busy schedule but time to smile :)

Today is a special day.
It started to snow here in Paris.
I love it, it's cold and wet but it's snow - it's becoming more and more Christmasy here and I love it.

Tomorrow I have a very packed day.
Meeting with a bank,
meeting with The Econimist,
bus trip to Brussels.

So I'm doing some work now..
But please enjoy these pictures from November :)

Expressing my Experiences :)

This has been a very good weekend.
No thoughts left in my head, not many things that I want to share here.
So I'm going to share some pictures from my travels.

When life becomes to much something

I'm back home in Paris after two weeks in Budapest and 1 day in Prague.
I was so releaved when I lended at Orly airport and I was so happy to take the airport shuttle to the train that should take me to paris.
So I waited and waited and waited a little more for the train to come and take me to Paris and for an hour it didn't show up.
People started piling up, getting frustrated and annoyed by waiting so long.

Then the train came.
OMG. People ran to the train and squeezed themselves in. The cabin was so ful that I almost had a complete stranger in my arms. :s
Ok. I can live with this, people of course wanted to get the train and get early to Paris.
But what I didn't like was the way people behaved during the train ride. People really bacame rude, selfish and in some cases angry.
When the train stopped and people had to go out, there was no other way the PUSH everyone out of your way, even if that ment to push them into someone else, hurting them or what not.
I was lucky that the stop before mine was the biggest stop, so when i had to leave the train with my luggage, I didnt have to push to much and hurt people.
So this was my welcome back to Paris.
Like I said.. Oh my God!

Last night I saw a movie called two lovers. It was an interesting movie, one that left alot of questions and thoughts in my head.
the movie is about a man how has two women in his life, one that wants to be there as a lover and the other who wants to be there as a friend.
I have come to realize that human nature is very screwed up when it comes to love, feelings and life's choices.
The guy fell in love with the one who wanted only to be his friend, a person he was not able to have in a way.
Isn't that what happens in real life?
people want the things/people they can not have and they dont rest until they either do have them or they collapse trying to become this individual they think would attract that person/thing.

On the other hand, he lead the other girl on,kept her as a safety net to be sure he would have someone.
But when the other girl showed interest he was quick to leave the safe choice and go for what he "truely wanted".
Is that also something we do?
We create our safety nets of people, environment and things to make sure we dont end up with nothing and we drop everything when the " right thing" comes along!

I dont know.
This was just some things that were left in my head when I walked out of the movie theater yesterday.

but as I left the teahter and walked on Champs-Élysées, the fashion street of Paris, I felt happy to be back.
Paris surely is a christmas city so we belong were well together.

So this will be the end of these thoughts.

another city, another experience :)

I’m sitting at the bus station in Budapest, waiting for the bus to come and take me to Prague.
There is a huge christmas tree standing in front of me, with lights, blue orniments and small gifts hanging on waiting to be opened ( no, I dont think they are real but one can hope ;) )
In my ears christmas music is playing. This time it’s my choosing and not just random christmas songs played around the city. I made my playlist on my ipod with the point to get my into christmas mood.

2 weeks already in Budapest and I’m missing Paris.
Last night me and JuanCa watched the last episodes of Sex and the city and they two last ones happen in Paris.
I really felt this was my city, my home. It was strange but nice feeling. I have two homes in my heart, Iceland and Paris. How rich am I? 

Although Prague is a very nice city I can not wait to get back to Paris, back home.
I am ready to be in my environment and feel comfortable.
Two weeks is long time to be out of your home.

But there are 17 days until I get to Iceland, my other home. 17 days. This is proof that time flies fast, even if you are not having fun, you feel sad, you feel happy and excited. Time flies fast because you are living your life as well as you can and you take each situation as it comes, with no excuse. That’s why I’m going home in 17 days, because I try to smile to the world and take things as they come.

Now, there are is a whole new day and I’m still writing this blog. Currently I’m in Prague, one of my favorite cities I have travelled to.
The bus ride from Budapest to Prague took me 7 hours.. 7 hours and three countries later I am sitting in another room, with another persons cover and getting ready to sleep in a nother city that’s not my city.

So now, after my long long bus ride, metro ride without paying and walking to the flat I’m staying at, I keep laughing and enjoying my time. But I’m very much ready to get some sleep.
So that’s it folks, good night sleep tight.

P.s. happy birthday to all those dear people in my life that have their birthday on December 2nd and 3rd 

How old are you anyway?

This post was written last night!!

What is wrong with me?
I’m twenty five years old, I’m currently living in Paris and I travel all over Europe, I have great friends but still I prefer to stay at home, reading, watching DVD or sleep when I should be out there, partying and enjoying my youth.

Today is Friday, people all over are meeting, drinking, dancing and partying.
What do I do?
I stay at home and watch sex and the city.
Dont get me wrong – I’m learning a lot from those TV shows, something that I think was about time for me to learn. ;)
But I can not stop thinking about why I prefer to take it easy then go out and go crazy.

Tomorrow will be Saturday ( duh ) and I have promised myself and JuanCa that we will go out. We can not stay inside for the whole weekend, no matter how nice it is to sit with your cover and watch great TV shows and now have to really put yourself out there, meeting new people and having some real fun.

As I sit and write this, I want to go out.. I just dont have the energy to stand up, get dresses ( yes I’m in my pajamas ) and find a cool place to hang out. Maybe because I dont know this place, dont know the people and it would take more efford from my side then usually back home in Iceland. Same with Paris, I dont know the places, I do know the people though.
The thing is, with right people and the right atmosphere set early I’m all up for having fun, going out, meeting new people and all that s**t.
But when I have already gotten home, into my pajamas there is not much that can attract me out of them to my party clothes and get me to wear my shoes and walk out the door.
Why?

Well, I will have to see if I honor the promise I made to myself tonight.
I will of course do my best,
But I know myself, I know how much I love to relax and unwind, watching a great DVD and then go to sleep.
Am I getting older then I actually am? Am I an old soul that just doesn’t have the energy to do young stuff anymore?
We’ll see tomorrow :p

life and randomness

I'm sitting at the the AIESEC Office for Central and Eastern Europe and my mind is going everywhere it shouldn't be :)
Meaning, not in the mood to work.

I have been in Budapest for week now, I like it here and me and JuanCa are having fun ( at least I am ;) )
This time in Budapest has really been taking me out of my comfort zone in more than one way..
But I like it. I like to be challenged, being forced to face fears and being uncomfortable and not take things to seriously.

I have been watching "sex and the city" in Budapest and I have to admit I sometimes admire those women - they're so not afraid, they are daring and sexy but still vulnerable and sensitive.
Why can I not be like this?
Why can I not just take a chance and hope for the best - if not then HEY at least I tried..
Not only with men, but just in every aspect of my life!

But one step at a time right?
I'm still working on the "No excuses" one..
and it's going quite well... :) at least I'm smiling and enjoying my work.

I will be in Budapest for the weekend.. partying like Crazy in the second Porn capital in the world ( what ever that means ) and then be heading to Prague next monday.!!
Life's good.

My loved ones.. my family :)

When I have hard times, tough times and disappointing times I always look to my family for support and happiness.
These passed few weeks I have come to understand how big value my family is in my life.. I always knew they were important to me.. but now I see, Family is one of my core values.

I dont think I would have been such a strong individual without a strong family. :)
Thanks for everything..





This week has been all about getting my motivation back, getting great news and feeling ready to start smiling again.
Budapest is surely a city I enjoy visiting.
It's one of the most Beautiful cities I have been to.

I went to Careers in Europe ( www.careersineurope.com )
and it really made me enjoy my role, my responsibility and I enjoyed getting to communicate AIESEC to companies that showed interest and passion.
I have been smiling for a 4 days now.. It feels so good :)

I keep thinking about what I wrote last week - I will not give any excuses.. No more.
If I dont get answers, I will go on anyway.
If people dissagree, I take their feedback and go on anyway.
If I get no results, I check why, smile and go on anyway.
I will not give excuses :)
