2019 was not my favorite year. But it was one of the most important ones so far. It was a year of change, endless learnings, self-reflecting and set-backs that turned into relief. 2019 was necessary to set the path for all the goodness 2020 has in store for me, for us. Today, I am thankful for…
While I could start this post by writing about all the ways I have been busy over the past few weeks, highlighting all of the wonderful things that I get to experience, fact is: August was a lost month. It was beautiful, it was sunny and warm. I travelled, I spent a lot of time…
Hi, my name is Viktoria Louise! While most of you know me as Vicky, the full name my parents gave me at birth is Viktoria Louise. And even as I write out those two words, it feels strange yet familiar at the same time. Just like it feels a bit strange to have been working…

Two weeks ago, I boarded the A380 heading from Vienna to Dubai for a super short (but very meaningful) lesson on wellbeing at The Retreat Palm Dubai. The idea was simple: “Fall in love with taking care of yourself!”. The motto hit home with me at an instant. Possibly due to the fact, that taking…
Strange thoughts cross our mind during sleepless nights. I don’t know about you, but when I lay in bed, wide awake my thoughts usually start to wander in all sorts of directions. Generally speaking, the journey is a worrisome. Troubles that seem minor during daylight suddenly feel like the end of the world past midnight….
First things first: I am not a fan of relationship advice. At all. I hate it when people judge other relationships, think they know you better than you know yourself or feel the need to give their (unwanted) two cents. Why?

Well, that escalated quickly! A good 10 hours ago, we were at the airport waiting to board to New York City with a 1.5 hour delay. So I decided to use the question tool on Instagram Stories for the first time and posted a “ ask me anything” call to action. Little did I know…
