"You don´t have to worry, I will wait for you here. I will silently guard this place until you come back again. And I know you will. But now you have to grow. It is so simple. And in the blink of an eye, we will be sitting here together and smiling because even apart we have never forgotten that feeling called home."

2 years ago I was watching the sunrise from Darjeeling, today the sun touched my nose while I was jogging in my homeplace. Memories serve a great purpose - they remind us of the good life lectures and also the mistakes. So we can keep going with what we have done right, work on our weaknesses and use the experiences, blessings and talents to build a better world! Sun is the same from every different corner of the Earth. People are also different. But as long as we work harder on the same goal of unity, love, compassion, humanity, trust and wellbeing for all, our differences will create the puzzle of uniqueness and not the mess of separation. Have a lovely day wherever you are :-)

It is the end of September. Time, when hills around Darjeeling are proudly standing in the sky and people can admire their beauty after the monsoon passed...so simple. so calm. I space traveled yesterday in my thoughts and imagined myself enjoying that view while I was packing the guidebook. Yesterday I sent it to one teacher, who is planning to develop rural tourism in one village in Slovakia. I was thinking about all the everyday activities you - people in rural areas - were doing and that are so necessary for human life and interesting for visitors. I thought, that these activities collected in the book should provide her the better insight into the rural tourism concept. I imagined how refreshed, stable, liberating, sustainable, responsible, slow, transformational concept rural villages all around the world will bring to the light once the COVID will not be the red light anymore. How common everyday life and activities in villages will be the reason for traveling. How people will feel the desire to come back to roots even more than before. Touch the wet ground. Cut and dry the fruit. Prepare the tea. Sit by the fire and sing. How they will come to one place without the checklist and will just be there. How the desire for inner stability will outvoice the destructive voice repeating "you haven´t seen/done/traveled enough". No one knows when and how the situation will continue. But the fact is, that the rural life was, is, and will be. Have a beautiful day and enjoy the video that will take you "home" :-)

Simplify your life , Say Hello to No Society .

“The pleasure of modern man is in getting more and more, and what happens to anyone else doesn't matter. But isn't it better to live simply - without so many luxuries and with fewer worries? There is no pleasure in driving yourself until you cannot enjoy what you have.

It takes too much time and energy to keep too many possessions in good order. The truth of the matter is the more unnecessary "necessities" you have, the less peace you have; and the less you are possessed by possessions, the more happiness you have.

Don't get caught in the machine of the world - it is too exacting. By the time you get what you are seeking your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged and the bones are aching.

Man's great need is to find to find more time to enjoy nature, to simplify his life and his imaginary necessities, to enjoy the true needs of his existence, to learn to know his children and friends better, and most of all, to know himself and the God who made him.”

"The days of "Ego Tourism" will be over. The days of slow travel will be back. People will have more time to look for peace, for shanti." 🤩🤗

Post-Covid 19 travellers will be looking for peace and meaningful experiences and tourism professionals should start preparing for that now
