My 2017 Defining Moments!

2018 has begun and it is time for me to look back on my 2017 defining moments.
I don't want to focus on the worst things that happened last year, I'd rather focus on the good things for this is a great way to start the new year right.
 Let me start with my..

First moments:

• Visited  Niedzica castle and palace in Przyczna. 

Niedzica castle

• Went on a trek/hike in one of the highest mountain peak in Slovakia and in the Tatra mountain and visited the lake of love in Slovakia.

The Tatras

• Went on a water rafting course at Dunajec river Gorge. It is at Pieniny National Park. It is a lovely soothing 2-3 raft trip. 

• Went inside Slovakia's one of the highest and biggest cave, the Belianska's cave. A wonderful cave located in the Tatra National Park. Taking photos inside is strictly not allowed. But, it was a tough yet spectacularly wonderful trek inside.
• Actively participated in an expat group of bloggers that promotes Polish culture where we can alo share our experience living here. We created a Facebook page named, Hello Poland. Link is on the side of my screen, if you want to visit know more about Poland.
• Watched my very first concert and even had a 5 mins chat with Gregory Porter. If you know me, I'm a number 1 Jazz fanatic especially of that Gregory Porter's music. I had that amazing feeling when he hugged me for the first time and got ecstatic to see my CD signed by such amazing artist. With that...



Me with Mr. Gregory Porter

• I travelled for the first time through a very relaxing long train journey to Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot just to meet Mr. Porter.

• Visited/travelled to Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia (Tricity) for the very first time. I'm mesmerized by the city's old town and architectures. There's a different ambiance in the baltic sea.

• This year, I became a minimalist. I learnt what I want and needed to keep in my life.
• I was able to run my first grand prix in the city where we are currently living.

• 

  first time joining a grand prix. Despite I'm sick that time I pursue to run and join... this is such a goal.

• 
  

  
  

  I want to end this post from this quote from today's learning at #Brave2018Challenge 

 " Remember when you wanted what you currently have."

Looking back, this is what I really want to achieved and I could not say that 2017 is not a success after all. It was alll successfull. I made amazing things.

We'll see what 2018 has to offer. How about you, what are your defining moments? Don't only count the bad ones, okay?

See you soon...
