The Whites and Blues

Sunsets, parties and the blue domes. Mykonos is a dreamy island. From daytime beach parties to evening breezes, there is something for all ages and interests. The cobble stone streets and white buildings add a beautiful touch to the nature of Mykonos and makes everything seem brighter!
I was there with family which was unfortunate as there were many youngsters and party opportunities which I had to miss due to obvious reasons! 

Seafood, which isn't one of my most favourable dishes was incredibly popular and despite the fact that it is a touristic hotspot, prices were not too extremely high. I stuck to eating risotto one night, lasagne the other and completed my week with five other Italian favourites - in Greece. Nice. 
My favourite time of day in Mykonos was the nighttime.  It felt as though this pretty little island came alive at night and everything looked extra special from sunset onwards.  It was almost the only thing I looked forward to after waking up and going to the beach to spend my whole day soaking up the rays.  Bliss.
It was easy identifying certain boutiques and stalls, nonetheless, getting to them was a big problem as we could never find our way out of the maze - like streets, which all happen to look the same.  The warm hearted and friendly locals of Mykonos never held back in telling me how inappropriate my platform wedges were for the cobble stone streets which I felt was incredibly sweet and purely out of spite.
There were various white and red buildings which had the door wide open and looked like a place of prayer.  After researching this, we found out that certain families in Mykonos have their own Church which they are responsible for all things in from maintenance to simply being a touristic attraction.





My selfie stick came in extremely handy on this trip, as it does on every trip, and I highly recommend it to those who are still, to this day being influenced by judgmental, ignorant and boring people who cannot understand them.  If it was not for my selfie stick, this photo would not have been so detailed and included everything I wanted it to.
The Italian Gelato (ice cream) cafe's were another fantastic factor of popularity for Mykonos as it gave that summer in the mediterranean feel with a hint of Italy and the traditional Greek coffee; which is a lot more bitter and ground compared to other coffee.

Bitter Sweet Berlin

Three whole months without a single post.  Without anything of interest to scribble... Or type, should I say?..  They most certainly were not any old months where I simply wasn't doing or accomplishing anything; in fact I was pretty much getting my life together, making huge decisions.  Or just huge moves.  To Germany. What better way of restarting my good old writing habits than to update you all on my current location!  Hurrah, I finally made it here.  After several visits here and sleepless nights of um'ing and ah'ing, wondering why I cant find a job in Berlin, I was offered an opportunity to work as a customer solutions agent... Speaking English and Turkish only, of course.  My journey was not a smooth one to say the least, but settling in, moving in with my lovely flat mate and finally booking my evening German lessons I can say that I'm a lot more comfortable here, in Berlin. A lot of people did try and stop me when I was in the decision making...

The Power of Rejection

When was the last time you did something without wondering 'what if?', or worrying about the outcome? Now I find this to be a bit of a problem in our society, and want to get to the bottom of it. I say it's a problem, because I see that a lot of people of all ages, holding back in doing what could change a lot in their lives and decisions.  I sometimes feel like rejection or being turned away in whatever I do is such an obstacle that I need to express the negative effect this may have on the lives of so many of us. In order to overcome this obstacle, the first question I ask myself is 'so what?'. This is key, because when you start answering your own questions, it's a lot simpler to picture why 'rejection' or an answer which isn't that of your expectations isn't actually an obstacle.  Stating facts or presenting opinions where due is a part of our nature, and the human race is one of the most confusing among all. The point is, you are ne...

Perfume: The "P" in Peace

Perfume enhances our senses.  Not just smell - but also the sense of being.  Freedom.  And it just makes sense...  It's a subject which I have spoken about since I have been old enough to think and how it shapes so much of what we do and feel is so significant.   Airport sprees are especially a highlight as it means testing new fragrances and deciding which one I want next.  Finding the one and   drowning yourself in the deepness of the bottle and the journey it takes you on is an exciting part of the trip.  One of the main factors for me is the memory that you create with just a smell.  When you use a perfume at a specific time or place, it helps store that memory and combines the scent with that experience - this is especially why I prefer to go on a perfume hunt when I am travelling!   Being on holiday means that I get to relax and think about the perfume (which sticks to my travel hoodie and lingers in the hotel room for t...
