    You don’t have to have a green thumb to enjoy the benefits of planting.

  • Ascension Day 2022

    Ascension Day 2022

    The Feast of the Ascension of Jesus Christ was not an excuse to just sit still and get rotten in the sofa just because it’s a holiday. It’s actually a perfect day to explore and spend time with family. Well, in my case I can’t sit still. It’s impossible when you have a little kid! […]

    Because of the current pandemic situation (high number of Covid-19 cases, again!), I’m studying from home again. Lectures, meetings and the seminars are online again.

  • New Year. New Me Shh. Happy 2022!

    First of all, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great Christmas celebration and a fun New Year’s Eve. I can’t believe that I survived a year of heavy turbulence, both emotionally and psychologically. Just surviving everything from anxiety to depression is for me is one of the greatest achievement in my entire 2021. […]
