What is FOSS?

Gullfoss, Iceland

In Icelandic “Foss” means “waterfall”. I have lived in Iceland for 4 years and my experience there changed me. I met a lot of friends and even family there in a really big part of my active life, so Iceland will be always a big part of my heart. I was living in a really isolated area in South Iceland between the biggest National Park Skaftafell and the Glacier lagoon Jokursarlon. When I came there nature was pure, beautiful and still not touched by human impact. I was living on a different planet.

Svartifoss, Iceland

Completely different world than what I knew till this moment. I loved to travel around Iceland because it is really beautiful around and everywhere there are thousands of powerful and breathtaking waterfalls. Every time I was going as close as possible to the waterfalls to get wet of the mist. In this way, I was a part of nature, so beautiful, so pure, so strong. You can see waterfalls in places where the topography of the Earth is completely changed – commonly formed in the upper course of a river in steep mountains and no matter how unexpected the change of the water flow is it forms beautiful waterfall that blows your mind. After the waterfall, the water just continues running calmly and easily through the valley. It is exactly how the life goes. Everybody has to pass through a big change in order his life to continue much better, much calmer. Iceland was my waterfall, so now my life is running smoother than before. I didn’t realize it but before I went there my life was frozen in a glacier on the top of the mountain and it melted and started to run through the big change of the waterfall to continue much easier and smoother now.

Every time I am close to the waterfall I am taking a part of the powerful mist and it is my source of life and power to continue with all my aims afterward.

The POWER Of  The FOSS

So MY WORLD FOSS is MY WORLD WATERFALL from which everyone can be inspired and can take a part of the mist to be more powerful to continue his/her life. So I hope that MY WORLD FOSS could be a source of life for everyone who is landing on my blog and who is looking for inspiration to live an amazing life.
