2022 Be Proactive Not Reactive
It’s time for a major change in how we’re currently viewing life. Instead of just reacting to this bizarre situation we find ourselves in – along with more and more restrictions placed upon us – we need to start focusing on ourselves and how we want to spend our few years of life on thisContinue reading “2022 Be Proactive Not Reactive”
Reality Check – Real Life Problems Paid Me A Visit – Self Reliant Lifestyle
Hypothesising and philosophising is great when life gives you a moment to yourself to reflect. But then life, especially if you live a self reliant lifestyle, rings the alarm and wakes you up, reminding you about the here and now. Then it ladles lots of urgent issues on your plate and somehow you have toContinue reading “Reality Check – Real Life Problems Paid Me A Visit – Self Reliant Lifestyle”
Firewood from the Forest – Real Country Cottage Life in Eastern Europe
This is the reality of rural living, especially in such a remote area as the Carpathian Mountains of East Slovakia. Winter is fast approaching and it’s a last minute rush to get in as much wood as possible to provide heating during the cold months.

Red Deer Fawn is a Secret Land Rover Fan
Red deer (Cervus elaphus hippelaphus) use my neighbour’s abandoned property as a nursery, as it’s safer than being out in the forest with wolves, lynx and bears when raising their young. Now it’s rutting season, and many hunters are also out and about searching for the giant red deer stags which bellow night and dayContinue reading “Red Deer Fawn is a Secret Land Rover Fan”

Nikola Tesla – Origins of the Creator of the Modern World
A homage to one of the greatest minds which ever lived, Nikola Tesla. Inventor of the modern world, but not the one we live in sadly. His altruistic concepts for the good of humanity were taken and used by those with ulterior motives, mostly greed and power. I visited his birthplace as a sort ofContinue reading “Nikola Tesla – Origins of the Creator of the Modern World”
Dolphins in Croatia – watching Bottleneck Dolphins from my terrace in Cesarica, Karlobag
We don’t always get to see them. Last time we were in the next village and we didn’t, but the time before that we actually encountered them whilst kayaking out on the sea near Karlobag in Croatia. These are Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursops truncatus), and sadly there are only about 220 left in Croatian waters. SeeingContinue reading “Dolphins in Croatia – watching Bottleneck Dolphins from my terrace in Cesarica, Karlobag”
