The relationship with age is not easy to establish
​The relationship with age is not easy to establish. The inside wants to avoid, escape and completely ignore my age dated all the way back to the last century. My body follows it slowly and steadily giving in. But my mind does not. My head is still spinning with the new ideas

Joie de vivre - Healing the change with change
When change is the master key to rest and strengthen a human mind, then how to deal with the change from change and find the lost joy of life.

New Year Starts with new insights

I have started 2019 with a trip to Rome. It was a well-planned trip, because we have known already in the beginning of 2018 that we'll have an opportunity to travel to the Italian capital with the whole family. Having been in several cities in the North of Italy, I have never seen Rome.

Christmas ready 

There are different ways to the feeling of Christmas groove.  For me it is all about the festivities with the family. It is difficult to imagine that when I was a child in Latvia, Christmas was not celebrated in the Soviet Union. In Denmark, it is truly the opposite, the party seems to start already at the end of November.

Tschanüff - ​the castle that survived the chicken war

​How unbelievable it might sound, this historic sight founded in 1256  witnessed quite  a few of human misunderstandings, and one of them was a war over carnival chickens. I visited the castle of Tchanüff on the way to Scuol in Switzerland.

The guide took us through the doors. From one room to the other, I noticed that  a couple of times the doors slammed in the background, and a formal voice called. The tour guide told that in a few minutes the chef will receive a delivery to the kitchen. ​
