Hi there!
It's the last post on this blog. I already posted 45 posts. That's crazy! Time flights so quick that sometimes I really can't understand how it's happening. I have to admit that it was a lot of fun and I really enjoy that task. Being obligated to write a post every single week was an interesting exercise that allowed me to practice my English on a daily basis.
For my last post I decided to write some words about the capital of Spain - Madrid. A lovely city that I visited 6 years ago. It was a trip at high school, connected with a little student exchange program. We went to visit them and after 2 months they arrived to Poland.
This experience was really enjoyable and I felt in love with this city.
Madrid is a huge metropolis with almost 3.2 millions of inhabitants. What is fascinating, is that Madrid is the European city with the highest number of trees and green Surface for inhabitant. The most popular park is Buen Retiro Park.
One of the well-known monument is the The Royal Palace. The outside of the building is really elegant and beautiful as well as the interior part. There are a lot to visit while you are at this city. Obviously I can't forget to mention The Statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree. Is a sculpture that represents the coat of arms of Madrid.
There is a lot to say about Madrid, because this city if overflowing with monuments and other tourist attractions. The atmosphere that surround this city is incredible. I felt fantastic during my stay there, and I am sure that I will revisit this city in the near future.
Thank you so much for being with my during those 45 posts!
Bye

Coffee Festival Marathon in Poznań - awesome way to find out about new coffee shops
Hi there!
Today I would like to write a few words about the event that happens 3 to 4 time a year. It's a coffee marathon in Poznań and also in other cities like Gdańsk or Wrocław.
What is it? It's a week of coffee. Some coffee shops prepared a special coffee and dessert for the really reasonable price: 12 zł.
In December there was an x-mas edition marathon and I had opportunity to visit 3 different coffee houses. Coffee and cake were really delicious. There were all connected with festive season, so a lot of them had a cinnamon or a taste of gingerbread.
I think this kind of event is fabulous, because not only you can drink some nice coffee, but also you can discover new places. Usually smaller coffee shops take part in this marathon so it's a great opportunity for them to get known. You can take your friends and spend an awesome afternoon with a yummy dessert.
I wish there were more festivals like that one. I would really appreciate a festival of pizza. In fact there was also a pasta festival, but I didn't attend it, because I'm not a huge fun of pasta.
I am really happy that I had an opportunity to take part in this festival, and I am sure that I will attempt another one. I would highly recommend taking part in this kind of occasion.
Thanks

Work-life balance - is it a myth?
Hi there!
Few weeks ago I had a presentation about an interesting topic, which is work-life balance.
I decided to present some methods that are really useful to achieve the perfect balance in your life.
While I was searching for some information, different article about this topic, I found a lot of them entitle: work-life balance is a myth. Is it?
I think that it's not a myth and it can work in our life. Obviously I don't think it's possible to have a perfect life, without any problems. Life where everything works how it should. No, it's not possible. But what is possible and what we can try to achieve is to balance our life. We can try to life a happy life. Life that brings us happiness and smile on our face on daily basis.
Work-life balance it's really important specially now in era of Internet. We don't even realize that we are working all the time. We are scrolling through different websites, and we are constantly reading different articles.
Going back to the title, is it a myth? As I already said I don't think so. There are 3 main things that we need to remember. First of all, all of us are different. What works for me, doesn't have to work for you. That why it's really important to find YOUR balance, balance that works just for YOU, not for anyone else. Second of all, we need to remember that life is messy and can get crazy. It's not possible have a model life 24/7. You are going to have those days when everything goes wrong. And THAT OK. The last thing is that is really important to just life and sometimes go with the flow. Don't feel guilty if you haven't found your perfect balance yet. Maybe it's just not for you. Try to enjoy your life, do all the things that you need to, but also just be happy. Sometimes we get lost while we are looking for our perfect "balance".
To sum up, I don't think that a work-life balance it's a myth. I agree that is not for everyone. And that totally fine.
Thanks

Planeta Singli 1 - light love story just perfect to watch during winter nights
Hi there!
It's time for another movie review, Now let's chat about a polish love story entitled: Planeta Singli.
The main character is played by Maciej Stuhr and Agnieszka Więdłocha - two actors that I really enjoy. He is one of the top celebrities in the country. Is a host on a TV, and he loves to make jokes all the time about pretty much everything. He is easy-going and has a great success amount woman. Typical playboy. Now he is looking for a new topic to discuss in this talk-show.
On the other side there she is. She is a teacher at a musical school. A really shy and insecure person. On an Internet dating app is searching for Mr.Perfect. She wants someone that will teach her how to life, how to be excited and believe in herself. On the other hand, she will teach him what a real life looks like.
Dating app - perfect topic for his television program. How the story will end? Is she going to find her perfect match?
I think that it's one of the best polish romantic comedy. Obviously it's really light and doesn't bring a lot in your life, but sometimes it's important to watch this kind of movies. Cast is wonderful and they play excellent.
I would highly recommend it. Also, there is second part which I also watched. It's all right. First is better.
Thanks
Kasia
