October has been such an intense month. I started to feel the loneliness and the difficulties of being in a new country, far away from my family and friends, where I can’t speak the local language. The days were passing so fast, and I started to love Besedne Bilke and Slovenian Conversations. I started to speak a bit of Slovenian! Also, I visited Pohorje and I felt embraced not only by the people here but also by the town itself, its mountains, its river, and its parks. I like Maribor, I like living in Maribor. October has been a month of coming back down to earth and understanding that not everything is perfect here, and that's okay.
