International Flight Attendant Day. This year, I celebrate it for the first time in my life, a nice day to celebrate and appreciate how much energy, effort and dedication we put in our work - we, flight attendants and stewardesses and stewards, cabin crew members. On the occasion of this special day, I got a little sensitive, remembering my way from the beginning, from dreaming, finding first offers, interviewing, through training and first flights. It was and still is an amazing journey towards fulfilling dreams, which with each another take-off and landing climb to an ever higher level, gaining momentum and spreading wings. A day like this is the perfect time to appreciate and admire yourself and your colleagues for everything we do every day, taking care of the well-being and safety of our passengers during sky travels. 

Happy Cabin Crew day, flying family! High flights and wide skies! ✈️

There were some news, now it's time for some memories. Although spring is fully and summer is getting closer and closer... We are coming back to winter! Who loves this time of year above all others? I don't, unfortunately, but craziness in white fluff gives me as much joy as life-long lovers of cold winter months. This year's white time was definitely distinguished by the trip to Alps, so it's time for a few words about mountain craziness in snowflakes. Imagine that since I remember, I felt a fear of the mountains, sometimes even horrifying, which was caused by my eternal malaise, when I was approaching the mountain areas, I immediately suffered from migraines, nausea or dizziness. It happened literally since childhood, when as a little girl I "met" the mountains for the first time, what was always explained by a too radical change in pressure, intolerance of height and associated stress. Just hm... Something's wrong here. How can I suffer from intolerance to pressure and altitude changes when I work in aircraft on a daily basis? Can you imagine that? Stewardess, who spends a lot of hours on the plane almost every day, is afraid of malaise in the mountains, because "too high", and the aircraft flies several times higher than any mountains? Me neither. That is why I decided to break this irrational fear and finally go to the mountains. That's how I came across a few days in the Alps. At the beginning I was afraid that I could not deal with it, because in the end I avoided mountains like a fire, but... As it turned out, the devil is not so black as he is painted and in the end there was a lot of fun. Luckily, even the weather was good, because the sun was shining every day, the snow was clean, just the time to celebrate the victory over myself. In the end, not only did I break my eternal fear, it was the first time since I can't even remember when, that I tried to step on skis. 

To this day I'm proud of myself that after so many years of weakness and fear, I managed to win this fight. This trip was one of my milestones, and by the way great fun in the enormity of snow, which I haven't really seen for a long time.

Venice - a beautiful, unusually romantic place, just after the Roman Coloseum, one of the most recognizable places of Italy. The city of lovers, coming to mind with the tender moments of couples, floating in the famous Venetian gondolas on the Grand Canal, bathed in the rays of the setting sun. A perfect place for romantic walks for two, amid the atmospheric narrow streets and enjoying the best Italian food in the best restaurants overlooking the majestically floating boats.

I moved here a few months ago. For some, it's a surprise, others know from the very beginning, but now is the time to share it with all my readers. 

The very fact of getting offer to move to Venice was a big surprise for me, because thinking in my standard categories, I would never suppose that I'd ever stay in Italy for more than a week on holiday, not to mention living there. Well, it happened. In life, and especially in life of the cabin crew, you should expect an unexpected, so here I am. Now I'm writing this post sitting on the stairs with a view of the Canale Grande, looking at all these tourists, whose faces are expressing delight and I wonder how big is the difference in our view of this place. The description at the beginning of the post sounds beautiful, right? However, does it really look like this from the backstage? Is living in this city on the water and its surroundings really so romantic, colorful and charming?

That would be enough to start with, because a specific, more detailed post is going to be provided for the specificity of life in Venice and Italy in general.

Okay. I was absent so long. Even longer than long, because from the beginning of January. A big piece of time, nothing to discuss. In all my blogger's career, a break from writing longer than this, happened to me only once. So it would be good to explain what happened because unusually much happened. Therefore, in short about the most important, because the post is not a book, and some things will be described in separate articles. What happened when I was gone? 

I turned twenty! 

Yes, the time has passed quickly, I don't know when, I was just a little girl, and now even the teenage years are over. Some of you still remember me as a beginning sixteen, and now it seems as distant as another galaxy. However happily, entering the twenties went joyfully, easy and doing what I love. Keep it up! 

I changed my job! 

As some of you know, last year I started a cabin crew career. It's been a profession that I dreamed about for a long time and without which I can't imagine my life today, but there is no progress without change, so it finally came to the turning point of changing boards and going to much better, more prestigious airlines. Time to get to know the new dimension of the sky! 

I moved! 

Some time ago I moved to Italy, to a place where in normal circumstances I would probably never have a chance to live, what also never came to my mind before that I would end up there one day. Where? About this in another post. And if that was not enough, I'm preparing to another move soon. Changes, changes and changes once again, fortunately - only positive. 

More countries visited! 

During those few months I managed to visit and see other European countries, but not only. From the cold, winter lands under the North Pole, through the moderate center, to the southern hot zone. Adventures and beautiful memories to the fullest, and the best of them I will share with you in the following days. 

Now, after all these months of downtime, I found time to open my laptop, fill the gaps, and finally add something new to my internet corner. I hope that you will like the breath of a little bit of fresh air.
