Sauna and Finland…

Adulthood Certificate. Have you signed yours yet?
When we are born, that moment is registered with our names on a piece of notarized paper that makes it socially official. When we marry, or die, the absolute same. This sheet is, I believe, more than just useful for institutional and bureaucratic reasons, but also meaningful, because we are beings of symbolism, too. Our…

Desert Man
One day I was going to the metro and saw a man standing on the pass way, selling snacks. When I walked the same pass way at 12 AM, he was still there, about to pack his stuff. I looked at his face and saw no tiredness (at least it wasn’t visible). I saw a…

Четиринаесет часа возење од Гостивар до Костинести, Романија не беше ништо во споредба со прекрасната глетка на Црното Море и убавото опкружување кога конечно пристигнавме.

Постојат неколку моменти кога животот ни дава шанса да станеме подобри личности. Оваа младинска размена, која се случуваше во Струга во периодот 6-15 јули, беше една таква шанса.

Луѓето се честопати љубопитни за тоа како функционираат меѓународните или меѓукултурните или трансконтиненталните врски, но се прашуваат какво е нивното секојдневие. Навистина може да се каже дека е тешко да се замислите себеси во врска на далечина, ако никогаш не сте биле во слична врска, али ако живеете во место каде што нема многу простор…
