Good morning, guys. So this is my normal morning routine
My alarm is set up for 7:00 am, but usually, I take about 30 minutes to wake up, put my things on me, make a bed
so this is about 8:00 o'clock, usually, at this time I always go downstairs and have my breakfast
- Lena, fresh berries from the bush. - Oh, yeah
What I love here, is you can drink water directly from the tap
My parents are going to the German classes
I set up a movie on the tablet for my Granny
Guys, it's a little bit cloudy, maybe it's gonna be rain. Lately was pretty much cold, it's like about 14 degrees now
Look at this garden! Oh my god, I love it, it's super beautiful
Our landlords taking care so well, so well
It was pretty much cold lately. And actually for me as for a pregnant woman, I noted, that it's like the best weather and climate for me
but it should become much warmer and even hotter very soon. We will see
but when I compare it with Mexico, 45 degrees in shadow, anyway it's nothing even close to that
so right now I decided to go to the shop, I will buy really fewer things
first of all, I can't carry too many things
and second of all, we did shopping lately, so I will buy little things, show you our streets
so we are very lucky that we have a grocery shop not that far away maybe five minutes away from our house
so I can have a nice walk, breathe and have some entertainment :) like a shopping, yeah
so my parents went to the German classes, I'm very proud of them, because they are studying the German language for three months, I guess
And last a couple of months they have it almost five days a week
Imagine! I think it lasts two hours, yeah, so this is very nice
Actually, I was also thinking to go to those classes to not miss that opportunity. You know, people are helping
The teachers are volunteering, it's not arranged by a government
Local people just wanted to help ukrainian citizens
So my parents go there and they're a couple of more families who also turned out to be here after escaping the war
so I wanted to join it too
but then I decided that it would be a little bit hard for me, because I have some online work as you know
also, I'm pregnant, so I need to learn a bit more about pregnancy, sometimes do some exercises
I'm trying to learn some type of meditations, which can help me in a labor
that is my focus right now
I don't know, did I make it right or wrong, but I felt that this is should be my decision
Maybe later on... but I don't think I will have more time when the baby is born :D
but my parents are doing that and I want to tell you that they are about 60 years old and this is amazing!
that they are going and studying. You know it also takes their attention, they are focusing on some studying.
It's very good in this situation, to meet some people, socialize and learn something new
this is one of my favorite landscapes around
here we have one sports shop and there you can see our grocery shop already
so that's it, I completed my shopping. Again I took more than I can carry
I don't know, it's so hard to stop yourself. That grocery shop is very good, you can find different things, delicious
and every time I leave it with a heavy bag
And it was so crowded today, I have no idea why, because it's a working day. I don't know why so many people here
I know that the school was finished, the kids had their graduation last week
so now they are free from school, but small kids are going to the kindergarten
I forgot to show you, guys, one of the super cool features, is that here in our garden we have a lot of veggies and fruits, and berries
and yesterday I discovered this very tasty berry
I don't know how do you call it in English, maybe you can help me
so tasty
in Kharkiv (Ukraine) we also have a small garden and my grandmother always would put some flowers, berries, and fruits
especially when you're pregnant it is super cool to take fresh food from your garden :)
The total cost is 30,49 euros
So what I'm working on as a digital nomad? Right now I am working on some accounting documents (for my business)
I actually don't like to handle it, and we're working with the accounter all the time, but anyway, it needs to be done (1 time a month)
You need to organize things. I like to organize, but accounting I don't enjoy at all somehow
and lately, I was thinking to make available my course. Maybe you remember, I was making it last year
The marathon-style course "Born to fly". I call it "Born to fly" because for me it's a straight association with Freedom
So basically my 2022 edition eBook (guide) "The Career that gave me Freedom" is actually based on that course
and I decided that it will be nice to give access to videos, also I decided that I will attach the eBook to this course, because it was updated this year
the course was made in 2020, but the eBook was updated in this year
and to add there the checklist
The course and the eBook include home tasks, so basically you learn the topic, and you make a home task
You learn the topic - you make a home task. So in my opinion it is the most workable
because you are already practicing and making some steps to reach your dream
so, yeah, that's what I was working on... I put it on a platform called Gumroad, now you can buy the online course if you prefer to learn from videos, from face to face
so in this course, I'm speaking in every video in English
Every video lasts from 2 to 10 minutes, it depends on the topic
the coolest feature is that in all these videos you can open English subtitles, which can help you to understand better what I'm talking about if you already speak in English a bit
or you can open Turkish subtitles, which are also available and can help you to understand the information
Check how I was looking 2 years ago :)
Hi everyone! I'm Elena and I'm a professional...freelancer!
I wasn't surfing, I thought it would be cool to start like this :)
I was dreaming to travel the world since I was a kid. Right now I run my business as an interior designer out of a tropical island and I get to work all over the world
among my clients, people are from the USA, Australia, Germany, Ukraine, Singapore, India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, England, Romania, Switzerland, and Holland
International freelance may seem tricky, but after an online marathon "Born to fly" you will be able to move on in your freelance career and have everyone asking you: "how did you make that?"
More about the course find in the description and get 50% OFF :)
okay, now I feel like I'm a little bit tired
maybe I will read the book a little bit about pregnancy and I will take a nap
Around 1 hour passed
Johnny, happy birthday!!! (My parents and I sent a small congratulation video to our friend Johnny)
Okay, guys, it's time for me to work again
I eat around every three hours. Sometimes every two hours. Normally when I was not pregnant I would eat three times a day
right now I eat at least five times a day. The doctor recommended eating six times a day.
you know, on the sixth time it could be some apricot, banana, or some yogurt, but anyway...yeah, I need to eat every two-three hours
that's why my day contains so much eating... :)
and now I will work, I need to write a new email, the new article.
Basically, I started already a couple months ago to make a free newsletter
which is dedicated to online work, remote jobs, and everything like that (Find the link for the FREE newsletter in my description)
and, yeah, every week I write an article, which I send to my subscribers
so guys, if you are a freelancer or you're just working with a computer the whole day
I will highly recommend you to make some exercises every 30 minutes or at least every one hour
or if you can't make some exercises, you can walk around your home
you can make yourself a tea, but move... move. because it's not good to sit all the time, your back will be dead
I'm making exercises, I actually bought a course from my friend "Yoga for pregnant"
So I'm doing some things from there now, like stretching my back
I mean, I don't do it all the time, sometimes I'm lazy, sometimes I'm so much in a workflow... That I can't stand up
but it's definitely nice to follow this rule
it's about seven o'clock, it's super light here (in Austria)
In the summertime, the sunset happens at about 9:30 pm or so
so it's really nice the day is very long. But I feel so tired
I actually planned to edit my new youtube video, I'm very excited about it, but also takes a lot of time to transfer all files, all videos which I shot...
so maybe I will be dealing with that, maybe I will not be able to start editing...
so this is my will be my last work for today
Traditional Ukrainian Borsch
A couple of hours later
Guys, it's about 9:30 pm, I'm very tired, I had some dinner, I spent time with my parents
we sit, talk and drink tea. Yeah, I hardly get upstairs, really tired
so now I will sleep
Thank you for being with me on this day, it was fun to share with you! have a good night :)
