The Carpathians in the summer are something incredible. Green mountains, clean air, ringing rivers and indescribable forest aromas. Nature there is not just beautiful - it calms, inspires and literally heals from the inside. Every morning began with coffee with a view of the mountains - and that was enough to feel happy.

I walked a lot, climbed the hills, breathed deeply, took pictures of flowers and clouds. And also - for the first time in a long time I really relaxed. No rush, no pressure, just lived in the moment.

And how can we not mention the local cuisine! Bograch, banosh, varenyky, mushrooms, trout - everything is so delicious that I wanted to order it twice. The people there are hospitable, sincere, and I felt like a welcome guest, not just a tourist.

This trip became something more for me than just a trip. She gave me back my strength, my faith that life can be easy and beautiful. And I am sure: this is just the beginning of new adventures.

If you haven’t allowed yourself to rest for a long time, just do it. Perhaps this little escape to the mountains will help you find harmony with yourself again 🌸
