The hardest thing in changing our lifestyle, it’s not leaving; or unusual situations, like sleeping in the car; or not knowing the language that surrounds us. The challenging part is situations, for which we don’t have a standard response. The brain has hard work searching for optimal solutions over and over again. No more quick paths, no patterns, no routine. And during those processes, each of us craves for a friend.
Traveling as a family member has its advantages. You always have your loved ones with you. You are building deeper relations. You have your back covered. But when it comes down to fill your social needs, just your family isn’t enough.
I noticed this are the things troubling us in our first month of traveling:
For me as a mother and a young woman full of ideas, it’s challenging how to distribute time. When I have ideas which I want to manifest, it’s hard to leave them hanging while I am devoting time to my kids. And if I am with my little ones, but my mind is wandering to tasks I want to establish, I feel guilty because I am not entirely present.
As you can see, we are dealing with the same issues as anyone else.

It’s not the environment that is causing us troubles, but it is a change of environment that challenged us, to work on our family dynamic even more.
P.S. One annoying thing that is environment related: right now we are living (and already paid for ten days) in a settlement that is full of dogs shit. It smells horrible (outside and inside the apartment), and there are irritating flies everywhere. Oh well…

When we decided to go and live in Malta, my biggest fear was, that I am doing something bad to my kids.
Who am I? That's the question I am asking myself quite often lately. I guess everybody does once in a while and this article is not really about it. Let's go ahead and see what the point of this blog is.
My life started in October 1987, and interestingly, most of the significant changes in my life happened in October as well.
