1) Can you share with us what you have learned from your life experience so far, and what you consider very important for a peaceful, happy and successful life? If there is one thing that my life experience so far taught me is to not pressure on things, exercise your temper, and let things be. Like, nothing works in the way it’s supposed to work if you force things, if you put pressure on them. Another thing is to wait for it up, devote more time to yourself, take a nap, rest, take a walk, clear your head, and do what you have to do with a smile. The world is not gonna crash if you don’t meet the deadline now If you don’t write that essay tonight If you don’t pass the exam now. For example, I had a plan to graduate as soon as possible this semester, even did my thesis early and I wanted to do my masters in Slovenia starting this September.  Found my department, faculty, university, most of the things were figured out. Things turned out differently, because of one subject, I won’t b...

1. Hi Alaaddin, how are you? I would kindly ask you to introduce yourself to the Bellspiration readers? Hello everyone, I am amazingly doing great. My name is Alaaddin, I am from Egypt, but I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. I am currently studying Mechatronics Engineering in Hungary and working in a not-for-profit organization called AIESEC as a national product manager for our Danish branch. I am an energetic person who loves to smile and spread positivity, especially these days. I love to help as many people as possible and trying to be empathetic. In 2012, I was a nursing faculty-student and spent two years there and worked as an ICU nurse in a private hospital for two years. However, I left the school after that, and I didn’t feel it. In 2014 I went to the commerce faculty, and I spent three out of four years there. During those years, I got to know AIESEC and joined it later, and in my final year, I decided to leave the university and study Mechatronics Engineering in Hungary...

1) Dear Tania, you are a very special soul to me... But who is really Tania, what does she dream about, what does she like and what does she do? For the readers of the Bellspiration blog, introduce yourself, so we can all get to know you. Belma you are too kind and beautiful! & thank you for this opportunity to share a little about myself. What can I say about Tania Gonzalez? I am really just a simple, crazy, and creative girl. I dream of interacting with new cultures, exploring new lands, tasting all their foods, and talking over some coffee. I enjoy genuine conversations. I was never aware of the importance of communication until I had the privilege of visiting Sarajevo. Having conversations with no phones or any other distractions on your hands was new for me. I enjoy getting to know people, not through small talks or their cool feed, but by hearing their hearts. I like taking pictures and creating art that provokes questions through them. I love anything with nature, sunsets, m...

1) Dear Burak, you are a very special soul to me... But who is really Burak, what does he dream about, what does he like and what does he do? For the readers of the Bellspiration blog, introduce yourself, so we can all get to know you. Hey Belma! Thank you for your kind words. Well, I am Burak and a senior International Relations student now, at Galatasaray University in my own city, Istanbul. Beyond my studies, I am an IR & Diplomacy enthusiast, and a wannabe diplomat. That’s been my dream for years now, and I am still preparing for a possible diplomacy career after my graduation in a few months. Apart from this semi-professional background, I am quite into traveling, discovering new cultures, and learning. Especially the latter is a serious motivation of mine in many areas of life; not only learning academic stuff, languages or to play an instrument, but also new cultures, traditions, and places. I always considered this as an important motivation for a young person in order to w...

1. Hi Lisa, how are you? I would kindly ask you to introduce yourself to the Bellspiration readers? Hi! I am very glad to take part in this interview and I would like to thank Belma for her interest, disposition, and time. For all the readers, my name is Elisabeth but you can call me Lisa. I was born in Dresden, East Germany and when I was young we moved to Patagonia, Argentina. Even though I lived for 6 years in Germany, I am Argentinian, following the nationality of my parents (the German government does not give you a German one if none of your parents is German). Once I turned 18 I decided to move abroad and after I received a scholarship to study the Hungarian language, Budapest became my next destination. Later I applied for another scholarship for a full-program degree at University, which made me stay longer in Hungary, my actual location (but soon to be changed). 2. I know that you traveled a lot! How it started - a traveler’s life? How many countries did you visit? Which one ...

1) Dear Michael, you are a very special soul to me... But who is really Michael, what does he dream about, what does he like and what does he do? For the readers of the Bellspiration blog, introduce yourself, so we can all get to know you.  To sum myself up in one answer can be difficult, but I will do my best! I am 25, from Scotland, and I previously lived in Spain (for one year) and Bosnia-Herzegovina (for two years). I speak Spanish and Bosnian fluently, as well as my native English, and I have some basic to moderate levels of French and Russian. I would also love to learn Arabic, and I will soon be studying Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies as a postgraduate masters. My favourite books are mostly of the medieval fantasy genre and I also have many other creative passions such as travel & photography, writing, and music. In a lot of ways I feel I was born a fairly average person for my country, and I'm very fortunate for the experiences I've had. I think the different c...

1)  Draga Nela, za mene si mnogo posebna duša... Ali ko je zaista Nela, o čemu sanja, šta voli i čime se to ona sve bavi? Za čitaoce Bellspiration bloga, predstavi nam se, da te svi upoznamo.  Prvo želim da se zahvalim na prilici i mogućnosti da budem dio Bellspiration club-a. Ko je ustvari Nela? To je pitanje koje sebi iz dana u dan postavljam, a čini mi se da sam svakim danom sve bliža i bliža tom odgovoru. Za sada znam da je Nela jedna putujuća duša koja svakodnevno uživa u novim iskustvima koji život donosi. Ustvari, ako bih bila baš iskrena, ne uživam uvijek u njima jer neka iskustva su zahtjevnija da se prerade i usvoje, ali znam da svaki kontrast donosi i drugu ljepšu stranu, samo je važno biti strpljiv. Nela je i fizičko tijelo koje teži ka tome da što više pruži svom tijelu lijepe i zdrave podražaje, poput yoge i zdrave ishrane. Ali sa druge strane, to je i Nela koja zna uživati u balansu, da ponekad prihvati da joj trenutno nije do yoge i da bi večeras radije pojela...

1)  What do you think of how we, youth, can improve the situation in Balkan countries regarding historical issues? My experience so far shows that youth do not care or define or judge other young people from the Balkans based on the historical issues that those both countries face, or the Balkans as a whole. When we think of how, that would definitely be by increasing cooperation between Balkan countries, promoting each other’s good sides and taking good examples. The rest of the countries in the world don’t seem to have problems with how politics and history define them, they just live in the present, and do what they think is best at the given moment. For example, Switzerland has four official languages, and that didn’t stop her to be one of the most secure and rich countries. Finland has two official languages, half of the country speaks Finnish, the other half speaks Swedish, and yet, Finland is known for many positive examples, like having one of the best educational systems w...
