I have the same Christmas wish as I’ve had for the past ten years.
I would like to receive an email from you.
To know who you are.
Where you come from.
Why you read my blog.
What my blog means to you.
Has it helped you in any way?
I promise I will not publish your email or misuse it in any way.
And I promise to write back!
My email: klara.soncek (at) gmail.com
I’m looking forward to Christmas :)

I returned from another work trip, this time to the beautiful region in northern Italy, Südtirol / Trentino–Alto Adige. I was traveling with a coworker a few years younger than I am, and we talked about many things. It turned out that we both used to love watching Dr. Gregory House. She told me her favourite quote of his:
“People don’t get what they deserve. They just get what they get. There’s nothing any of us can do about it.”
So very true.
What we can do, however, is fill our days—whenever the occasion appears—with something special. Like eating the most delicious Apfelstrudel you can imagine.
We spent an amazing road trip with Pamela and her husband in October. I’m sharing a few photos from the Pula Roman Amphitheatre and from Rovinj, Croatia.
It’s just wonderful to be with friends who truly get you — who understand without words and would never say anything that could hurt. There’s such comfort in that kind of connection, where you can simply be yourself and feel completely at ease.
Travelling together reminded me how precious it is to have people in your life who share not just experiences, but understanding — the quiet kind that comes from having walked a similar path.

I’m sharing Pamela’s latest interview. I feel honoured to be mentioned in it.
