A place in the mountains

Posted on 2020/03/10 - 2020/03/10 by Maja Li

The picture reminds me of fairytales, old, untold secrets, but also of warm summernights next to the ocean under a nightblue sky….actually I took it around 5 o’clock in the morning in Coimbra while we where looking for a place to keep warm until the car rental company would open their doors. But it really feels like a fairytale, to be here in Portugal again, to come back to places which are connected with crazy adventures, which are connected with my journey in autumn 2018…even nothing is the same this time; I’m not on a journey to explore everything new, I’m here with my dad, who’s checking out the last things so my parents can move to Portugal in summer, to the place we all fell in love with. It’s a place full of fairytales and magic, full of strong living-beings with crazy stories, it’s a place in the mountains near the sky, it’s valleys full of fruits  and burned trees, it’s coffee in the middle of the village in the morning, it’s the sound of drums, guitars and singing people sitting around the bonfire, it’s the feeling of connected souls, connected, as all of us here escaped the system.

Nachtzug nach Lissabon//23.02.2020//19:55//now

Posted on 2020/02/24 by Maja Li

When I read the book “Nachtzug nach Lissabon”, I got the idea of taking that train one day…but never thought it would become real that soon.

Now I’m in exactly the same train which Mundus took back then in the book, when he suddenly left his life in Switzerland to start a life-changing trip…For me, it’s a long planned trip, but also I hope to find the answer to a question which I am thinking about all the time since a while…so let’s see where this trip will lead to!

– love, travellers!-

Fruit markets and tropical vibes

Posted on 2020/02/09 by Maja Li

Right now, weather here in Germany  is the complete opposite of typical weather in Rajasthan; it’s cold, rainy, the sky is grey and everywhere people are going crazy bc of the storm which will hit us in few hours…but somehow I’m not that concerned. However, maybe bc of these uncomfy, rough vibes I’m missing the tropical vibes of India; the heat, the sunshine, the palm trees, the unbelievable green of the forest and the warm orange everywhere in Rajasthan…and of course the amazing fruit markets, which we found absolutely everywhere in India, selling all the fruits you can imagine…Of course super cheap and – depending on the season – also very fresh, especially the mangos…so we ended up having several mangos each day…ohhh now I’m missing these days even more…

Camping in the woods

Posted on 2020/01/06 by Maja Li

My lovely dog and me, camping in the forest at the 1th of August last summer. It’s a place near my home, deep in the woods and with a small stone circle to make a campfire, only reached by very few hikers. Also these days, in winter, I’m hiking up there often and planning to camp there again, but also to go on more and longer backpack-tours in nature this year, maybe also in other countries…

About Kasol

Posted on 2020/01/02 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

Kasol is a small hippiesque village in Himachal Pradesh (Northern India), placed next to a river and surrounded  by mountains, forest, and rocks. It’s full of small jewellery shops, restaurants and cafés and attracting  hundreds of Hippies from all around the world each day; it’s a beautiful, multicultural place and great to meet up with other backpackers. There used to be many outdoor parties in the forest around but due to some incidents there are no more parties; nowadays Kasol is famous for it’s nature and as a starting point for trekking tours, which can be quite adventurous. Definitely adventurous is the journey to Kasol; from the next bigger village it takes around 1,5 hours in an usually crowded, old bus, on a small, wavy and curvy road (the only!) next to a highslope and a hundred of meters deep valley.

2019/2020

Posted on 2020/01/01 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

2019 was a year full of final goodbyes, of days filled up with new thoughts, a year full of writing and drawing, meditation and nature, running and Yoga…a year full of delicious food, full of colors and sun and sea, a year with less parties but more time to find the beauty in everything, a year with not many but hard decisions, a year full of new things to learn… I became a Yogateacher, explored India, and started to study Social Work..and finally everything I was concerned about turned out as something positive for my life. However; I’m super thankful for 2019!…and looking forward to a magic 2020 full of love, freedom and life!

In the mountains

Posted on 2019/12/30 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

This is me, probably as happy as almost never before, holding the baby dog of a friend I stayed with in the mountains. I definitely will return to that place in Portugal, as I had an unbelievable amazing  time there  with so lovely people,…but also crazy experiences which made me think a lot and changed my point of view on life…So I’ll write a bigger post about that place and the people there on my other blog as soon as I have enough  time…

Indian shops

Posted on 2019/12/29 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

Indian shops and supermarkets are quite different than ours. This shopkeeper was selling stuff on the street in front of his shop which is placed in the castle of Jaisalmer.

Jaisalmer – about the castle

Posted on 2019/12/29 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

Path through the “castle”, which is actually  a small city inside of huge walls, separating  the houses  inside of the other parts of Jaisalmer. As the people in Jaisalmer told us, the people in the castle are living there illegally; they occupied the castle when it got abandoned long ago…and until now, they’re living there, earning their money with small shops, restaurants and through offering tours to tourists.

Jaisalmer

Posted on 2019/12/28 - 2020/01/02 by Maja Li

This magical place we found in Jaisalmer, in the old castle in the middle of the city, placed on top of a mountain. It’s just one of many shops we found in the castle while following the many paths which are leading to small restaurants with delicious food, homes, cafés with sweet smoothies, to viewing points and finally ending at the huge walls of this castle.
