Best life starts out of your comfortzone?


Out of our comfortzone.... It would not be easy, but later life would be better....
You know what happened? Follow our story from now....

Our adventure started one year ago. We decided to follow our heart, even it scared a bit. But that's normal when you step out of your comfortzone. We had to make the step, it would be now or never. Because we were getting older. We already got a wake up call. Peter got a severe illness, which made him struggle with pain every singel day. We needed quality time together now, not later. Maybe it will never come. When we made a wrong step, we could go back anytime. But then a least we tried, even better as feeling regrets for the rest of your life. We could be proud on ourselves.

We dreamed about it, many years. We liked the nature, the silence and peace. Just hearing nothing. No neighbors living too close and making noise everyday, no irritations about a too busy private schedule and no stress about your jobb. We went on holidays in Scandinavia (special in Norway and Sweden) a lot of years, we always had to leave with pain in our hearts.

We decided to give it a try and to go, to move from The Netherlands to Sweden. We left everything behind, good jobs, family and friends and all the habits we were used to and felt so save. But we knew it was necessary to get back even a better life.

So it was time for a new adventure together. We sold our house and bought a lovely red house in Småland Sweden. We would have a life with less money, but with more quality. We should work with pleasure.We dreamed about having a nice garden people could visit or pick flowers in. Maybe we could have a small business with flower arrangements. Like we said to every one for years: Peter should go out for fishing, I should take care of growing the carrots and marmelades...
