Post 3

Hi, guys! So, this is the high time for the third post. Let’s get it started!

Day by day I’m getting used to all that surround me. Our apartment, the way to work that I pass every day, our office and people in there – all that – is daily basis for me now. But I do not consider this as something bad, it’s just the next step in adaptation. The excitement of the “first time” is slowly going away, to clear the way for simply enjoyable observation of familiar places. With the time we have more and more responsibilities and tasks. I feel like I already made a hundred of flyers in Adobe Illustrator – of course less but I feel like that amount. We’ve met our new multimedia mentor – Martin. Now, our learning includes theoretic and practical parts and covers both: filming and photography. Aside from that, we were helping with workshop for deaf people (“How to deal with money”), by doing the research about mobile apps for personal finance keeping, testing them and processing the information and putting all collected data into a summary table; and also, research about freelance websites. But I can’t say that my work is complete routine and there isn’t new experience in my life anymore. For example, we’ve attended the conference, called “Šola ambasadorka” where were helping to film and shoot every part of its program. It was “practice in live” for us – real work and I really enjoy it because I get my experience by doing such tasks.

Furthermore, weekends are still the time of discoveries for me. Step by step I get to now Slovenia: its amazing nature, which mixed altogether mountains with deep caves and high tops, green Alpine meadows (the Milka’s commercial was inspired by it, for sure), fresh clean air and beautiful view at the Adriatic Sea. Sounds like paradise? It actually IS.

Well… My list of monthly trips is not that big but I still proud of it!)

My “hit parade of out-of-city voyages” opens the Saturday evening in the mountain hut near Škofja Loka in a company of a bit crazy but really funny Latvians. Then, the next day visit to the old town with tiny little streets with a touch of antiquity. And, as the conclusion, visit to Lake Bled, hiking to the observation spot on the top of the hill – and the view that takes a breath away…

Then in the list goes visit to the Lake Bohinj, that located in the Triglav National Park (warning! if you ever decide to visit this place beware of a flock of ducks, they spy on you and follow you wherever you go!). A bit further there is an incredible Savica waterfall (78 m high). And what l want to say is that it’s  impossible not to admire the power of nature while looking at the waterfall.

Ends our list – the hike to Šmarna gora (or English equivalent – Mount Sent Mary). Hiking it, I recognized, that no matter how tough the way up might be, the view from the peak is worth it!

This is all for now. Hope, soon I will go to the next level and may be will start to explore nearby countries.
Bye for now. See you next year!
