What's your excuse?

Protest sign of the day: ‘Inlandsflüge sind fur Insekte’ 😅

@ Innsbruck, Austria

Sometimes I still find it hard to believe: after taking antibiotics and steroids on a daily basis for more than 15 years, 3 years of all sorts of exotic experiments and a couple of drastic lifestyle changes, I‘m officially 100% medication free since March this year. 🎉 And I‘ve never felt healthier! Whilst on my ‚celebratory sabbatical‘ in Spain, I felt like writing a blog post about two very important drivers behind my health transformation...

What a way to wake up .ecolodge 😍 I really love how Nikita and Eric demonstrate that a sustainable and healthy lifestyle can in fact be MORE instead of less. And fun at the same time!

How cool would it be if all our pharmacies would look like this (again)!

Today we added an infusion for respiratory problems/asthma.
🌼
- Sage (1 cup fresh or dried leaves)
- Thyme (1 cup fresh or dried leaves)
- Calendula (1/2 cup fresh or dried flowers)
🌼
Infusion: Mix the leaves/flowers with two cups of water and let it simmer on the stove for about 20 minutes. Poor it in a mason jar, close the lid an drink it when it has cooled off.

All of a sudden you understand why people choose to live in a place where the temperatures can go up to 50 degrees in summer 🤩☀️

Well well, according to this is the most beautiful place in Austria of 2018! 😳 🎊 My first reaction; damn this would have looked perfect with a clear blue sky! 😏 Instead it’s cloudy (and rainy and cold). But then again...the upside of this imperfection is that I got the lake all to myself.😎 Pretty exceptional.

Since I’ve become acquainted with the Japanese concept of I’m enjoying the beauty of imperfection a lot more 🤓. It even helps me with though decision making... about which I wrote a little something the other day. It also includes why we’re all idiots (me to start with ☝️).

Helping winter to give way to spring ☺️❄️☀️ 🔥 @ Innsbruck, Austria

Bucketlist dream come true: biathlon! Funniest -and most impressive- sport in the world. Loved it, despite the fact that I have an awful shot with my lazy eye 😂 Can’t wait to be beamed back into hunter gatherer times 🤘 @ Seefeld In Tirol, Tirol, Austria

Inspiring read!! Dutch woman Christien escaped the air pollution in Rotterdam and moved to Spain in order to improve her asthma. With success!! She's opened a guesthouse up on a mountain top (1500m) and is now helping other people with asthma by providing a place to recover. The name of her guesthouse? Guesthouse Recover!

Soaking up some clean air at 2845 meters
❄️
In a world where clean air is becoming a commodity, I‘m very grateful to celebrate my 3-year ‚mountain anniversary‘ this week. My move to the Alps is by far the best gift I‘ve ever treated myself to.
❄️
I‘m reminded of that every day. No more antibiotics at breakfast, but instead a panoramic view of magical mountain from my kitchen table. ☺️
❄️
I‘ve received a few emails via my website the last couple of weeks to share some ‚clean air travel tips‘, so I‘ve dedicated a blogpost to that. Link in the bio 👉👉👉
❄️
Have a wonderful start of the weekend 🎉🎈🎊

Stuck in a 😜

Yesterday was all about stretch and leaving my (ski) comfort zone 🤗 It’s been absolute mahem here in Tirol because of the ongoing snowfall, so no better place to stretch up my skiskills than in Fieberbrunn, the snowrichest place in all of Tirol and home to the 😎

I’m a good on-piste skier, but a little insecure when it comes to powder adventures...But there was no escaping yesterday. Due to avalanche risks it was best to ski in the woods. I hadn’t properly done that since my teenage years, so I was quite uncomfortable in the beginning. . But I’m so happy I did it. It was crazy. And fun. And scary, beautiful and messy. All at the same time.

This picture was taken after a second round of insane zigzagging through the woods. My confidence was growing with every turn. Right before I crashed I even felt like an eagle flying through the woods.... and then the tree I ended up hugging brought me back to reality 😂

Yesterday was a great demonstration for me that everything we want is on the other side of fear. ☺️
