At the beginning of this month, we stopped by the annual European Food Festival taking place in Wrocław’s city center. I believe this was our third time attending, and it seems that this street -like fair is gaining in popularity. We did by now notice some familiar faces among the folks representing their country. For…
1. Bilbao, Spain I spent a day and a half in Bilbao, Spain this week for work, and not only did we get there on the first calendar day of the summer, we also arrived on their hottest day of the year thus far. At 38°C (100°F) it was quite warm, though it just so…
TMW#7 This week went by rather fast. It was a four-day work week in Poland due to a church holiday, and with many projects going on at once at work the time simply flew by. I started using a camera again, setting aside my iPhone as my go-to camera for all occasions. It’s going to…
On May 18 and 19 I took part in a two-day PMI Wroclaw event, and then followed that up with a PMI Connect evening during the week. Below is my personal write up of these events. 4th Annual PMI Wrocław Conference My first contact with PMI Wroclaw was exactly a year ago when a few of…
1. Szczeliniec – The Table Mountains A week ago Sunday we took a trip to do some dog-assisted hiking to the highest peak of the Table Mountains. I say dog-assisted because Fado pulled us right up the 650+ steps it took to climb the scenic overview of the valley below. Partially because Fado just loves…
1. Milano Visit Eight hours of travel through five airports on four airplanes for a quick five hour meeting. Love the smell of jet fuel in the morning, even if it meant leaving my scooter parked outside the airport at 5am (somehow I managed to squeeze in this Apocalypse Now reference twice in as many…
This Magical Week was a relaxing one. Due to a couple of national holidays here in Poland we both got the whole week off to recharge. Reading, studying, Netlfix, and some financial stuff in between was just what the doc had ordered. No exciting travel, which sucks, but weather wasn’t exactly encouraging. There’s still the weekend! 1.…
This Magical Week was a tough one. I feel mentally drained and beaten by the past five work days. Need to clear my head, reorganize, and get back to it. 1. Silicon Cowboys Before wearable, before portable, there was luggable. Silicon Cowboys is a story about a group of engineers crazy enough to start a…
Licking Your Heart is not your typical happy-go-lucky musical. It doesn’t make you wanna dance in your seat or sing along with the crowd. With the plot taking place in a 1945 war torn Breslau, which during the play officially changes the name from Breslau (German) to Wrocław (Polish), this musical does transform you to…
This Magical Week was a quick one. Here are my 5 topics of the week. 1. Mom’s Birthday It was my mom’s birthday this week. Happy Birthday Mom! My sister put together the cool collage on the right, and my dad is convinced of a very strong resemblance of little Maya to little Kasia 33…
Tim Ferris does 5-Bullet Friday’s, my boss Nicholas does 5 Strive Friday’s, and me, I’m gonna do This Magical Week. TMW for short. TMW could also stand for Too Much Work, in a way that there’s too much I’d like stuff into a 24 hour period. But TMW’s are going to be my weekly blog…
The subject of home office has been the topic of several in-office discussions in the past month or so, discussions that ultimately led to nowhere. It started off fairly evident and clear: I suggested home office so that I may be more productive. There are days in the office where all I need is quiet.…
