My Mission

When I thought long and hard about what I want to do with my life, the same thought kept coming to my mind.

It was to learn to live close to nature, in a sustainable way.

A slow and intentional life where I spend a lot of time outdoors, learning, and discovering different ways we are connected to nature.

To help me on my journey I put together some goals that I would like to work towards. It does seem a lot, but I don’t mind how long it takes me to get there, it’s all about the journey 🙂

1. Learn skills from my parents & grandparents

This includes things like:

growing fruit & vegetables
foraging
cooking & baking traditional Slovenian dishes
conserving & preserving food
building & repairing things

2. Learn skills to live in a sustainable way

This means that I would like to live in a self-sufficient way, as much as possible. It would mean learning about:

consuming less
minimalism
reducing my carbon footprint
managing a permaculture homestead
using renewable energy
adopting a zero-waste approach
upcycling and buying things second-hand
eco farms and tourist farms
beekeeping

3. Embrace mindfulness and slow living

This means finding time for being still, taking time off, recharging, putting my phone away, and disconnecting from the online content.

4. Share knowledge with others and inspire them to take positive action

I hope some of the skills and knowledge I gain on the way will be valuable to others. I want to encourage people to find a connection with nature and its healing powers. My thoughts and ideas from my journey back to nature will be shared on this blog. I will do this with:

photographs
blog articles
videos

This list will be updated as my journey unfolds… 🙂
