Christmas in Africa

This year, I’ve spent the Christmas away from Europe for the first time. Here in Africa, they don’t really bother to decorate the streets, so for a long time I didn’t even realise the holidays were just round the corner though the interior of the orphanage began to change beyond recognition. Repaired furniture, washed windows, …

The best places to take photos in Singapore

The city is a wonderful combination of many different Asian cultures and the neighbourhoods dedicated to every single one of them offer and little architectonic tasting through the whole Asia.

Volunteering in a refugee camp, Greece

refugee camp

There are not as many refugees coming to Europe as there were compared to two years ago. However, the Syrian war is far from ending, there are still people fleeing the country and those who left earlier are still unable to come back. The refugee camps are therefore still full of people and the help …

Guatemala – Tikal

“And you are really not afraid to travel alone?” “I don’t think I would ever feel like traveling alone.” “And can you explain to me who the fuck is taking all these pictures of you all the time if you travel alone?” The truth is I was never actually alone even though I went travelling …

How mindfulness meditation changes your brain.🧘 How mindfulness meditation changes your brain.🧘🏻‍♀️🧠 In 2011, Sara Lazar and her team at Harvard University found that mindfulness meditation can actually change the size of different parts of the brain! 🤯 After only eight weeks of regular meditation practice two parts of the brain significantly grew in size. One that is responsible for memory and learning and another that takes care of the regulation of our emotions, developing compassion and the feeling of happines. What is even more interesting. One part of the brain got actually smaller. The one that is resposible for stress, anxiety and fear. Just imagine your bran with more capacity to learn, remember, be happy and less space to ever respond to stress and fear. 🧘🏻‍♀️+🧠= 💪🏼🧠
The research has also shown it may take up to four weeks of everyday practice for the changes starting to take place.

Have you ever carried on with everyday meditation for long enough to start feeling some of these changes? If not, what made you stop?

I’m in love and it’s beautiful.✨ Little upda I’m in love and it’s beautiful.✨
Little update on my life: I’ve recently moved to the South of Italy to live with my boyfriend. It’s a wonderful period for me though I have been very quiet here on Instagram lately. I ususally recognise the happiest moments when I forget to film and share them. I think my entire life is now one big happy moment. I have been just too happy to remember to share anything about it. ))
