FRESH BEGINNINGS! New year, new emotions, new experiences (2nd part)

The last days of January were packed with excitement and new adventures. From January 24th to 29th, I had the chance to travel to Dresden, the hometown of Juli. It was a wonderful opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and explore this beautiful city.

Also, the highlight of the trip was when I go skiing for the first time in Austria at Pitzatal. It was an exhilarating experience, and though I was a bit nervous at first, I quickly got the hang of it. Skiing in the stunning Alps was something I’ll never forget.

To round off the trip, we took a day trip to Munich, which was a perfect way to finish our journey. From all the new experiences, it felt like the perfect culmination of a month full of adventure, fun, and learning.

Life at TOTEM in Pilsen has remained fulfilling and consistent. I continue with English and Spanish conversation sessions, where I enjoy interacting with the seniors. I’m also still actively participating in the Adeto dance group, Nordic walking, cooking with the lovely ladies, and tutoring English. Additionally, I’ve kept up my monthly video editing for YouTube and am diligently working on improving my Czech language skills through classes.

Outside of TOTEM, I’m also involved in several community activities. On Tuesdays, I go to a Romanian conversation group at the library, followed by a Spanish conversation session on Wednesdays. Every alternate Wednesday, I host an English conversation group, which is always a rewarding experience. Fridays are reserved for Krav Maga training, but we’re currently looking for a new sport to explore, and it’s likely that we’ll dive into dance next.

To sum up, January 2025 has been a month of discovery, both in terms of personal growth and the wonderful experiences I’ve had the privilege to enjoy. From skiing for the first time to completing my Krav Maga course and immersing myself in new cultural experiences, this month has been a journey of excitement and learning. As I look ahead to the rest of the year, I can’t wait to continue growing, discovering new passions, and embracing all the opportunities that come my way.

Thank you for reading me.
