On December 4th we were cordially invited to our neighbouring secondary school - Railway Technical school to meet Maja Klarić, famous Croatian poet-traveller. Maja Klarić was born in Šibenik where she finished primary and secondary school after which she moved to the capital where she graduated from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Studies. She holds a degree in the English language and literature as well as the comparative literature. She started writing poetry almost 10 years ago. Like many young artists, she also sent her poems to many contests and luckily for her, the Trieste contest was a winner. For the first time, she got a chance to meet poets from different sides of the worlds. Today, she has got several published collections of traveller's poetry for which she is well-known in our homeland.
She talked about her travelling, both physical as well as psychological (travelling deep into yourself). 2013 was a very difficult year for her considering she had lost her sister Dijana that year so the first voyage after that was like a grey zone to Maja - neither too good nor too bad. Somewhere in between.
She also read some of her poems, one of which is in the primary school students' book for the Croatian language.
Maja is looking forward to new voyages, new poems, new friends. We wish her the best of luck in her travels.
We would also like to thank teacher Željka Vrcelj for inviting us to come to the Railway Technical school and meet Maja. It was a privilege to meet her and that experience certainly enriched us all.
On 7 October we visited one of Crotian national parks which is also the oldest one. We had a lot of fun on the way there...as well as on the way home...At first the weather was cloudy but it wasn't raining. However, our luck didn't last...During the second half of our sightseeing the rain started...and we hurried to the bus...Some of us got wet more than others.
Despite the weather we had the best time ever!
P.S. It was also our teacher's birthday and our present to her was a folk song wishing her to live until she's 105 and then all over again!
