The season is slowly coming to an end – and I’m already starting to miss the mountains.
My life before moving here was quite different. Waking up at 6am, riding an hour on a busy commuter train into London and eating breakfast at my desk by 8.30am.
The beauty of working remotely from the Alps is I have so much more time to myself in the morning. I get to practice yoga, meet up with a group of girls to get sweaty with circuit training, go snowshoeing – all before sitting down at my desk at home to work 9.30am.
Yoga is the number one thing that gets me up and awake in the morning. But sometimes you need something else to wake you up, right? I find coffee a bit strong and overpowering in the mornings, but I’ve started hopping on the coconut water band wagon – and I absolutely love it.
Vita Coco have brought out their new flavour – Vita Coco Cafe – it’s contains 100% natural coconut water plus a shot of a espresso to give you that much-needed energy boost in the morning.
Number one tip? Serve it ice cold. We’ve wedged a couple in the snow outside before to keep them cool. When I’ve spent too much time in the shower and don’t have time to wait for the coffee to brew, it’s ideal to grab out of the fridge or throw in your backpack.
After that, it’s back to editing the magazine I work for, Cooler, before squeezing in a run or a walk up to our favourite mountain hut for lunch – La Crapahute. The pace in the Alps is something different altogether. Life is more about getting outdoors and being active, rather than sitting in front of the TV.
What do you find wakes you up in the morning?
