Just a note...: Das Leben ist kurz. Also küsse langsam, Liebe viel, Lache laut, gib Dummheiten zu und bereu nichts was dich lächeln ließ

My life never settled, my life never slowed down too much, but whenever things are getting a bit calmer, some new challenge appears to fill that space and move me forward.

Meeting my partner in Sweden was one of these occasions. After months when I didn't have time to sit down, when I didn't do anything else than solving my immediate troubles, I went for a week to Sweden to a winter school. I had terrible flu, even had to pay a taxi to get to the airport, because I honestly couldn't walk with my backpack more than few meters. But I knew that I have to go. Leaving my kids with my parents at home, I had to do something else for few days than thinking about my desperateness. And in that state I came to Sweden, slowly finding out who I used to be, starting to enjoy seconds and moments, walks and talks and forgetting about everything which was left for that week behind me. Uncovering that under mum is still a human with thoughts, wishes, hobbies and most importantly, someone, who has a right to enjoy moments just for herself. And among those people I talked the most to him. I didn't expect anything from our friendship, but as days went on, talks changed to visits and visits to vacations and after 2 years, to common life.

Moving was another hurry, which we had to somehow manage in between of normal life which didn't stop for those months. But it happened. Week passing week, we slowly learned how to live with each other, how to understand bad and good moods which are coming and passing as they want. Invisibly, everything started to be a bit more predictable and easier. Time for another change?

Yeah...and that is when the small one was created. From love and smiles, being not sure what it will do with our life, it is here. Something small growing. And when it kicks me and I simply have to smile, I know that we decided for a good thing. Maybe we have enough people on this world, maybe the future of humanity is unsure, maybe we would enjoy some things more without another small kid which we will have to take care about full-time, maybe (no, not maybe, for sure), there will be again many super tough moments, maybe... I know all those arguments, but they are forgotten when I feel it moving, when my older daughter always kisses my belly and looks so much forward to have another sibling, when my partner smiles when he touches my belly, knowing that someone inside is waiting to come out and explore this world. When we all play together, hug each other and feel good...

First real trip in 2025 - cycling in Germany

  We’ve just returned from the first real trip of the year. A real trip is one where the idea of working doesn’t even cross your mind—because you’re focused entirely on survival. Every step matters, you’re figuring out where to eat, where to pitch your tent, and whether the stream or lake water is warm enough to bathe in—or if you’ll have to settle for dousing yourself with a bottle. A real trip begins where the internet ends, where meals for the whole family are cooked over a gas cooker in one pot, where you sleep as long as the kids do, and where you forget the world—except for the one right around you. A lot of people are afraid of real trips. They’re not used to being alone with themselves, carrying their life on their backs, relying solely on their own ability to take care of themselves. Many people pretend they’re going on a trip, but can’t resist the pull of wifi, checking in with friends, a warm bed, or a three-course meal. They’re terrified of disconnectin...

In love with multiday hikes - Sumava mountains

Another year passed and it is here again. The best part of the year. The nicest time we always spend together. Multiday hiking trip with kids. This year - Sumava in CR. It is not easy, maybe it is not for everybody, but it works like a magic.  Leaving behind all the daily duties, work tasks, computer, signal, restaurants, kids demands, unnecessary things. Putting yourself on a border of own powers. As well as kids. During the hike, you might not yet feel happy, as well as kids don't, but in the end, they jump around your neck, telling you that they love you. It is so simple. Just being together. Clean your mind, forget about everything. It is never that easy as when walking with super heavy backpack through the nature. You only focus on the weight of the backpack, next steps, views, hunger...I might repeat myself a bit, but I think it is worth to repeat yourself once a year about these things, which make me really truly happy. I love the forced minimalism which I can enjoy for some...

Retirement in Germany and Czech Republic: Lerne die Regeln des Spiels und dann spiele besser als alle anderen.

This summer it happened, that we were meeting Jan's parents, who are enjoying their life in Greece. Sun, fresh vegetable, slow traveling, and  above all, one another. One of those people who decided to spend their retirement (or at least part of it) and sabbatical abroad. I have to admit, that I feel a huge respect for them. Not that they had such a dream - so many people do. Not even that they travel - so many people do. But that they made the dream truth, that they were able to completely change their way of living, leave everything which makes the life stable (e.g., flat, job, belongings,...) behind and started to really live on the boat with all what they need fitting inside that small place ( http://sc-meerkat.de/ ). That they showed that it is not about excuses why you cannot do what you dream about, but that it is about finding ways how to realize these dreams. Seeing them in their happiness, building up a great team is something which is something that clearly shows that th...
