2012 képekben - 2012, my year in photos


December hónapba lépve azon gondolkodom hogy vajon hova tűnt az elmúlt év, hogyan telhetett el ilyen gyorsan? Itt az idő hogy visszatekintsek az elmúlt hónapokra... Időt szakítani arra, hogy újra emlékezzem és köszönetet mondjak azokért a csodálatos dolgokért amik velem történtek. 2012 egy hihetetlenül izgalmas és eseményekkel teli év volt, kezdve olyan nagy dolgokkal mint a Fulbright ösztöndíj és Amerikába való költözés, folytatva csodálatos és izgalmas utazásokkal és befejezve kisebb, de annál örömtelibb emlékekkel a hazatérést követően. Ha van valami, amit ebben az évben tanultam, az mindenképpen az, hogy segít a személyiség fejlődésedben, mitöbb jobb emberré tesz, ha új –és néha akár ijesztő– dolgokat csinálsz. Ne feledd, egyszer ki kell lépni a kényelmi zónából:) Íme egy fotóesszé az elmúlt hónapokról, ezek azok a pillanatok amelyekre emlékezni fogok és amiket majd magammal viszek az új évbe. Remélem tetszeni fognak a képek, hamarosan találkozunk!

As I enter the month of December, I wonder where the year has gone; how has it passed so quickly? Yes, is time to take a look back to the past months... Take the time to remember and say thank you for all the wonderful things that happened in my life. 2012 was an incredibly eventful year for me, from big events like receiving the Fulbright scholarship and moving to the USA for a research project, to taking wonderful and exciting journeys, to smaller but even happier events following my return to Europe. If there is a single thing I have learnt this year, is that doing new –and sometimes scary–things actually help you grow personally, and make you a better person. Remember, one day you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone!:) Collected here is my photo summary of the past months, these are the moments I will remember and carry into the next year. Enjoy the photos and see you next year !
