Liebster (=dearest) Blogger

I have never heard of the Liebster Blogger (=Dearest in german) until a few days ago, when I received a message on Facebook from my new friend and fellow blogger Lubka Christova, who is Bulgarian and lives in London. She nominated me (!!!) in this category. It was so unexpected and pleasant to see that people you have never met in person, but you feel you have things in common, feel the same about you, like you through your writings and want to show you their trust and love. So, first of all: THANK YOU, Lubka and thanks to those who created this award. 

As she wrote, this is the idea behind the Liebster Award: the friendship between bloggers. Here are the rules for this nomination:

Each nominee should answer the 11 questions by the tagger.

Choose 5 bloggers with under 200 followers to pass this award and link them to your post.

Create 11 new questions for your chosen bloggers.

Go to their page and tell them about their nomination.

Tag the blogger who nominated you.

And these are the questions I was asked to answer. Keep reading! 

Where in the world have you been to?

I have been to Italy (Rome, Milan and Venice), the French Riviera (Cannes, for the film festival every May, and also Monte Carlo and Saint Tropez), London (my favorite city so far) and Dennmark (Copenhagen, for just a couple of hours for a George Michael concert!). I am dreaming of travelling the world.. 

What is your favourite food?

Food is one of my top delights in life. I eat almost everything, I never had a "favorite meal" but if I had to eat one dish every day, that would be spaghetti with seafood (cooked by my aunt Ileana and uncle Ilias). Delicious!!!  

And a favourite cocktail?

Well, I am always open to new experiences and tastes. If the bartender can serve me a drink with fruits, I would gladly take it. Otherwise, can I just have a beer, please? 

A dog or a cat person are you?

I believe I was a cat in another life, or I will be a cat in an after life. So, it's cats for me. We currently have three of them at my family's home in Loutraki. One of my biggest loves in life has been Toulouz, a male cat we grew up with -white, soft and...human! 

The biggest fail you’ve done in public?

I am truly embarassed to share that, but I will. Last summer I was trying for about half an hour to open a car that belonged to someone else, but had the same colour and details as mine, so i thought that my key had a problem. So, I called my dad to come and check it and in the meantime, some kind strangers volunteered to help me and "fix" the key. More than 10 people had surrounded the car on the beach, when I heard my sister telling me: "Natalia, this is NOT our car". I wish I could just disappear!!!    

Android or iPhone?

I am not an iPhone person, so its Android for me. Or windows phone. 

Heels, wedges or flats?

Flats. So comfortable and cool all day long. 

Your dream vacation?

A road trip to Europe (France, Scotland, Spain and Holland, etc) and then a flight (or two) to Maldives. 

The last book you read?

For the past month, I have been reading the Lost Child by Ian McEwan. It's so moving and dramatic, and although it hurts, I love it. I love to cry, after all. 

If you had to put 10 grand in a charity, what it would be?

A charity dedicated to children. Children are the future. They should be healthy, well educated, strong and happy. 

What coffee do you drink?
Cappucino. Hot or freddo, whatever, with a bit of sugar.  

Thanks for asking
