1During my gap year, I spent a week with a family in a mountain village.

2They lived in a wooden house that had no electricity or running water.

3Every morning, I helped the grandmother feed the chickens and collect eggs.

4The family grew all their own vegetables on terraces behind the house.

5In the evenings, we sat around the fire and the grandfather sang old songs.

8They gave me a handwoven scarf that I still wear every winter.

9That week taught me more about happiness than any book ever had.

10I understood that a simple life can be full of warmth and meaning.
