About

Hi, my name's N and I come from Europe. I study Comparative literature and Literary theory at Faculty of Arts (Master's Degree program) and I also study architecture at Faculty of Architecture (third year). When I'm not busy with work for University I love to take photos, cook and enjoy in little things that everyday life brings. My 'diet' consists of design, architecture, literature, movies, fashion and experimental DIYs. This visual diary is a mélange of things I find inspiring and aesthetically pleasing, other than that, this tumblr's existence has no higher purpose... Thank you for stopping by! :)
