You can officially congratulate us, we finally moved! 🌿✨
It’s not a big house in the woods (not yet!), but a small apartment surrounded by one of the most magical forests I’ve ever seen. Yes, it’s smaller than our previous place, and yes, it’s still not cheap for us (prices here went crazy because of the refugee crisis, even realtors were shocked 😅), but honestly, none of that matters anymore..
Because every morning, when I wake up and look out the window, I see the forest.
And it’s just… wow.
That was the most important thing for us to be close to nature.
And somehow, we ended up in a place that feels like a portal to another world. There’s a nature reserve nearby, a swamp, lakes, and endless moss-covered trees. Moose and swans live here, and there are so many kinds of mushrooms, plants, and insects that even ChatGPT was amazed when I showed some photos! 😂
I actually found reviews on Google Maps where people say this forest feels like stepping into a fairytale and they’re absolutely right!
We still have a lot to do, a lot of things to buy and set up, but starting every morning with a walk in this forest feels like pure magic. The air is so clean and fresh that it literally changes how you feel.
And I mean that physically.
In just two nights here, even sleeping on a couch (because we don’t have a bed yet), I suddenly slept through the night without any of the muscle spasms or restless legs that have been haunting me for over a year. I honestly couldn’t believe it. Usually, no matter what I do, it happens every single night. But here, nothing. Just peace for two nights in row !
We go to sleep at 8 PM, wake up early with the first light, and take long walks through the forest.
It feels like we’re finally breathing again.
It made me realize how far humanity has drifted from what we truly are. People have built these concrete, soulless walls around themselves, living 24/7 disconnected from the essence of life and it’s no wonder the world feels so out of balance.
We’ve forgotten that we are nature. The more we destroy it, the more we destroy ourselves.
And feeling the difference here physically, mentally, spiritually- is beyond words. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t only come from medicine or therapy, but from returning to our roots, to what we were always meant to be part of.
So yes, this place isn’t perfect, it’s smaller, it’s far from the city, but it feels like home.
One day, I still dream of a little wooden cabin somewhere deep in the forest.
But for now, we’ll start learning about local plants, mushrooms, and maybe even grow our own food. Slowly, step by step, toward a more self-sufficient, peaceful life close to nature, and far from the noise 🌲
