Women’s Empowerment Through Mountains: Research
Women from different nationalities, different cultures and languages, different past, and stories, meet in the mountains with a goal in common; find themselves again. Mainly because nature is healing. Nature is soft. Nature is powerful. Mountains are the tip of these attributes. For this reason, during my research, I’m going to let other women’s experiences…

Pilgrimage
While delving further into my research that revolves around the meaning of mountains in eastern philosophies, I thought about what would make it easier. If only there was a place that has shares its meaning with all, or at least most of the major philosophies/religions. To my luck, such place indeed exists – the mountains…

The Way the Mountains Feel
I would say I have a good relationship with the mountains, even though I am not a hiker. I like them mostly for the atmosphere there always is and the pristine nature. When I am in the mountains i feel like I am somewhere else, where are only rules of the nature and one has…

Mountains, memories, and freedom
From dawn until dusk, I was surrounded by green landscapes, soft sounds, and colourful flowers while growing up. I started climbing trees as soon as I was tall enough to grab a branch and reached the top. The smell of wet earth reminds me of rolling on the grass under the pouring rain with my…

Inhale. Exhale. The warm feeling of the first rays of the spring on the eyelids. The crunch of snow underfoot. Alone, yet not lonely. Clear sky, clear air, clear soul. I am here. At this moment. Reconnected. Closer I am to the top, the more surrealistic it feels. As my muscles filled with blood get…

A Place of Focus
For as long as I can remember, I have mostly associated mountains with beauty and mystery. The ability to go off the trail and discover a new place, perhaps one that has not been touched by any other human before, is exhilarating. Yet there is one particular feeling which is very close to me when…

What it feels like to conquer a mountain
I think I’ve always had a great ‘relationship’ with mountains. Because I was born and have lived all my life in Šumava, nature and mountains in particular are constantly part of my life. However, what might be slightly surprising is the fact that although I live just a couple of miles from a great ski…

Wonderful, but scary…
Most people see mountains as wonderful scenery far away. As they the whitened peaks of the mountains and the massive mountain structures fielding kilometers and kilometers behind the horizon, this is what I loved watching while my family and I were driving to the Italian mountain complex – Trentino. Other views that most people see…

Ambarino Mountains (Red Dead Journey, PART I)
Hi. Since I wanna make my research topic about a video game, I decided to stick to it since the beginning. So, I won’t talk about my relationship to the, let’s say “real mountains”, but to those from the video game I chose. The Red Dead series is something that’s much more than a game…
