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!

Blue Skies, Crispy Air, White Peaks and All That Jazz

Servus,

At the moment I am living in the nature paradise. Call me lucky, brave, adventurous, crazy or all that but somehow I get to call these places home so often.

Some people are chasing careers, fame, family matters, money and so on. I feel like I am chasing the most beautiful spots in the world. And not just to buy a postcard and send to a friend, but actually become a part of that postcard.

The nomadic life that I lead rewards my eyes and my soul. But from time to time I forget to appreciate all that beauty around.

That nagging routine always gets me spoiled. I forget to look around, breath in and out.

Now close your eyes. I want to take you to my world.

Imagine majestic white snow peaks around you, some pine forests, icy cold river nearby and then on one hill, tucked away, remote and out of that buzzing civilization we created there stands a house. A slackline outside. Hot tub, some trees. No cars, no traffic, not even a neighbour around. Just a house. And in that house a kitchen, equiped to cater vegan feasts. A storeroom full of toys- skis, snowboards, ropes, climbing gear and all the fun activities you can think of while living in the mountains. A yoga room that doesn't need any artificial pictures of some majestic nature, all is just there, right through the windows.

Imagine being in that house. You wake up and the first thing you see is 3 deers outside, right in your garden. Just walking undisturbed.

Imagine some snow storms and everywhere you look is white and cold. But you are warm. Sitting cosy wrapped up in a blanket with a cup of tea and watching nature being wild and powerful.

To me, it's my reality. Constelations of stars, tranquility, pure unstimulated life.

We do pay the cost for such beauty. But it's worth it.

I am extremely lucky to be living here.

Don't forget where you live. Don't forget to look around.

with snow and love,

Ligita

Ode to Sark

Hello,

I keep hearing or reading everywhere that Sark is a unique island. And it is definitely true. It depends on your personality only if it is positive unique or negative. To me it was always and always will be only positive.

I spent 6 months here. And those 6 months were full of beautiful memories.

When people are coming to Sark, most of them are very surprised that there are no cars, no street lights, the only transport you can see it’s tractors, horse carriages or bicycles, which in fact brings you more than one bruise on your body. Yes, it is old fashioned and I love it.

Forget about big super markets, shopping halls or any ‘big cities necessities’. Sark is quiet and natural. There is only 600 people living on Sark, which in summer can increase to 1000 or more due to seasonal workers coming to work on Sark.

It’s the last feudal state in Europe and it’s crazy that such a small island can be independent and have it’s own government, no police only constables instead. There are many discussions whether Sark needs changes or not. Personally I love Sark the way how it is. That’s what brought me here. Natural beauty and tranquillity.

I don’t need fancy hotels full of posh people who complain about being too dark on the nights.

I don’t need that wave of stupid tourists who come to enjoy full breakfast and fine dining style holidays.

Sark is muddy, dirty but so beautiful and unspoiled. And from my perspective I want it to be like that.

I look to these beautiful surroundings, stunning coast, caves and many more natural wonders and I smile. I love that Sark is still sort of untouched. No stupid safety regulations, happy children running around where there are no cars and traffic, happy cows spending whole day outside and resting in the sunshine. I love it!

I finished my work and my flight is on Friday. This summer again has been amazing. Swimming, seeing wild dolphins, going on a boat trips, running, cycling, water skiing, drawing, making earring, reading, writing, scuba diving, caving, eating fresh lobsters, visiting other islands, countless really countless days full of joy and happiness, many thanks to my personal Sark guide Dom.

It’s time for my new adventures. For now I am off to Lithuania. For a month. To relax, to reflect on my experiences and to prepare for my big trip in November.

See you somewhere over the rainbow,

Greetings from this beautiful and stunning island Sark,

Your Traveller.
