Skiing holiday – Katschberg, Austria!
Introduction
Hello everybody, I’m back again with a travel blog! As I won’t do too much apart from skiing the whole week I will only publish one piece from here!
We arrived yesterday, Saturday at a beautiful, little mountain city in Austria, named Katschberg! The weather is perfect and it also seems to stay like that for the whole week. The hotel/ accommodation is super fine and everybody’s very friendly! Our first dinner was quite basic, as they wanted to find something that everybody likes. With that, we ended up with Spaghetti Bolognese, but they were super fine and tasty! From tomorrow on we will be skiing for around a week and enjoy a vacation!
Skiing
The area is not as big as some others in Austria but super fine for a one-week stay! Our first day on, for me, new skies went great and we had a sunny one with around -6 degrees! I’m not all too sure if the snow itself is real or artificial snow, but nonetheless, the driving experience was really good today. For our first day we’re more or less finished with activities, going to play some card games at the dinner table and edit an article for the next release of EsportFire!
On day two we were blessed with a beautiful blue sky. The temperature was a bit colder and some wind came up overnight. Overall, the skiing tracks and snow was still amazing to ride, probably the best I have ever witnessed! I’m still a bit down and out of power more quickly due to my covid infection two weeks ago. Was in the spa area and sauna over the afternoon and will again play some card games after dinner.
The following days went by very quickly and I just enjoyed being around my family and having some time to relax. The first two, three days always go by rather slow, while the remaining days of the week pass very quickly. We kept our schedule the same over the whole week, were skiing from 10 am to around 3 pm, and relaxed in the afternoon. For the last few days of the week, I came back to do some work for 2-3 hours before dinner. A daily routine I could get used to, sadly, as always, the holiday time ends way too quickly.
Some thoughts
One of the most beautiful things about skiing is for me the freedom my head and thoughts gain. While skiing and also during the transporter, I never use my phone. I´m alone with my thoughts and enjoying my time in nature. That´s a feeling I and maybe also some of you rarely have during normal work or school days. I came up with multiple ideas that I noted down and will make reality within the next weeks and months. Although it was one of the first holidays within the last years, it was also one of the most productive work weeks input-wise. Sometimes less is more and it´s time for me to finally realize that after months and years of working way too many hours a day.
Final words
Currently, it´s one day after we came back home and Sunday. I feel a bit tired after playing till 1 am yesterday but set up everything for my stream and after finishing today’s article I currently work on EsportFire with my friend and coder. I decided that I finally want to try streaming on Twitch in the evening. It´s something I thought about doing for years and finally concluded that it’s the time to try it out.
Thanks, everybody for reading. Hope you´re all having a good time and if not I´m sure that will change soon! Stay positive and spread some positive vibes, in real life and on social media, there are never too many of them! Feel free to tell me one of your travel experiences below in the comments. One of the things I discovered for myself over the last few weeks is that I want nothing more than time away from everything that is my everyday life. Not cause my everyday life is any bad, but because I love the feeling of discovering something unknown and new for me.
