Summer bliss!

I just got back from England a few days ago and I'm already on my way again - to the mountains. I'm looking forward to two weeks off to spend some time with my family: just being, laughing and playing, walking, swimming and gazing at the sky.

I have two books in my luggage that I want to read:"The Great Regeneration" by Dorn Cox and"Earth for All" by the Club of Rome. From the very first pages, these books give hope, show how to make a difference, and inspire. If you're looking for a lighter read, I recommend"Rooted" by Sarah Langford, a collection of stories about farmers and their connection to nature, and"Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer, which highlights the wisdom of plants and the principle of caring for one another.

As well as the books, I also packed my sling bag, my favourite companion for travel - and all other activities. It's versatile and functional, goes with any outfit and leaves my hands free while keeping everything I need close at hand.
