About

Once upon a time there was a dreamy girl with huge ambitions. She wanted to discover the world with its diverse people, cultures, landscapes. And she wanted to enjoy life to the fullest. However, she recognized very soon that she was quite different from a lot of other travelers or friends. In her opinion, life is not about filling your instagram account and proving your friends that you have seen the most visited and most beautiful and most unique and most stunning and most whatever places in the world. It is not about filming every step you do. It is not all about being skinny and focusing on how society wants you to be. It is not about following trends you actually don’t like.

In her opinion, life is connected to two things. On the one hand, life is about yourself and the pursuit of happiness. Live the life you want because everyone deserves to be happy. On the other hand, you should never forget to think about the environment. Be aware of the choices you make, even small one’s like buying strawberries from your own country during their season instead of buying one from the other side of the world in the middle of winter. Be responsible and take care of others and the nature. You won’t be able to be happy if all people surrounding you and the nature ‘are not happy’ – trust me. One could say that you can only reach happiness if you live sustainable and responsible. The United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals which are the foundation to everyone’s happiness. They are the inspiration of the author to enjoy her life. Read the 17 goals, compare it with your own life and think about what you can do yourself. Maybe you want to participate in a project in your neighborhood about inclusion or open spaces. Maybe you want to share your knowledge about making your own soap and toothbrush. Or you donate money to a NGO you can identify with. Sustainability is not only about the environment. Social, economic and institutional sustainability are equally important as environmental sustainability.

Question everything the media, the internet or your friends say. There is not the solution/ answer about life or politics or clean energy or participation. That’s what the author learnt in her studies – geography. And that’s what also her stories are about. They are her own thoughts and perception.

Life is not about being beautiful from the outside. Life is about being beautiful from the inside – being sustainable, being curious, being reflective, sharing knowledge, taking care about others and our planet. Or in other words from the author’s favorite movie:

Beauty is found within. – Narrator from Beauty and the Beast
