Our dream, our time and few other things…

Today a person close to my heart sent me a message saying they are giving up their job as the company they work for is turning more and more into the corporation. The more exclamation marks in the subject field of an email, the more important a person behind it is.

Everything suppose to be done yesterday and the deadline is fast approaching… 

The goats, the church and Homer – welcome to Ios!

Across the street, just slightly opposite to our boat, you could see at least 3 rent a car offices. As we were staying over night on Ios, it would be a great shame not to take advantage of renting a car and going on a trip to discover what this amazing part of the world has to offer.

The anchor crossing in Hydra, Greece

My eyes were pilled to the surface of the port waters. At 1 am at night, with the harbour lights on, I could not see a thing. The angry flashlights from the boat opposite were cutting the darkness, almost shouting at us – OUR ANCHORS CROSSED!

Msida marina and Valletta – our first day in Malta.

The sun was slowly getting ready to lift the night and it woke us up rather early. Even at 5 in the morning the day seems hot and there was no cloud on a blue clear sky. I did not sleep well. We have managed to get to the Msida Marina at 2 o’clock and went to beds at about 3, listening to the sounds of St Joseph’s church bells, which chime every 15 minutes. Guessing however the time using the bells would be a tricky thing to do. The strikes did not make much sense…

Why you should leave your country and live in another one?

Sometimes the choice of moving to another country is made for you by the circumstances in your own life, sometimes it is made by you feeling adventures and open to new possibilities the world has to offer. Although I truly hated year 2005 in year 2005, I have recently realized that without it I would be probably still in the same job, not even dreaming about traveling or having different passion than trying to survive day by day. Marcin was struggling to get any job and I was working two jobs not seeing much reward out of it. Our parents needed to support our everyday basic expanses and I remember my mum buying me a coat for a winter as I could not afford one. At that time I was having nightmares about the life we were living, realizing that if we do not do something, this will be it, nothing else is going to change. I will start hating my job and everyone around, not sleeping well and being frustrated all the time. Marcin with his PhD was becoming the “house-men”, cleaning our flat and cooking, getting bored and tired of looking for work, hearing that he is not good enough and being perceived as a treat… Yes, after a year of trying to make things work we have decided that it is time for some drastic measures.
