Rewind: 2016

I wanted to write something, but I am a bit too tired, so I will just post some photos from 2016 and beginning of 2017. It was a really nice year full of travelling, events, new job, friends, moving, organizing and exploring. 

In February I visited Brazil for the first time. I want to make a longer post about it, but as I haven't managed it for a year, here are some photos to show off this beautiful country: 

Acai dessert - at first I wasn't so into it, but now I miss it!

Waterfall in Itatiaia National Park

The beautiful island of Fernando  de Noronha

The whole year I actively participated in the Estonian Sociology Students Association. Helping to organize two big events, several small sauna/boardgame events, some discussion and movie evenings was a lot of fun. Also it gave me some valuable new experiences. And amazing new friends:

I also volunteered in the Estonian Opinion Festival. It is amazing how much motivation and great ideas people have. Leading a team of about 30 people was a hard, but very valuable experience.

Back to travelling.....
We also managed to visit Berlin, Italy (Milan, Rome, Naples, Venice), Hague and Bremen.

Hague - didn't fit the sightseeing on the picture, only wonderful people :)

Amazing colors in Venice

And then there were a lot of other awesome moments: 

Getting several kilos of chocolate is the best birthday gift!

And then started 2017 with two accomplishments: 

Finished my Masters studies

Competed in my First Hackathon. Our team won a special prize. 

What next?

I am not entirely sure, but there are some things I plan to do in the next year:

• Continue working on the idea of FictionFeel. Prototype video: https://youtu.be/azIB5zaML7o
• Travel to new countries
• Visit concerts
• Find time for friends and family
• Develop skills of analysis
• .......

And I can only hope that 2017 will be as great as 2016 was. 

A big thank you to all the amazing people in my life!
