Forest Bathing on Hiking Trips

I really miss hiking! Hiking is a form of meditation for me, escaping the noise of society into a calm natural setting. With every step I take, I rejoice in the beauty of the universe's creations.

The competitors were mostly teenagers, defending their provinces. Staying in Lumpinee, I got around with the help of Grab motorbikes- yep, they have Grab (e-hailing service in Southeast

Well, it has been a while since I updated my blog. It is now starting to resemble a common travel blog. Not that I have anything against travelogs, travelling or blogging in general, however, I feel there are just too many of them out there. Anywho, here are some new pictures from the winter trip to Vienna. A photogenic squirrel I love ducks! On the hike to Schönbrunn Palace Ok so I took a couple of animal pictures and will get more uploaded in due time. During the three-day trip, we visited the Schoenbrunn palace, St. Steven's cathedral, Cafe Nekko (full of big cats), and a bookstore called Antiquariat which offers imported books from all over the world as well as a famous naschmarkt in the city, and Zum Gschupftn Ferdl, where we had Viennese Schoerle.
