Running With the Wolves

Hello my lovelies,

So life is going on. I am still in Sevilla, still enjoying my time(athough the weather was not that good but oh well let’s not forget we are in February), still doing my work placement.

Talking about the work placement I am actually doing quite a lot of stuff. Basically I am a promoting girl, responsible for marketing, selling walking, bikes, tapas tours, flamenco shows and also from time to time working in one of the coolest hostel in Sevilla (Oasis Palace!!!), where I am giving all the necessary info for cool travellers.

I talk A LOT in my work! And don’t get me wrong, I love it and people who know me can confirm it but sometimes I just want to run away to the forest, to the nature, somewhere in a big space and just be with myself.

So that’s what I did. Booked few places with blablacar website (check it out, it is the cheapest way here in Spain to travel, after hitch-hiking of course), and went to the beach in Punta Umbria. Wow. Day only for myself, lying down on a sand, soaking the sun, oh my beloved sun, reading, listening to the music, eating fruits and chocolate, watching the waves in the ocean, flying birds, running dogs. Oh, enough. It was great.

The nature is very important to me and when I am stuck in a big city like Sevilla I feel big need for it. It inspires me, gives me creativity and freshens my minds.

Another thing I was thinking about it, is moving, just in general. Since I left my home when I was 18 I became this person who can’t stay in one place for long. I need changes, new people, new  places, new smells, new experiences. Maybe that is the reason why I never had long-term relationship. I easily get bored. Once I step into the routine I just have itchy feet to get away. And routine is not always bad, you need it but I can’t stand it.

I am reading this book at the moment where it is written that woman’s nature is to run with the wolves and be a wild forest woman. That’s how I feel. Once I see those wolves running, I’ll join them. And for now I just try to attach myself in Sevilla.

Be wild,


Ligita

Monday Thoughts

Hi,

Do you know the feeling when you smile to all the strangers on the street with no reason, sun is shining and you are riding your bike? Yes, I feel like this often. And I am not even in love, ha!
Of course I have grey days, when I don’t want to do anything, when life seems useless and ugly. This happens rearily though.

I am really getting used to my life here in Sevilla. This city is beautiful, no wonder why sun shines here very often. I like the people I live with (although, I made mistake, it is 4 english and one welsh person, hope you are happy now Lucy! J ), my work placement involves a lot of talking, sort of marketing and helping in a hostel, also communicating with travellers like me. So I can’t complain, although sometimes I am so lazy to talk!

I ride my bike, started roller blading, I party and I dance, I eat great food, I lie down by the river to soak the sun and to be with my own thoughts. I write letters and receive them. I don’t forget my friends and I make news ones. I learn Spanish, but practise a lot of my English. From time to time I keep listening to some depressive tunes and remember my lovers from the past. I don’t always want to be happy, I like my sad moments as well!

I know, I sound like I have pink glasses on, yes probably it’s true. And so what? I can see shit around me, I just choose to make it into something better.

I have 2 months left in this beautiful sunny place. And then another page, but now I keep being happy. Hope you too.

Ligita


P.S. No photos this time, sorry! I try to make you come to visit me and see it yourself! J
