There lived a man of old age with a generous plot of land surrounding his country house. His garden was filled with flowers of all colours and fruit trees, from which he picked from directly in the summertime. Unfortunately, he was not fit enough to tend to his entire garden, and so he had a …
Whatever your choice, it doesn’t matter, only that you take a walk. I would suggest once or twice a day minimum. It requires little energy but assists greatly in becoming a rolling ball of action. It improves physical and mental wellbeing… and guess what?
It’s free.
The hike to Téryho chata was the hardest I’ve faced yet. The vertical climb was treacherous through 3ft snow and 40mph winds… Monika and I had the same plan as the last hike we completed to visit the Goulash Man. We would finish work and head out as soon after. Juraj had also driven about …
For a long time, since February earlier this year, I have been craving the sea and sun. Not only was I craving sunshine, but winter was also fast approaching and with it more sick people in general therefore covid propaganda was bound to follow.

My hosts’ children will be the seventh generation to inherit the land… and what beautiful land it is, when not …
Finally, I’ve arrived in Arrenjarka, Lapland, Sweden. It’s beautiful as to what I’ve seen so far. I didn’t really expect it to be a tourism lodge and campsite, but that could also be exciting. I’m looking forward to August in Arrenjarka, eating wild moose meat and taking some time away from the big cities -hiking …

He went for a stroll one evening and met a Mexican fisherman unloading his prized fish from his small boat. The American was impressed and asked, “How long did it take you catch these?” “Only …
