For the past 14 months I have been exploring what consitutes a life worth
living.
I started my journey resigining from my job as a lawyer to be the carer
for my sister following her open-heart surgery. Facing the possible death
of one of the 2 most important people in my life made me evaluate
what was important and what was not.
Once she recovered, I set off with a one-way ticket to Europe, with a tiny
38 L backpack and no plan. So far I have been to 🇫🇷🇬🇷🇮🇹🇸🇮🇦🇹🇨🇭🇩🇪🇪🇸 and now
finally 🇵🇹.
In my travels, the happiest and most fulfilled people I met were George
and Eleni Karimali, an organic farmer and cook from Ikaria, a Greek Island
in the Aegean (AKA a Blue Zone country).
Their passion for their craft,
care in accomodating guests and purpose to love their land and their life
was truly breathtaking. I learnt how to cook from Eleni and learnt how to
live from George.
Since then, I've had sooo many experiences (both exciting and challenging), but
I have held in my heart that the key to fulfilment is health, purpose in
life, a strong community network and of course, a good dose of
nutritious food
😉.
