After living seven weeks in Nusa Penida, an island part of Bali, but located 30 minutes away with the boat from the main island, it was time to leave. During the past 3 years, while having a nomad lifestyle, this is the most at home I've felt since, and the advice of "leaving on a high" has made the move easier.

I started writing this text upon my arrival, and now a month has already passed since that day. Time has flown. Here, I share a little about what brought me to this piece of paradise and my so-far takeaways from this beautiful journey.

A thunderstorm came together with my arrival at one of the spots to get the bus to the beginning of the hike - lightning, thunder, and a lot of water. The voice that wanted me to stay home came again, saying I should get the first train to go back. I prevailed. 

What started as an experiment became a full-time job and an alternative way of living that I was unaware existed (or was possible to create). It has been three years of learning about places, people, ways of living, photography, art in general, and much more.

I'm no longer "going back" anywhere. I'm simply moving forward. I'm going to places. And from there, I'll see where I'll go next. 

the last days of our trip were comprised in one log, with the highlights being the visit to the worldwide know glacier Perito Moreno near El Calafate, and our last get-together as a complete group dipping in the cold water of the Lago Argentino, “the largest body of fresh water in Argentina”.

After the perfect day we had the previous day, filled with emotions, adrenaline and loads of incredible images to process, today was more about taking it easy.

When the alarm went off early morning, little did we know that this was the beginning of the best day of the trip (and one of the tops of my life experience so far, to be honest).

It’s time to move to new scenery. We hit the road early after a good breakfast at the hostel. El Chalten gave us a beautiful goodbye, with stunning weather and the Fitz Roy showing its full power in the back. Next destination: Torres del Paine in Chile.

The best part of camping is waking up close enough to nature to capture my favourite time of the day - sunrise.  Everything is calm and silent.  The world is just slowly waking up. Serenity best describes the feeling. 

Time to officially kickstart the trip. Everyone got together in El Chalten, and the getting-to-know-each-other process started already with laughs and exchanges of experiences and knowledge. 

The days were intense, with little sleep and loads of adventures, experiences and knowledge to absorb—an immersion in nature and photography. I'm here to write the retrospective memories of this unforgettable journey. In parts, I want to share what we've seen, what we experienced and the feelings it brought up in me.

During the past few years, chocolate (or the term cocoa would be more appropriate) has become an integral and essential part of my life. Here is a little bit about what I learned while visiting part of the Cacao Coast in the Northeast of Brazil.

It has been two months now since I arrived in Brazil. Always when I come back, it is a time of transformation. A rollercoaster of emotions. A period of contemplation about various elements (internal and external). 

A little retrospective. 2022 was a compilation of accomplishments, frustrations, epiphanies, growth, moments of desperation, development and learnings, all between cries and spurs of complete happiness. 

After 2,5 years without a proper routine, adapting to a new location every ten days and mostly eating restaurant food, my body and mind started asking for attention. A change is needed. A break from all. A step outside the buzz to realign routes and understand how to make this lifestyle more sustainable.

Switzerland, oh Switzerland…We’ve always had a bit of a special relationship. What initially started as excitement soon transformed into hate until I gave you a second chance and tried again.

Experiences and encounters that make their mark. A philosophical talk with a mountain sweeper on the famous hiking routes of Zermatt and the life learnings retrieved from it.
