One year in Prague

Stunning architecture, beauty on every corner, immense green spaces throughout the city and beyond.

In Prague there are a lot of things to do and places to go, it's rather cheap (no euro, yeah) and you can come back home alone in the night without fear.

It's a clean city, people-friendly and with efficient public transport (I come from a very small town and was afraid to get lost through metro lines and unnameable streets, but it never happened...so guys, if I made the grade, everybody can).

How not to love it?

A picture is worth a thousand words

A beautiful dream to believe in...

The secret

I believe the real secret to live your life to the fullest, is to see things from another point of view.

Friendship

"I’ve realized now that many of the friendships I made when I was young were a result of not really knowing myself. Likewise, I think my “friends” didn’t know themselves either. When we grew apart, it felt like a slap in the face, but really, we were just different people beginning to finally understand ourselves."

Bite the bullet or take the risk?

It's a matter of priority.

New start(er)

This recipe is a little tribute to a vegetarian restaurant here in Prague that I really suggest you (Restaurace Maitrea) where my boyfriend and I tasted this lovely starter for the first time...and it represents also the changes I've been facing lately in my lifestyle. The point is that I realized we were eating too much soy products and, since my choice is not only ethical but also about health, I decided to reintroduce some cheese in our diet. To be more precise, I'm talking about organic goat cheese, which is more digestible and it doesn't involve so much exploitation as dairy industry. Actually, we also eat dairy ricotta, mozzarella and yogurt, but very seldom and organic if possible (it happens mostly when we eat out or when I cannot find or cook a vegan substitute). I'm perfectly aware of the power of the food (both positively and negatively) but eating is not only a matter of head and studies about this and that, eating is involving heart and physical sensations as well. I think sometimes we should reach a compromise in order to find a balance and, at this time, that's my choice. Perhaps I will change my mind again during time, but since then I keep following my path depending on what I'm feeling is the best for me.
