Dear readers, supporters, content-scanners, spammers, and friends,
Hopefully, everyone is well and in good spirits, without ingesting too many spirits.
As you might have noticed it’s been a bit quiet here for a while, so I wanted to take the time to say “hello again” (cue song by Adele)
and keep you in the loop as to what my Gypsy heart has envisioned for this blog and community for the upcoming months!
Are ya ready? Oki dokey, don’t be mopey, here we go, let the good news flow:
Winter is coming. Nope, that was Game of Thrones. Ah well. Next-level-stories from around the globe are coming! In time for Northern Hemisphere Winter, too.
First of all, I have a lot of fabulous new stories in the pipeline: Of an astral-traveling Hindu priest I got to meet at a vegan hotspot in Ubud, and another one, whom I got to teach about Yoga and meditation and who invited me to a private tour of his family temple, on the island of the Gods.
There will be tales of dancing dervishes and arriving in a snowstorm in thongs (aka flip-flops!!) in Istanbul. Of visiting a sandalwood fabric, getting up close and personal with koalas, and learning from an original Crocodile Dundee- crocodile-wrestler-meets-Spiritual-Teacher in Down Under.
Of swimming with dolphins and exploring mind-blowingly beautiful limestone cliffs in Portugal, and of witnessing Scream-mask-clad Qatari on their national holiday processions in Doha. Plus many more stories, including the best insider tips on exploring Southern Spain and much, much more.

Kudos Maria on your mission to share stories that inspire and spread kindness. I have mixed feelings about the private content. I know many bloggers and youtubers are doing the same. We need to support our lives and talents. I’ve considered the same for my blog and decided that I want it to be a non-commercial space open to all. I hope you build a thriving community that supports you. Best wishes and many hugs my friend.
