21st International Ayurveda Symposium

Posted on September 17, 2019September 22, 2019 by Karen

The day after the Ayurveda Symposium... We’re sitting on the terrace of the KIS-hotel in Bad Soden - Salmünster (Germany) as I am writing this. It’s 11 o’clock, cloudy, and 16 degrees Celsius. But it’s not really cold and the sun seems to be just on the verge of making ...read more

Posted on September 8, 2019September 18, 2019 by Karen

They say time flies when you’re having fun. Well, it does… We haven’t written a single blog in over three months. Shame on us! We’ve just been very busy and traveling a lot. So let’s recap those three months, and we’ll take it from there. Tenerife We left Andalucia to ...read more

Summary of our stay in Andalusia

Posted on May 28, 2019June 24, 2019 by Karen

We left the Finca this morning with a tear and a smile. A tear, because we are really sorry to be leaving. If it wasn’t for our next commitment, we would have stayed for another month. We are surely going to miss Marion and Aldo, the animals and the Finca! ...read more

One year and one day of permanent traveling

Posted on April 19, 2019April 20, 2019 by Karen

Today it has been exactly one year and one day since we gave up our apartment in Emsbüren, Germany. Since then, we have traveled 30.000 km by car. We were mostly in France, house sitting. But also visited friends and family in Germany, the Netherlands and Tenerife. It’s been a ...read more

A 9-day holiday on Tenerife

Posted on March 21, 2019April 2, 2019 by Karen

We spent nine days on Tenerife with Nathalie, Christophe’s mum. It was really a holiday, though we did work a little bit every now and again. Most of the time, however, we just enjoyed ourselves and spend time with Nathalie, without particular agenda. [envira-gallery id="4316"] So we went to the ...read more

Back to normal, after one month and over 3000 km

Posted on December 7, 2018January 3, 2019 by Karen

We leave Tostat in the rain on the 7th of November. On our way to Paris, to visit Christophe’s aunt, we make a detour for Saint Jean de Sauves. Because on our last visit there, we had accidentally left behind Christophe’s electrical tooth brush. After a very brief visit with ...read more

Visiting Albi and driving to Tostat

Posted on September 20, 2018October 28, 2018 by Karen

Our parking place for the night turns out to be quiet and dark after all. Even though we are right next to a road, there was no traffic at all during the night. And no lights near either, so from those perspectives we had a good night. The fact that ...read more

Driving along the river Tarn from Millau to Albi

Posted on September 19, 2018October 28, 2018 by Karen

The night was cold and so we wait for the sun to rise above the mountain before we get out of bed and the car. Christophe moves the car a bit so it’s in the sun and he prepares breakfast. I had found blackberries nearby yesterday and return there to ...read more

Bambouseraie and Gorges du Tarn

Posted on September 18, 2018October 28, 2018 by Karen

After a reasonably good nights sleep on the parking lot of the Bambouseraie, we do our meditation in bed and get up at 8:15h. It’s fully light and since we are in a public place, I have to wait until 9:30h when the Bambouseraie opens its doors to use the ...read more

Montboucher-sur-Jabron to Anduze through the Ardèche

Posted on September 17, 2018October 28, 2018 by Karen

We left Monboucher-sur-Jabron this morning at 10:40. Without any finite goal, we traverse Montelimar and happen to pass the boulangerie (baker) from yesterday. So we make a short stop there to admire all the pastries they have. We let several people go before us, just to have more time to ...read more

A story of red bricks, figs, honey and bagpipes

Posted on September 4, 2018October 28, 2018 by Karen

After saying goodbye to the family in Lubersac, we went south to visit Brive la Gaillarde and Collonges la Rouge. They are not far from Lubersac, but we hadn’t had time to visit during our stay, because we were so engrossed with “our” horses and the ones in Pompadour. Before ...read more

Five days of separation and a lot of kilometers

Posted on July 12, 2018August 28, 2018 by Karen

On the morning of the sixth, we say goodbye to Lindsay and David, promising to stay in touch. We leave Blars at exactly 8 o’clock and head for Paris. The last 20 kilometers to the Gare du Nord take us an hour, but we arrive there in time for me ...read more

Three heavenly days near Durfort-Lacapelette (France)

Posted on June 10, 2018June 25, 2018 by Karen

Wednesday, we drove from Barcelona to Durfort-Lacapelette mostly through the rain. We paid a very quick visit to Montserrat, but didn’t go in there, because of the cloudy weather. We didn’t feel it was worth the time and money to explore in such depressing weather. So we drove on. Even ...read more

The challenge of buying fuel in France

Posted on May 5, 2018June 16, 2018 by Karen

Thursday evening, we lost an hour, trying to find a “pompe a essence” where we could either pay cash or with a credit card or foreign bank card. We didn’t succeed and in the end had to ask someone else to pay for us with their “carte bleue” in exchange ...read more

Traveling 8 hours from London to Paris

Posted on February 18, 2018March 23, 2019 by Karen

After our normal routine of yoga, meditation, breakfast and walking Bella, we started the preparations for our departure later on. We had, over the last week, accumulated some extra baggage in the form of presents for friends and family. That made it quite a challenge to fit everything into the ...read more
