I lived in Tanzania from 2009 to 2011, where I taught at a lovely school in Arusha.
My school!
Visited the beautiful island of Zanzibar a lot…
And had fun wandering around my town, looking at the interesting sights…

I’m back in Bucharest now, and seem to have entered a magical winter wonderland…
With more snow forecast overnight, there could be more snowy photos on the way soon…
I have mixed experiences and opinions about flying… (delays, popping ears, icy blasts from the air conditioning…) but the best thing about travelling by plane has to be the view from the windows!
It’s Tuesday again! The weeks just fly by, don’t they…?
For today’s travel post, I travelled really far to the park near to my parents’ house. (Well, it was a long way to come from Romania – I’ve been at home for Christmas.)
It was a lovely frosty, sunny wintry day -perfect for walking around my favourite park!
I wanted to participate in Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge this week. Here’s a cute photo I took a few weeks ago, of a cool dog and his accordion-playing owner.
Perhaps more cute than oddball? But worth sharing anyway! 😊
A nice relaxing scene from a train window… through the lovely Romanian countryside.

(By the way, you can see my camera’s reflection in the window, but I kind of like it.)
It’s already Tuesday! Time for my second Travel Tuesdays post. It seems only right that this one should be about my recent trip to Sighisoara and Sibiu. Both are beautiful medieval towns, situated in the Transylvania region.
Sighisoara is a really small town on a hill, it’s surrounded by a wall, which is still intact. (In other towns, the wall has disappeared in places.) The town has plenty of charm, and it really felt like I went back in time when I was there! The snow just added to the town’s appeal.

It’s been a while since I’ve played along with one of Cee’s photo challenges. The theme for the Black and white photo challenge this week is Hot and Cold.
Here in Transylvania, it’s very cold and snowy right now… but in this photo you can see a whisp of smoke from the chimney, so you know it’ll be nice and warm in this old house.
I also happen to think that this photo in black and white looks just like a scene from an old movie! Hope you like it. 😀

This week’s daily post photo challenge is lovely! At the moment, Bucharest looks pretty grey…
So, It’s not this time of year without my fluffy coat:
Yummy hot drinks…
Vin fiert -mulled wine:
Christmas lights! I love love love them!!!
Beginning to decorate…
And turkey!
Hope you enjoy these photos. A new post will come along soon, when the Christmas lights get switched on around the city!
When I was young, I believed that magical creatures like fairies lived in trees, and I would go looking for them every time we went to the park. Sometimes, I still like to imagine them dancing in the trees at night…
