What to expect and to look forward to:

  • Personal reflections from an introverted HSP’s point of view on an often stressful modern world that comes with its challenges.
  • Musings on my way of living a slow, simple & quiet life – and why it’s a very happy life for me.
  • Stories of my quest for a life closer to nature.
  • My monthly reading adventures (aka book reviews). From children’s books to novels and non-fiction, I read very broadly. At the moment I have a particular fondness for nature books and travelogues, but I’m always curious to discover and follow up on something new, so expect the one or the other special edition on a topic.
