12-14, 16-19 for the end of year asks :)
12. Talk about a new friend you made this year
I moved to London in September so I met a whole lot of people. Not sure if any of them are close friends yet, but the ones who are closest are my housemate A. who is a super nice crazy cat lady (which is fitting because we have three cats, and I’m also slowly turning into one), R. and P., two of my classmates from Chile, and S. who I met in the hiking club of my university.
13. How was your birthday this year?
Amazing! At that time I was still living in Romania with my boyfriend, he made a cake out of that Turkish semolina dessert that I love, we took it to our office where we had a short little celebration with all the people in our organisation which was really nice. In the evening we just cooked and watched a movie, as usual. And the next day we went to my favourite bar in town with a big group of all the European volunteers in town.
14. Favourite book you read this year?
I started reading the Outlander series in June, and now I’m on book seven! all of them have like 1200 pages, but I love them so much, i read them really fast
16. Post a picture from the beginning of the year
from when my boyfriend and I were in Istanbul in January
17. Post a picture from the end of this year
a super cute toy I bought for a friend who is going to have a baby soon
18. a memorable meal this year
I spent two months in Turkey this summer, and one day we came back to our flat after just having hitchhiked over 500km in 40 degree heat, we were really tired so we decided to grab some dürüm around the corner, and it was the most heavenly thing I’ve ever eaten. a dürüm wrap with grilled chicken, french fries, pickles, and an amazing sauce (tomato based, but i really dont know much more). that and cold ayran was the perfect thing at that point.
19. What are you excited about for next year?
said friend’s baby, visiting another friend at her Yoga ashram, finishing my masters, possibly (hopefully) finding a place/country to move to together with my boyfriend.
