn out pretty well, but this place is definitely something to see. It seems like it's a beautiful and untouched by the hands of man kinda place. Somehow, even tho I love our european cities, places that have been stayed "true to themselves" if I might say so, are the most beautiful one for me. 

What about YOUR bucket list guys? I really want to know what's on yours, and what places you've been dreaming to put a foot on, and desire a passport stamp? Yea, let's be honest, that's the point of a passport: collecting, collecting and collecting stamps. x

10 THINGS TO HAVE A PERFECT WINTER

 

Winter is definitely not my friend. There, I come clean. Since, I'm on break, but not going anywhere warm in a close period of time, I'll just have to deal with the low temperatures. I'm a lover of the sunlight and since, it's playing peek-a-boo for almost two weeks, I guess I'll have to deal with it. It might be because I've been growing up in the Northern hemisphere, but I envy those LA people living in a place where it's sunny all year around. Here, it's either way raining, windy, or worst, snowing - friends, I love the snow, but I hate seeing my knuckles freezing. I quite understand why some people love the rain since they're not used to it, but they can definitely have some if that's their desire. It's in my personality to complain about something like the weather, and you can't blame me for that. So, for now, since I live here, I was wondering what to do about it? I decided to do a list for myself of things to do in winter. 

1. Decorating your space. Being in the mood for winter is quite difficult when you're not feeling to, so I've came across the idea that burning scented candles might be one of the best thing in winter. I got mine from Zara Home or OtherStories. 

2. Drink a lot of tea. Staying hydrated is something I've learnt the hard way - but this story is for another day- so drinking tea, and especially mint green tea is one of my fav activity. It speaks for itself: there's nothing more comforting than a big mug of something hot that will warm up your hands. 

3. Cuddle up and Netflix. Winter is definitely the season where you'll never feel guilty for staying home, watching your favorite series and movies while cuddling up in a big fluffy blanket. Blessing the day where a guy's invented Netflix. Currently obsessed with Chicago PD and SVU. Olivia Benson is one hell of a character. 

4. Closet clean-out. Okay, so, I hate doing this at another moment. I came across this WWW method for cleaning out your closet, and either way, it's a good reason to justify buying some new stuff.  

5. Practice my Yoga skills. Working out changed my life, but for some reason I was pretty perplexed about Yoga. Freezing temperatures is the good excuse to get back on the mat. I will master my downward dog posture. 

6. Plotting my next adventure. Being released of my school duties in a few months, I'm dreaming about escaping somewhere warm, nice, sandy and unknown. Jessica's blog is the perfect destination to choose a getaway destination. Thinking about Croatia and sailing the Dalmatian coast, what are your thoughts about this place?

7. Grab a cup of coffee and read the news. I adore those moments where I can relax, grab the newspaper and read about what's going on in the world the old way. Seems like the world is going out of control, but hoping for better time.. 

8. Pajama day all day. Guilty pleasure of winter. Staying in my pajama all day, and being cosy is one thing I can totally master. Who cares if you're in your pajama all day? It's con productive, but no one will see you. 

9. Catching up on some reading. I love reading some books I've put on "pause", because I didn't have some time to catch up on my reading. For the moment, I'm reading Anna Karenina, and also, I'm contemplating the moment where I'll finally open my mailbox to find 'YES' by Amy Poehler. 

10. Go to the gym / Modelfit. It's not bikini season, yet. It's definitely the right time to break some sweat and respect some of those NY resolutions you've made two weeks ago. Enjoying those Model Fit videos on youtube - it's been so easy to be back on my fitness routine since I can do it from home. They say it's easy, and beneficial for your mind and body. I'm starting to believe in it. 

10 FACTS ABOUT ME

I’m having one of those days where everything seems okay – got interesting courses this morning, wasn’t late, got a Ksumi Tea, and for once in ten days, the sun is shining. Still I feel a little bit down, and since I’m sharing a few things, I though I’d keep going and share some ten facts about me.

1. Coffee – I used to hate the taste when I was a kiddo. 

Now, I practically can’t live without it, and, for me, not having my latte in the morning is exactly like missing the first cigarette in the morning for a smoking person. Well, I know it’s not great to be hooked on something like that – and I adore detox tea, but still coffee has a hold on my heart – day? – I won’t deny.

2. Sneakers – A pair like this would never get into my closet before last September. I bough my first pair of sneakers – and that’s a big decision for a girl like me – but, I found out sneakers are the most comfortable shoes in the world. Especially when you’re walking 12 KM a day during Fashion week, running all around to get the most out of your day. 

3. Pictures – One thing that might appear completely nuts, or random (make your choice) is that I hated – still I’m not quite comfortable with it – to be shot. Actually, it’s not the all concept that I couldn’t stand, but most myself being captured. 

Part of growing up is facing your random fears and insecurities, and that was one  of my biggest insecuritiesI guess. Now, I changed my position, but still 

I’m really picky about choosing the right shots that would show exactly what 

I want to share with you about an outfit or a piece of my closet.  

4. The month of April – It’s always been my lucky number. I’m born on April 4^th, part of my family is born in April, some important things happened in April also. Plus, it’s the beginning of Spring, and that’s my favorite moment of the year. 

The number 4 has also some signification for me… and I’ll turn 24 next year, so that might bring some other amazing things. 

Who knows? Keep in touch.

5. Hat / Panama – I have a percent of love feeling for hats that are beyond the reasonable. Each time I stumbled upon one of those adorable and stylish pieces I have to purchase it. Since it’s winter, fur hat are a must.

6. Photography – It’s sure is one of my passion. Getting my hand on my first canon was quite a moment, and I know I have to develop my skills in that area, which I consider as an art.

7. Greens – Healthy might not mean anything to you, but it became such an important word in my life. It turned out that I needed a wakeup call to give up on all of my bad habits, and to finally eat my veggies – which I hated when I was a kid (but who doesn’t?) Still, it turned out that now, I’m the freaky veggie addict in the room, while everybody around me is keeping on tracks their lifestyle habits. Lifestyle is exactly the domain where I changed some things.

8. Dancing – Not a ounce of shame to admit it that I love – due to this Taylor Swift syndrome – to dance by myself, when some music I love is on. I love all kind of music, and I used to 

play guitar – which I didn’t quite quit on.

9. Taylor Swift – I like to think that my taste in music is quite cool and acceptable, but I love Taylor Swift and everything related to her music. I know some people dislike her, and might call it a childish kind of music, but she’s a self-made woman. That’s everything I want to achieve..

10. Travelling – No need to mention that’s one of the thing I love most in life. Every time I have the opportunity to jump on a plane I’ll take it; because sometimes evasion is what you need. Not to mention that sunsets are quite a passion of mine. 

Thanks for baring with me to the end of this list! x
