how do you know, to what extent, to take life by the hands or just leave things “meant to be”

To me, pictures truly speak a thousand words. That through each photograph is a story - the story that led up to the picture being taken, the people you were with, the emotions you felt, whether joy or sorrow, and the story that followed soon after. It reminds of a time, a time that I could’ve easily forgotten. Because I want to remember every single little moment. 

Budapest 2012 - One of the most traumatic, horrible experiences that has happened to me. And yet looking back, I can only think of how at awe I was to be in a city of such historic value. Of almost bursting in tears at the beauty of the architecture and of what happened there, at the very spot where I’m standing, almost a century ago. Of the conversation I shared over great food with a great friend. Of feeling truly blessed. Of witnessing love. 

I’m almost overwhelmed by how many museums there are here and how lucky we are to be surrounded by them, free to the public everyday of the week. The National History Museum, a five minute walk from where I live, is indescribably magnificent in every way. It’s not only kid-friendly, but has just the right amount of interactive exhibits where any age group could simply immerse him or herself in the museum for an entire afternoon. The Victorian architecture itself is something to be in awe of, while the dozens of exhibits such as the famous dinosaur and Darwin collection are ones not to be missed. For those who aren’t usually fond of museums, I’m almost completely sure you’d have a change of mind. I really wish my girls could be here to share this experience with me - we all share a passion for museums and every corner I turn there’s something that reminds me of them<3

Look who we found - PUMBA!

This 1300 sequoia was found in California and I love how each ring is highlighted with a famous event that happened in history.

A vault of hundreds of thousands of some of the rarest minerals around the world!

We went through not even half of the museum - we’ve obviously had a blast and coming back real soon!
