For the past 4-5 summers I have been living by the sea. I am in love with the water and spending time either on the island or by the coast gave me such happiness.
After this winter I got an amazing opportunity to work as a vegan cook in the Austrian Alps. Mountains took me away from the sea, ha!
The place where I live at the moment is so beautiful, so remote that the rest of world seems so far far away. Living on the edge of the biggest National Park in the Alps bring another joy- wild animals. Everytime I am out exploring, I spot deers, marmots and some beautiful birds. I feel so humble to be able to share such beautiful home with other creatures. It is their home, their mountains and I am here to observe and appreciate their habitat.
I am really enjoying to be part of the team creating beautiful plant based food. For quite a while now I am so passionate about veganism. I really believe it's the future. At least for me. Or at least now, haha. It really sits well with my life philosophies and ethos.
Ukulele comes handy in this envirnoment. There is something special about being able to create a beautiful sound while being in the mountains. Thanks to my friend Mohamed who introduced me to this wonderful instrument!
I feel like I have learnt a lot and it's only been a month. It is definitely challenging to live so remote and be away from so many friends and family but the nature is so nurturing. I am so so lucky and fortunate to be able to do what I love while living in such stunning location.
My german is not going at all, haha. I really start to think that I turned into lazy languages learner. We use English at work- that's my common excuse!
Apart from yoga and occasional climbing ( new hobby!), I try to get in the extremely cold mountain river. For connection, for healing and I guess for some sort of challenge. You should realy try cold water swimming- feels so good!
So that's my life at the moment. I will be here til the middle of October, if anybody passes by, let me know!
Much love to you all,
Ligita
