A volcano. That is often how others describe my persona. Calm and seemingly dormant, until the intra becomes unbearable and erupts. My posts on this blog are yet another eruption. Sharing what is broiling inside of me is equally a challenge and a liberation.
Along with my many thoughts, and stories, I’ll share some of my favorite recipes. In my eyes clean and organic nutrition is key in living a life beyond limits. So are lifestyle choices.
My name is Carol and I grew up in the realm of the Swiss Alps. I spent most of my childhood in the woods, chasing my brothers and inventing games. I have vivid memories of times spent in the Czech Republic with my beloved grandmother, picking blueberries and hunting for mushrooms. She unconsciously taught me a lot about nature, family and the roots we grow and should never forget.
Most of life’s important lessons I’ve learned through sports. There is so much power in moving freely and freedom in moving strongly. I grew up a tennis player, training in Switzerland and Argentina, before landing a scholarship in the United States. After university a transition to trail and sky running had me complete several ultra distance races. There is beauty in overcoming obstacles and there is peace in just being. Finding a balance between challenge and calmness is my way of living beyond limits.
