Yes, lucky me. I've always thought so, and not just because I got to go to Europe. So many things fell my way and they could have gone otherwise. NYU gave me the scholarship because I had won a state scholarship. That one was by exam...and I was just 4 points above the cutoff. There was another scholarship I won where you had to be in the top ten graduating in your school in order to be eligible. I was number 10! Without those two scholarships, NYU probably wouldn't have looked at me and my life would have been very different. Luck, luck, luck, all the way.
Lucky to have my family, too.
I'm sorry you didn't get to travel. Can't tell by your pictures and your blogs. You seem to be very eclectic in your world view.
Thanks for the comment, the pizza and the reblog :)

Are you a lucky person, than?.. or just a bright head? or its a lot of decent work and sweat?
NB. voted for your entry in SilverBloggers challenge, i wish you win.
PS. As for my travels: I travelled, but not much, simply could not afford that. 2 times I travelled to the city of Izhevsk (it is apparently the Ural mountains - i.e. still considered Europe, not Asia ;) once I've visited Tallin, with my class, once have been to Poznan in Poland (my only time I visited Europe), and once have been to Turkey. Basically thats all 'overseas' or far travels. A dozen of hike and sail trips across the Ladoga lake in 2000-es - does that counts? thats where some awesome travelshots came from 🙂 here goes more !PIZZA - maybe it will arrive right to your morning coffee?

Turkey! That's exotic. My brother went to wedding there many years ago. One of his school chums invited him and my brother said it was an unforgettable trip. This was when there was a lot of anti-American feeling. His friend was really grateful my brother showed that respect.
Thanks again for the pizza, and the very good wishes, @qwerrie
