Work placement in Brussels

Let's start with the table of contents again. Like all the previous weeks. Firstly, I would like to talk about travelling back to the Netherlands. Secondly, the Benelux Venture Forum event. Thirdly, feedback and emotions that I got at the every first event. And lastly, preparation for the next event in Dusseldorf. So let me start with the travelling. Me and my three other colleagues started our journey on Monday's midday. As I told you before Tech Tour has three different offices, so one colleague came from Sofia, to go to this event. Only me, my supervisor and colleague from Sofia were working on this event, and the last colleague went with us, to help to set up everything. Actually, I have never thought that such a big event can be prepared only with three people. So we started our journey with bus and finished with train. it took us almost 3 hours to get to Maastricht, even though that by car it is only one and a half hours by car, but there is not direct t...

Well... How should I start this week's blog?  Every week I had time to write the blog for you all at work , but this weekly blog I am writing at home, because this week was really busy; new experience. Now table of contents. Actually, the table of contents makes it easier for me to structure my blog. I know what I am going to talk about, and it helps to organize my thoughts.  So: * Busy working days  * Staying longer in the office * Golden autumn  * Step 8: university assignment Let’s start with the first point, the working days. This week became even busier than it was last week, as the event, Benelux Venture Forum event in Maastricht, is already approaching. The next week’s Monday we are going to Maastricht, as the event will take place on Tuesday. You could ask why are we going on Monday not Tuesday then? Well... The BVF will start at 10am on Tuesday, so we need to prepare everything in advance. By the way, this will be 2 days event. ...

A n ew month equals new adventures. Or better to say a new day equals new adventures? It depends on how you live your life. This month will give me more and more adventures and I am waiting for them. But now let's talk about this week! On one hand this week is very lazy week for me. This week there was an official day off on Thursday, as 1st November is all Saint's day. Actually this celebration, if I can call it a celebration, takes place on the 1st and the 2nd of November, but the official day off is only on the 1st of November. So this Thursday each and everyone could stay home and sleep. This day was really lazy, I just enjoyed myself, it could be better if I could enjoy the weather, but unfortunately it was raining the whole Thursday.  Don't you think that it always happens? When you have to work it is sunny and warm, but you cannot go out and enjoy it, but when you have your day off, the weather is really bad? Does it always happen to me only? I suppose that ...

Hi, there... Well, I am working at Tech Tour for almost two months already. These two months past really fast, I thought it would last longer. This is my weekly blog, and today I will tell you about one more week at Tech Tour. Today's table of contents: Other students in Brussels Walking distances Tickets to Maastricht School assignments  Let's start with the other students in Brussels. Before I came to Brussels, I knew that some of the students from my course, my classmates, also found an internship in Brussels, but I didn't think that we will keep in touch in Brussels. At the time I came here, they have been here for 1 month already, they contacted me and asked if I would like to go out, to sightseeing Brussels. I agreed, I thought it was very good idea to go out and communicate with other students. Otherwise, I would have just stayed alone, discovering new places by myself. That day we were walking a lot. I have an app in my phone that shows how m...

This week I would like to talk about some small things at work. This weekly blog I would like to start with the previous week. The previous week was the funniest week since I have been here. You would ask me why... I will tell you. As was told before the office I am working in has only 8 employees, and previous week everyone, except me and my supervisor was gone. There was an event in Italy, and two of the employees flight there, the other my colleague went to the other event in London and the others worked from home. It was very quiet in the office, especially when my supervisor left. I was alone in the office for a couple of hours, I was trying to work, and I actually did what I was assigned to, but it was quite difficult for me. You don't want to work when nobody is working, you just feel lazy. I felt like a cat, I just wanted to lay on the ground and do nothing. But there was also an advantage of staying alone, I was leaving earlier those days as my supervisor let me do so....

Good afternoon everyone.. Or what time is it now at your place? Today's topics will be as following: Life outside Summer time  Project Meetings So let's start with the life outside. What do you think I mean with the "life outside"? For me it is the time that I don't spend in the office now, my free time. Free time? Yaaaay.. Actually, I have plenty of free time, but I think that I am wasting it. I need to start doing something that will move me from "freeze" point. At my free time I am usually trying to relax at home, or I am walking around the neighborhood. By the way my neighborhood is called Ixelles. It is really nice place to live in, here are a lot of students, because the VUB university is located in the middle of this neighborhood. A lot of parties are held here, but I am not a "party" person, it might sound a bit boring, but I am enjoying my life without parties. I really like the time spent alone, I can think a...
