I just really love this tree path ♥

I've kept this photo ever since I found it on Stumbleupon. This is also the first photo that inspired my dream wedding.

Packing for Winter

Hey guys :)

So winter is approaching and I kind of have plans to go somewhere (yay). 

This time though, I decided to travel lightly and challenged myself to a single carry-on luggage for all my clothes.

I've been looking through a lot of packing videos and so I'm gonna post a series of videos I think are the best. 

This video was chosen for two reasons:

1. It's good for listing down good basic winter stuff to pack. The packing style can be more economical, but it is a pretty good straightforward video on the essentials.

2. The luggage used is within the luggage allowance of my flight.

So here's a list of the stuff packed for a 5-day 4-night trip during winter:

4 long sleeved shirts

2 pairs of jeans

1 knit dress (can be used for day/night)

3 evening dresses+2 pairs of tights

4 pairs of thick knees socks (awesome tip. Must keep in mind!)

2 scarves to accessorise

1 bathing suit

2 pairs of pyjamas

1 pair of heels

1 pair of sneakers

1 pair of knee-high boots (worn on the plane)

Check out the video below for a full tutorial:

Hope this helps guys!

Bucket List #4

This is another photo I've had for a long time. I can just imagine myself taking a swim instead of a shower in the morning :) This wins over every other hotel or resort by the sea that I've seen in my life.

Bucket List #3

While I'm young and still have my carefree spirit, I would really love to try surfing at least once.

Surfing is almost like the Islamic prayer. Before you start, you focus your thoughts, direction and physique to prepare yourself. Timing is a major part too. And in peak of the moment, you are in synch with the movement of the entire universe.

Bucket List #2

I've had this photo for more than a year now. I don't mind if it was somewhere other than the Bahamas, but it has to be me swimming by myself in clear waters and a clear ocean floor.

It's my perfect beach escape ♥

Swimming in the Bahamas. Photography by Elena Kalis.

Challenges: 

Time and money, especially if I do decide to go all the way to the Bahamas! And if I don't I will need time to find a nice, secluded location similar to this.

Story behind this entry: One of my biggest fears is being in the water. Dark ocean floors and lakes are just nightmare fuel to me (plus the fact that I couldn't swim). Yet I can't help loving it when I see people swim, snorkel, dive or do any kind of water activity. So when I started uni I took swimming lessons and I started to understand why people loved it so much and to see the beauty in it. And when I found this photo last year, I just knew this was definitely something I had to do before I leave this life.
