ABOUT ME

Italian and English speaking, fun loving, coffee drinking, next travel destination seeking cool blond girl.
I can't start the day without my little cup of coffee made in the MOKA, the traditional Italian caffettiere. I take it with me wherever I go...

I travel like Rolf Potts !
You are a travel legend in the making, with a sense of adventure that will lead to hundreds of fascinating stories. Locals all over the world will give you special nicknames, and almost all of them will be complimentary.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Be your own best friend. Never ever, put yourself down.

2. One day a wealthy man took his son on a trip to the country because he wanted his son to see how poor country people lived.
They stayed for one day and one night at the home of a very humble farmer. At the end of the trip, the father asked his son, "What did you think of the trip?"
The son replied, "Very nice dad."
Then the father asked his son, "Did you notice how poor they were?"
The son replied, "Yes."
The father continued asking, "What did you learn?"
The son replied, "I learned that we have one dog in our house, and they have four. Also, we have a fountain in our garden, but they have a stream that has no end. And we have imported lamps in our garden...where they have the stars! And our garden goes to the edge of our property, but theirs stretches to the horizont!"
At the end of his son`s reply, the father was speechless.
His son then said, "Thank you dad for showing me how poor we really are."
So it just shows that everything depends on how you see life. Maybe we should be thankful for what we have instead of always asking for more. We should be thankful for what we have instead of always asking for more. We shoud learn to appreciate what we have. Remember wealth all depends on your point of view. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. I had the opportunity to meet a third man kgb-a. ;)

Amazing Thing Read:
UVEK SAM SE PLAŠIO DA TI TEPAM

Uvek sam se plašio da ti tepam;
Plašio se uvek da ti kosu držim u ruci;
Prestrašen bio da naglo možeš da se okreneš,
i da mi uhvatiš nežno oko na svom vratu.
Jer sam glupavo verovao
da ću, ako ti ruku na rame stavim,
da ću, ako ti prstima čelo dodirnem,
da ću, ako ti u tople oči grudi slijem,
da ću izgubiti sebe.
Sad kad si otišla imam sebe,
isuviše.

(Zoran Radmilović)

• Happiness doesn’t come from actions, it comes from attitudes. The secrets to happiness are all in your head.
• We confuse pleasure with happiness. The former is sensual and temporary, the latter is spiritual and permanent.
• You have the tools to be happy today. All it takes is changing your attitudes toward yourself and your place in the world.
• The secrets are also already in your head, since they’re eternal truths we’ve learned and either ignored or forgotten.
• Instead of thinking ourselves to unhappiness by living out harmful attitudes, we can think ourselves to happiness by adopting healthy attitudes.
• Compare yourself to yourself. You’re just where you’re supposed to be.
• Be optimistic about the future. Things get better.
• Be your best ally : Own your success.
• Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness: You don’t have to go it alone.
• Don’t wait for the best or right time: There’s no time like now, so take the action.
• You don’t need the best: Your best is enough.
• Look forward - The past is past.
• Live now and stop living in the future: Tomorrow is too late.
