Often these breaks for young people make room for great deal of partying and drinking, and depending on the choices each student makes it can either be a very destructive period or an enlightening on – Gustavo’s choice is certainly to make it the latter, and he is not flexible on that.
Fruits and vegetables are always essential for a healthy diet. And exercise will award your body with great energy and glowing skin. This…
A yoga immersion and teaching centre retreat in Goa, India, has just accepted Gustavo’s application. He will be joining them in a few months in order to learn the essence of yoga, and how to share teach it to other people once – and if – he returns to Germany.

“Yoga, of course, is the reason I’m going to India, but the place alone seems so magical and I'm hoping to experience it in depth while being there. Berlin is sterile and cold, bureaucratic if you know what I mean, so India is going to be the exact opposite. The mystical nature of the place, the colourfulness, the exotic smells that make each place unique!

When we ignore those signals and still force them to work, those organs break down. That is why periodic fasting is necessary. Refrain from eating for a full day.

Anyone who has ever walked through a gallery of paintings knows that art really does imitate life. And when you have a background as serene and stunning as a tropical island, the end result is a portrait that makes you long to kick off your boots and sink your feet into hot sand. This is my thought every time my eyes rest on the painting given to me by the eccentric Gustavo Woltmann, a free spirit and artist who I met on a trip to the Island of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. He and I shared drinks and stories over cold beer last year, and it is likely an encounter I will never forget.
