Ro in Romania; Adventures, Workshops & Heartfelt Reflections
Hello, dear friends!
It feels like ages since I last connected with you, and I’ve missed sharing my journey and hearing about yours. Life has been a whirlwind of adventure, growth, and discovery, and I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates, personal stories, and reflections with you here on the blog.
❄️ A Winter Wonderland: Adventures in Romania
Over the past month, I had the privilege of immersing myself in the serene beauty of Sinaia, Romania. Imagine snow-covered mountains glistening under the morning sun, winding trails leading to centuries-old monasteries, and cosy evenings filled with rich conversations and enjoying romanian papanasi.
This wasn’t just any trip; at retreat with a group of inspiring digital nomads, all united by a shared passion for creativity, innovation, and connection. Together, we explored the wonders of Romania while delving into transformative ideas about community and personal growth. From yoga to thai massage and meditation, I have been delighted to be part of this wonderful event.
One of the most impactful moments was collaborating with RootsHub.ro, a community-driven initiative blending business with social impact. Their work on the Better Neighbours program was incredibly inspiring, focusing on fostering collaboration, kindness, and sustainability in local communities. It was an honour to contribute to their mission, helping strategise and support their efforts for meaningful change.
🌲 Lessons from the Snowy Peaks
The snowy trails of Sinaia taught me profound lessons about resilience, simplicity, and the power of pausing to breathe.
One of the most memorable experiences was hiking to a remote monastery nestled in the mountains, where I reflected on life’s challenges as steep climbs—intimidating at first, but filled with breathtaking beauty when embraced.
During these explorations, I also learned about Romania’s iconic wildlife, particularly the bears that call these mountains home. Hearing about conservation efforts and the importance of protecting their habitat was eye-opening. The balance between humans and wildlife in this region is delicate and crucial, and it was deeply rewarding to learn how we can support their preservation.
Workshops, Adventures & Personal Growth
My time in Romania wasn’t just about exploring the landscape—it also sparked incredible personal and professional growth. Recently, I’ve attended workshops on:
Sustainability: Exploring how small, intentional actions can create significant change in our communities.
Human Design: Learning how understanding ourselves better can unlock purpose and creativity.
Masterminds for Business Success: Gaining tools to build impactful, sustainable businesses.
Each workshop left me energised and ready to craft new ways to serve and connect with you. I will be incorporating these subjects into the coaching experience with you.
🌍 Embracing my nordic connection
Being in Romania also made me feel deeply connected to my Norwegian heritage. There’s something about the snow-capped peaks and serene forests that awakens my connections with Norway.
Hiking through pristine landscapes, breathing in the crisp mountain air, and sharing stories around the fire made me feel grounded and at home in a way that’s hard to describe. It’s moments like these that reconnect us to where we come from and who we are.
Why Travel Matters
Through my travels, I’ve come to realise more and more the incredible value of stepping outside our comfort zones. Visiting new places not only broadens our perspectives but also deepens our understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
By engaging with different cultures and learning about others’ lived experiences, I’ve become more attuned to my own biases and more committed to fostering a sense of belonging in everything I do.
What’s Next?
Here’s a glimpse of what’s on the horizon:
New Workshops: Drawing on my Romanian adventures, I’ll be offering sessions on navigating change, building communities, and discovering everyday purpose.
Practical Resources: Stay tuned for tools to help you manage stress, build confidence, and strengthen resilience.
Blog Series: I’ll be sharing more reflections on creativity, connection, and personal growth.
