Cycling like a Pro

Hello dear ones,

Well well well.

Cycle tour has started! And for me it had to be suspended after 5 days of it.

If you ever wanted to cycle tour- do it. It's an incredible experience. Being able to move around and cover quite long distances relying on your simple bike and muscle power. There is a lot of mind power too.

It's been incredible even if the weather was not treating us sooo well. I guess in my head I always expect the eternal sunshine.

Being able to move around with big weight on your bike and conquer some big motherfucking hills gives you so much joy that you start feeling naturally super high.

Being able to sleep each night in different environment, put up your tent, be ok with sweat or cold or pain or whatever, really gives you the belief in yourself.

I absolutely loved sleeping outdoors. Waking up with light and first sounds of nature waking up. Having a nice herbal cup of tea, breakfast, cold river shower. It feels so raw, so true. I know it's only has been 5 days but it made me feel so wild and connected to our beautiful planet.

And then, as always, my weakest part gave in- toothache. For many years toothache seem to be messing around with my plans. This time, I had to just listen to my body and cycle back to Lienz, where incredible things have happened. I am surrounded by so many great friends who always help me so much, and I happened to have a good luch with the dentist who helped me in a really tricky situation with expired insurance and so on. Being kind in this world is one of the most important virtues and kindess is so contagious! So be kind to one another people!

Now I am back in MoaAlm, recovering for few days after root canal procedure and praying to gods to be rejoined on the bike trip, catch Lottie and Ryan and keep on cycling.

Be healthy everybody!

Another Beautiful Chapter Finished

Hello dear all,

It is hard to believe that in few days I will be leaving MoaAlm, mountain retreat that I have been calling home for the past year.

It is hard to believe that is the end somehow.

This place is so special and some of you who came to visit me experienced it. I still cannot believe the whole year passed. It's been such a wondeful ride. With ups and downs, with laughs and pains, with joy, with many new lessons, new friends, new family.

Cooking vegan food and inspiring people to make positive chnages in their lifestyles has been one of the highs. Lots of new faces, great friendships, amazing adventures, snowboarding, sledging, hiking, swimming- my life has been really spoiled with comfort!

I am so grateful for this beautiful place and I am a little bit sad about leaving it. I feel that I will come back one day but who knows where the next adventure is waiting for me.

I really got used to wake up each morning and see those glorious mountains with snow peaks around. I have been spoiled to live by the highest peak in Austria- beautiful Grossglockner. I have been spoiled to eat like a queen and let my creativity unfold in the kitchen. I have been spoiled with people around me- who accepts me the way I am-sometimes a bit weird or crazy, loud and in love with so many things around me. I have been spoiled with deer and marmottes as my only neighbours around. I have been spoiled for so many things, but the good thing with getting a bit older is that you realise it more. Not when you are in a death bed turning the pages of your photo album but actually in the present time.

Catching the beauty in the present time is my natural high. It gives me hope, it gives me inspiration and it gives me a sense of freedom.

I am feeling pretty emotional, like with all my places that I have called home. But in the same time I feel ready for  new adventures.

This week me, Lottie and Ryan with their dog Szuka will be getting on our bicycles and starting the bicycle tour around Austria. Since we can't leave Austria due to Corona madness we decided to have a bit of a challenge and explore the country on our bikes.

So send good vibes for our trip and perhaps I'll make some more blog posts or even little videos to catch out bike tour vibes.

Miss you a lot!!!! <3
