An inspirational place to write

The Artist's Villa in Bucharest.

I walked into this apartment in Bucharest last year and I fell in love with it straight away and wanted to spend more time there. It was the most inspirational place that I have stayed in and I wanted to come back and pretend that I actually lived here, even for a short time and focus on my writing.

As I mentioned in my previous post when I was in India recently I tried meditating which I have never really done before. Clearing and opening my mind allowed thoughts to come through which probably came from my soul and my heart and this was one of the thoughts, ‘Go back to the Artist’s Villa’. So I have started to listen to my intuition and here I am, back in Bucharest. I know, it seems quite crazy to go so far away from home to write. For a start I didn’t think I would ever end up back in Bucharest and the memory of this place was already starting to become quite distant.

So this is the Artist’s Villa which has now been renamed on Booking.com as ‘Bohemian Historic Villa - Art and Romance.’ However, this is just one of three apartments in the building and each has its own and unique feel and style.

I wanted to share the photos of it with you so you can see what I mean when I say what an amazing place it is and after all, as you are receiving my emails, you are a part of this journey that I am on.

So I arrived yesterday and today I am staying in the ground floor flat, I do feel a bit like being on the set of Moulin Rouge! It can only be described as a ‘Bohemian dream and sanctuary’ and I will continue quoting the description on Booking.com. ‘Where time stands still and every corner whispers a story.’ This 19th century villa is ‘an artistic statement designed to envelope you in a dreamlike atmosphere.’ ‘An oasis of peace and inspiration.’

So, now you can see why I came back here. Tomorrow I will be moving upstairs to stay in another equally inspirational flat and I will also share the photos.

I have nothing to do but absorb myself into my writing. This blog, the film script, the book. Hoping all three. Obviously I won’t finish the film script or the book but at least I can complete my blog pieces and share them with you whilst I am here.

As I mentioned before, maybe neither the book nor the script will ever see the light of day, but the joy I will feel in writing them, having that focus and nurturing the soul would be equally if not more important for me. I no longer want anymore regrets in my life about dreams I didn’t follow or things I wished that I had done, I have far too many already….

Next stop upstairs!!!!
