Chaos – or: A true Love-Hate-Relationship

One thing you should probably know about the Russian WinterFairy: She loves chaos, well she can’t quite live without a little bit of mess surrounding her. There are so much more important things to take care of then cleaning up stuff.

Don’t get me wrong – I really enjoy it when everything is neatly arranged and clean and stuff. The thing is I just don’t have the talent to keep this state for long. I only feel at home when not everything is quite in place. Although some people may find it heard to believe, but I am always able to locate my mobile under piles of pillows (don’t ask me how it always gets there 😉 ) or pick my favourite hair tie out of my make-up-drawer (cause it somehow always ends up there though I can’t remember leaving it there)

This chaos-thing especially hits me when I pack for travelling. Like now. You know, there are those people who always make a list in advance and then orderly put everything in their suitcase. Very neatly. I adore those people! For real!
I mean, I have a list as well – it really does help, although I never stick to it. Because during the packing-procedure I suddenly decide to do it completely different, because suddenly I feel that I don’t actually need the red jacket but instead have to bring an extra pair of jeans, and maybe another copy book, or I am not satisfied with my joice of socks anymore. And if I do it two days in advance I will start to repack probably two times or so. For sure. And I hate this fact. Especially that I can never remember if I packed the important stuff – passport, tickets, contact lenses … – and where I put it. I will check this at least three times. Just to be sure. And because I probably forgot to cross it of my list.

You might also find a bit of this disorder in my blog. But I guess that’s just one part of me.
Yeah … it’s definitely part of the Russian WinterFairy.
So – enough sharing characteristics – the next post will hopefully contain some great Ireland memories 🙂

No pic this time … thought I had one of my classy and totally unrecognizable red suitcase with white polka dots rolling on one of those airport vehicles to the airplane at Moscow Domodedovo. But this must be lost somewhere in the chaos of my harddisk

Texting soon again

Travel inspiration

Before starting a new adventure, packing my stuff for a new journey I love to remember past experiences. For example when I travelled with a couple of friends through Europe – we wrote a travel journal back then and to read it now is just hilarious. I am sitting here all by myself laughing my ass of (and not because of the glass of wine I enjoy while typing)

And I love love love to watch pictures. Everytime I find something new in there, everytime they make me remember of the fun and good times I had. But not in a bad way, I am not getting sad (well maybe a little bit) but it makes me feeling grateful that I was able to not only call these experiences my own, but also was able to share them with amazing people.

Like the time I went to the White Sea – I don’t know if I will ever travel this far north again. For me it was magic, being literally lost somewhere in Russia in a place most people haven’t even heard about.  But at the same time just feeling safe, surrounded by nature and stillness. I’d like to share this picture – it always remembers me of travelling, of going somewhere uncertain to explore new things. I really shall have it made into a poster to hold my inspiration up. Everytime I look at it it makes me feel really save. And suddenly I know I can achieve everything I want … probably this is because it  was taken in Russia, a country I really adore for the fact that there is so much to discover yet. I mean, besides the stuff you always hear and see on television. It makes me scream: Hey, there is so much more about it besides Moscow and St. Petersburg, politics and Krim crisis.
I hope to go there soon again – and I shall definitely write some stuff more often to share my unique experiences.

But for now – one of my favourite travel moments of all time …

… right now this image makes me wanna pack my stuff immediately and leave for Ireland – my next destination. Actually not a bad idea as it will only be  a few more days till the plane takes off …

For more experiences to follow
