D
utch entrepreneur Bert van Son knows
all about the fashion industry – and the
devastating impact it has on the world.
“I worked in fashion for more than 30
years,” he says. “I saw it change from
something beautiful to a throwaway business. After
taking a sabbatical, I realised it was a rotten industry
that we had to change. So, I decided to use the
money, experience and network I had to create a new
company to do it better.”
The fashion veteran was onto something. According
to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe
(UNECE), the fast-fashion industry is responsible for
4% of global waste production, 20% of the world’s
water pollution, and 1.2 billion tons of greenhouse gases
annually. One of the worst offenders? Jeans. Not only
are they one of the most-produced fashion items, but
they're also one of the most polluting.
MUD Jeans was born in 2012 and quickly hit
international headlines with its innovative ‘jeans
leasing’ model, which allows customers to lease a pair
of jeans for a small monthly fee and then return them

directly to MUD for recycling, or hang onto


them until they’re ready to part with them.
“We named our brand MUD because mud is
one of the most circular resources on earth
– it can always be reused,” says Bert. “We
want our jeans to be like this.”
While denim is often recycled into
insulation material, Bert wants to create
something far more interesting – a circular
economy that turns old MUD Jeans into
new MUD Jeans. Initially, the brand worked
with factories in Spain to create denim with
20% post-consumer waste mixed with 80%
virgin, organic cotton. Today, thanks to
improved technologies and techniques, it’s
possible to use 40% recycled denim.
Paired with other innovative methods
– think biodegradable indigo dyes, ozone
bleaching, and lasers to create a worn
vintage look – MUD Jeans now uses 93%
less water and 74% less CO2 than the
industry standard. As a result of its green
mission, the brand was named Sustainable
Retailer Of The Year 2020 by Dutch bank
ABN AMRO and is one of the five highest-
scoring B Corps in the Benelux.
But Bert isn’t resting on his green laurels
just yet. His end-goal is to create the world’s Above

Every pair of MUD Jeans is made
with organic cotton and recycled

Fresh cotton
MUD’s cotton is picked in Turkey.
It’s GOTS (Global Organic Textile
Standard) certified, which means the
cotton is free from insecticides and
pesticides, and the farmers work in
healthy and fair conditions.

barefoot deep into a wet
forest, chanting a Celtic

is intoxicated by the feel

stone pine, brushing his fingertips against

sniff the air and stretch his lungs. It strikes
me as a weird sort of forest ballet, but in

Wyda – a form of Celtic yoga – is a new

South Tyrol in northern Italy. Yes, Wyda is

your prefrontal cortex, the part of your

what makes it so perfect in South Tyrol
is that it is not a well-known wellness
destination as such.
“We breathe to fit in with the forest,”
says Stefan, gesturing to a clearing where
we stop to gasp in the cool air. “We’ve lost
our affinity with the outdoors and, through
body exercises, we open our mind and soul
to our energy fields. Calm your body and
the rest will follow.”
Not so very long ago, visitors to South
Tyrol – and the Villnöss Valley, where
I am right now – tended to be hikers,
climbers, skiers, snowshoers and sledders.
The Dolomites landscape is so primed
for hair-raising adventures no amount of
superlatives could ever do it justice. But

Keep on moving
We all know exercise is crucial for long-
term health, but huffing and puffing in a
windowless air-conditioned gym? Not so
much. Moving intuitively, and regularly, is
the key. “[In Ikaria] they move naturally,
perhaps by walking to work or the local
café, or working in the garden,” says Meni.
Fishing, goat-herding and tending to the
land are all an essential way of life dating
back generations on this island.

Food for thought


“Ikarian cuisine reflects the typical food
patterns of Greece and Italy during the
early 1960s,” says Meni. “But like many of
the island’s traditions, it has not changed
with contemporary times.” That means
fresh, seasonal ingredients in vitamin-rich
dishes, cooked from scratch according
to recipes passed down through the
generations, and then enjoyed – leisurely
– around the table with family and friends.
This way of eating is as ingrained into the
Ikarians as their unique DNA.

Keep company with happy, caring
people and you’ll be happy and
caring too. It’s a no-brainer, right?
In Ikaria locals are surrounded by
family from the moment they gasp
their first breath, right up until they
take their last. And family here
doesn’t just mean your kin – the
sense of community is incredibly
strong and everyone looks out for
each other. “People driving along
the road stop if they see someone
they know, wind down the window
and ask how the family is,” says
Meni. “There is a genuine concern
for the welfare of others. People
put their family first: they invest in
their children with time and love,
and children care for their elders.”

My boyfriend and I were living in London
for years when we realised that ‘there’s

working in comms and marketing and asked
my employers if I could work remotely but
they said no. So, I started finding my own
clients for copywriting and SEO work to
make sure I had an income. In 2018, we sold
all our stuff and flew to Cuba.
We then travelled, without using any
planes, through Central and South America.
We went to South Africa for a bit and got
to Europe in 2020. We were locked down Sarah’s top tips

In: The Algarve
My wife Angelique and I set up a business
in the world
in Paris 15 years ago, renovating and renting
loft spaces to travellers. It required our
presence and we felt attached to it. We
loved the city, but we have two kids and
thought maybe it wasn’t a place to raise
them. It’s great for couples but we wanted
less stress and more access to nature. It’s
difficult to remove yourself from a business,
though. You’re convinced that stuff needs to
be done a certain way. It’s more of a mental
challenge than a real one. We realised we
could delegate and things would be fine.
So, we moved to the Algarve in Portugal.
Here we have 300 days of sunshine and
live outdoors 90% of the time. Nature is
everywhere – beaches, hiking, surfing,
running. You only need a roof for sleeping.
We’ve become less connected to our
devices, less exposed to the pressure of
advertising. And the kids are learning
a new language really quickly. There are
also business opportunities. We’ve just
opened an apartment building in Faro called
The Modernist, designed for architecture-
loving travellers and digital nomads.
I thought I’d miss culture, but Lisbon is
two hours away and we go back to Paris
every two or three months. It’s made us more
efficient because we have to arrange all the
things we want to do in Paris into those trips.
I don’t know how long we’ll stay here, but
right now Portugal has what we want.

Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut

an incredible rose gold. It’s an
extraordinary sight next to the violet sky –
a cinematic display only improved by my
vantage point high up in a hot air balloon.
After a few minutes I give up and put down
my camera. It turns out not even the most
advanced technology can capture these
Turneresque, sugary colours. I stand in
silence watching the glorious scene unfold
as the wind takes us over the velvety banks
of the Nile to the dusty Luxor Temple, and
finally to an empty field where we land with
a gentle bump, attracting the attention of
a large group of children from a nearby
apartment block.
Until recently, the guides here had all
sorts of tricks up their sleeves for evading
crowds of a very different nature. Luxor is
one of the most popular tourist destinations
in the world, and a trip to the city before
the pandemic meant dodging milling tour
groups and thousands of iPhones snapping
and uploading straight to Instagram. Some
days you’d have to set a pre-dawn alarm,
or even skip the heavy-hitting tombs for
smaller, less-popular ones. On others it
meant paying four-figure sums to visit a site
on a private tour.
Now, all that seems ridiculous. It’s late
spring and I find myself all but alone at the
world’s most spectacular open-air museum.
Empty boats cluster along the edge of
the Nile and entire tombs and temples are
deserted. It’s like we have wound back time

heat and ancient life. The only thing that


jolts us back to the present is a single guard
dressed in white, nonchalantly chatting on
his mobile phone. “Because it’s so damn
quiet,” my partner whispers back.
If you listen closely you can hear the
occasional voice drift over from the boats
that sail up and down the Nile. Outside
the ancient doorways is the sound of the
moving river and chirps from the egrets and
herons that live off it. But inside the temple?
There’s nothing but the fluttering of birds
cooling down in the shade and the whistling
of the wind through empty, dusty rooms.
I had been to the Karnak Temple years
before, fascinated by the hieroglyphic
engravings on the ornate pillars, the stories
of animal gods, the tale behind the Great
Hypostyle Hall and all the extraordinary
statues. I’d made a wish in the lucky pond
and had been overwhelmed by the sheer
size of the place. But the Karnak Temple
is the second-most visited site in Egypt,
and the crowds always felt overwhelming.
It means that, as I stand alone under an
engraving by a British soldier who visited
in 1870 (and who definitely should not
have scratched his name over an ancient
goddess), I understand how powerful
atmosphere can be – and how this soldier
must have felt 150 years ago, overawed by
the beauty, drama and exquisite foreignness
of this ancient world.

trip in a felucca (a traditional Egyptian

city – past Elephantine Island, the Aswan
Botanical Gardens, and the bleak Aga Khan
Mausoleum – that really gives me an insight
into how little life has changed here for
hundreds of years.
On my final night, I reflect on the treasures
I’d encountered during this trip. Both Luxor
and Aswan are so rich in mystery, history
and beauty that tourists won’t be able to
stay away for long. This year, Egyptologists
uncovered the lost golden city of Aten near
Luxor. The find was the largest ancient city
ever unearthed in Egypt, dating to the reign
of Amenhotep III some 3,400 years ago. Its
discovery has been described as the second
most important archaeological dig since the
tomb of Tutankhamun.
This, along with a number of other displays,
will be shown at the new Grand Egyptian
Museum in Giza when it opens fully at the
end of this year. I was lucky enough to go on
a behind-the-scenes tour of the museum in
2019 and saw the beds and chariots that had
been removed from Tutankhamun’s tomb –
bright, burnished and astonishing for items
that are more than 3,000 years old, as well
as dusty mummies in vividly-painted boxes,
extraordinarily detailed ceramics and some
100,000 artefacts uncovered along the
Nile valley. I can’t wait to return to see the
royal mummies of Aten. But I know that I’m
not likely to be able to see them – or the

experienced my first supper club
in the UAE in 2014. A well-timed
recommendation on social media
led to a cancelled dinner reservation
and the eager pursuit of a rare dining
opportunity in the desert somewhere
between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The dinner
was hosted by Ursula, a German expat
who’d lived in the UAE for 17 years. Known
as ‘the camel whisperer’ she reared camels
for a living and on occasion cooked Arabian
feasts for strangers.
Finding her wasn’t easy. A small group
met at a petrol station on the edge of
Dubai. We’d been sent grid coordinates
via text message and after a two-hour
stop-start journey we reached a candle-lit
Bedouin tent surrounded by silky ochre-
coloured sand dunes.
Ursula greeted us with plates of spicy
camel meat burgers, and nearby a whole
lamb was slow-cooking in a traditional
underground oven. The heady aromas smelt
incredible, and instantly I knew I’d struck
gold with this special dinner.
Back then, supper clubs were still a
novelty in the UAE. But while Ursula cooked
secret desert dinners on a whim, one
Emirati duo were pioneering a brand-new

This delicious blend of Arabica and Robusta beans with its perfect

Jelen tájékoztatás nem teljes körű, és nem minősül ajánlattételnek. A 10 000 pontot a Bank a 2021.07.01. és 2021.12.31. között újonnan igényelt és jóváhagyott Wizz Air Hitelkártya
főkártya igénylések esetén biztosítja, abban az esetben, ha a főkártyabirtokos a Hitelkártya igénylőlapon mobil telefonszámot és e-mail címet ad meg, annak érdekében, hogy
az Erste Bank ezen megadott elérhetőségekre, termékeire és szolgáltatásaira vonatkozóan megkeresse telefonon, SMS-ben, e-mailen, internetbanki és mobilalkalmazási

jóváhagyástól számított 60 napon belül, valamint legalább egy alkalommal egy tranzakciót végez a kártyával a kártya Bank általi jóváhagyását követő szintén 60 napon
belül. Ezen időszak alatt a vásárlási tranzakciónak könyvelésre kell kerülnie. A Wizz Air Hitelkártya főkártya elsőként küldött kártyakísérő levelének dátuma minősül a Wizz Air
Hitelkártya jóváhagyásának. Amennyiben az akció keretében igényelt Wizz Air Hitelkártyát a Főkártyabirtokos annak kibocsátásától számított 12 hónapon belül megszünteti,
a Bank jogosult a 10 000 pont megvonására akként, hogy 10 000 forinttal a Főkártyabirtokos hitelszámláját megterheli. Üdvözlő pontok jóváírása – az előzőekben szereplő
feltétel teljesítése esetén a vásárlási tranzakció könyvelését követő három héten belül kerül sor. Társkártya igénylése esetén a Bank nem biztosít Üdvözlő pontokat. Az Üdvözlő
pontokra vonatkozó kiegészítő rendelkezéseket – a hitelkártya számla megszüntetése esetére – a Wizz Air Kártyák Pontgyűjtő Feltételei tartalmazzák. A részletes kondíciókat
és szerződéses feltételeket az Erste Bank mindenkor hatályos Lakossági Hitelkártya ÁSZF-je és a Lakossági Hitel Hirdetmény, a Wizz Air Kártyák Pontgyűjtő Feltételei

összegével megegyező összértékű vásárlási tranzakció után jogosult pontok gyűjtésére, amelyben a társkártyával történt vásárlások is beleszámítanak. A Teljes Hiteldíj Mutató
