On my way!! First part of a month-long trip Amsterdam-Austria-Slovenia-Croatia & back again! Bon voyage to me ;) Excited, expectant & slightly nervous!
Double rainbow : a good omen!
Good news: had some sleep & breakfast; first sighting of the mountains under snow!! Also: 2 hour delay, missed connecting train, extra stop in Salzburg.
Mountains with snow on tops! Rivers! Forests! Austria is pretty…
Arrived to Villach! Staying for two days in Thermen/spa hotel… with a view to the forest & pool ;)
Any hills are a miracle for a Dutch person… & such dramatic sky!
This is for Nana & @bert_hubert
Beautiful nature in the hotel-park…
I miss my cat!!! here’s a souvenir he gave me just before I left… :)
Early morning beauty @ Warmbad … (alt text: geyser, turtles all the way down, curly mossy hazel, rustic train station)
I’m looking forward to the Vogons placing such a sign above Earth: “you are in a sensitive wildlife habitat! >civilized< creatures must be kept on a leash!”
It’s snowing in paradise!
Dynamic opposites : snow & steam, birds song & me floating in the warm water…
Good morning to the day of train-travel to the next stage of trip… starting relaxed: waking up with birds in dawn light, packing, saying goodbye to hotel plants & enjoying a pre-swim breakfast!
Natural hot-spring!!! (pun intended…) Villach Warmbad, Maibachl
No time to tweet, now that the work started... so just a throwback to the old message ;-)
Dog Spa
Cat Spa (thanks, @risataki )
The trip continues… looking back on few impressions from #SEE10
Invigorating evening with enthusiastic people, in creative space of @RadionaOrg & sharing beers & snacks with future HR.NOG (or C.O.G. ?!) in Zagreb ! Thanks to @ripencc & Jelena, Ivana, Deborah, Ivan, Mario*3, et. al
First sighting of the SEA!!! Rijeka/Opatija
… few hours later I was already swimming! In the sea! Brrrrrr!
Good morning from Opatija! First real vacation day: calm dawn, choppy sea & mass tourism;)

Glorious cats, amazing plants (part 2)
Glorious plants (“Američki Vrtovi”) & feral cats in #Opatija
Cloudy day. water temperature 13-14^C!! I still swam, & loved every second of it ;)
Frolicking in cold water today was invigorating!! Playing with waves… enjoying the sunshine… & trying to take selfies ;) #Opatija
Such a different day today… my last in #Opatija: no wind but no sun either. Good for walking along the coast: Lungomare. Cats & sea & sky…
Leaving Opatija in the rain… Suitable good-bye for this part of the adventure… &.. for the first time I’m in a @FlixBus !!
It me :)
I’m so happy!!! Trip went fine, I’ve arrived in Kranjska Gora, made new friends, have a wonderful view and a huge room for the next 9 days!!! I even had time in Ljubljana to get a new undercut;) upwards & onwards , to the new NVC heights !!
Being in Slovenia/ Balkans makes me remember all the beautiful lubricant of songs in my native language(s)… “Imala je lijepu rupicu na bradi” : open.spotify.com/track/79YRItIJ…
Can’t get enough of this mountains view!!! I’m literally in the clouds!!!
Ako hoćeš da dodješ/te u Četvrtak u Kranjsku Goru na NVC kurs tokom dana ili samo uveče, to nam je Open Day… dobrodošli ste!! // friends & family are invited to the NVC open day on Thursday in Kranjska Gora - let me know if you are interested!!
Day 1: Bambi, river, cat, Rumi
I’m blessed with this view: dawn on the snowy mountain peaks…
Early morning walk… it’s almost like Nepal! In Kranjska Gora.
I am pretty and powerful today!
The lake… is magical!
It is our wounds | that create beauty, | and connection | when shared with another. #NVC
En-light-tened
Waterfall, real close & personal
Wounded pine / oozes amber. In the sun / we cry together.
Me & my shadow. Light plays on the stream, clouds, mountains, snow, forest, willow, “pupoljci” …
