Hi,
on our #familySunday trip, we managed to get today to one of German's mountains, which are covered beautiful in show and ice. We try to go as much in untouched places, which are still wild, and the nature is showing its full gorgeousness.
Will not get into details about the peak, mountain and location, as this will be done in a separate post, as it was an amazing journey.
I want to speak about why we do this. First, to offer real experiences to our son. To show him, how incredible nature is, and that there is something else behind human shallowness. We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful regions in the world, which in 4 hours drive, can cover most of the land types, from very high mountains, to the undervalued Adriatic Sea.
He needs to have healthy values, and seeing nature as it is and enjoy it, is one of the values we want to teach him. Travel is another. Both raise the dopamine level, and also the fitness.
We live in a world where video games are more priced than nature, where hanging out indoors is more sought of than outside, where people brag about a phone, but don't speak about a book read or travel done.
Travelling opens minds, and show that the world has a lot to offer. It makes one humble, and it is showing that there is always a choice. And by picking the right stuff, a lot of opportunities come. Usually, opportunities do not come if you stay too much in house, but this is definitely another story.
We wish him to be free, to enjoy life and moments, and to find happiness in little things. Life, even if short, is worth living.
How about you, do you try to spend time with your family? What are your family values?
