Road trips are fantastic when you know the best hotels to stay in and the best areas to visit. Sterzing is the northernmost town in Italy and one of the highest towns in the Alps. With the Austrian border located just 15 km away, you can easily combine a trip to this pretty little town with visits to Innsbruck, Merano, and Bolzano.

Beauty. Trust. Breath. Progress. This is what comes to mind when I think of springtime. The arrival of spring shows us renewal. How can we approach the transformation of our own being?

Bolzano in Italy, and more specifically the South Tyrol province of Italy is one of those places for me. When I was a kid, I used to travel to Bolzano from Munich with my family. My parents were often guests at the Hotel Greif; the location right on Walther Square is unbeatable.

We celebrate International Women’s Day annually on March 8th to commemorate the achievements of women throughout history. It’s a day to reflect on the progress women have made while also recognizing that there’s still a lot of work to be done.
I happen to find vegan baking very exciting, especially this blueberry vegan muffin recipe. I’ll let you in on a little secret. This vegan muffin recipe for oatmeal muffins is really just Muesli in muffin form. Except for the maple syrup and coconut oil, they are just as healthy as a muesli bowl – but so much better and so much more enjoyable!

The F.X. Mayr fasting cure is an immune-system-boosting fasting detox. It’s a way of healthy living and a phenomenal means to clear the mind. (I also consider it the best body detox!) When I did my first F.X. Mayr fast 20 years ago, tea fasting was the most common introduction to fasting. During this type of fasting detox, you only drink water and herbal tea as well as a vegetarian broth during the mornings for minerals.
