2025 Recap from the Wild + Slow Adventure Travel Stories & Tips


โ€‹

Happy Full Moon! & 2026

The biggest treasures arenโ€™t the grand milestones but the smallest, simplest joys while working toward the bigger goals and adventures.

The little things and joy found in living a life connected to nature, whether Iโ€™m traveling in my van, hiking, camping or sailing the seas.

Like:

  • The moments of finding flat spots to pitch and park, and water to drink.
  • Legs that carry me across trails
  • Being in good health
  • Friends, family and love that appreciate me with my wild nomadic lifestyle.
  • The Ocean Nomads nomadic nature network family sharing and caring for each other
  • More outdoors than indoors
  • Showering in wild hot springs, rivers, or the ocean.
  • My tiny house on wheels, still rolling strong after 5 years being the main basecamp!
  • Waking up to my own rhythm, free from alarms or schedules.
  • Stepping out of the van, barefoot, into random wild places.
  • A house on wheels thatโ€™s still rolls
  • No accidents or sickness
  • And becoming an Ayurveda wizard
  • To be in balance with whatever life brings
  • Just to live with nature

Itโ€™s the small, raw, real moments that make you feel SO grateful and ALIVE and remind me why I choose to live this in this nomadic way in nature.

That said, I'm ambitious and so driven to connect you to nature and a life in tune with nature.

Two big things I worked hard on and I'm really proud of from 2025:

1. I restarted my Youtube channel to share deeper tips stories from the slow wild adventures, and 5000 of you joined me this year! That's wild, isn't it?

2. Ocean Nomads Community officially exists 5 years! A network built on shared experience, trust, and learning by doing. The kind of support and community I missed when I started out. Rooted in sailing, open to all nomadic adventures, guided by respect for nature and each other.

If that vibes, I hope to welcome you in there sometime!

What's next? I'm actually still resting and reflecting. What's for sure is that I'll continue to create more stories, and deepen my skills and knowledge on healthy nomadic living and Ayurveda.

If you donโ€™t feel the 2026 reset rush and renewal, relax, you are in tune with nature โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ซ Our yearly (Gregorian) calendar is built for logistics, taxes and deadlines.

Nature follows a different one. And many cultures do so too. Starting fresh in spring, in tune with the seasons.
โ€‹
We are in the midst of winter. Nature is resting. Winter is for slowing down, rest and reflection.
โ€‹
Not for building and suddenly starting a new you.
โ€‹
Read, reflect, drink herbal tea and make a campfire๐Ÿ˜Š

And celebrate the full moon this weekend! ๐Ÿ™ƒ which is naturally a good time to complete, wrap up, and celebrate.

I wish you a wild, curious and healthy new calendar year, in tune with nature ๐ŸŒฑโœจ๐ŸŒ–

โ€‹Favourite tips & toolsโ€‹

My favourite book on living with nature: Moontime! Found it in a 2nd hand book shop in a remote french ville. Life has never been the same.

โ€‹Masala Dhaba Spice Box. This is probably my best investment ever.

I'm also investing a little bit in gold and silver when I can, remotely, with Goldrepublic.

Today's Cup of Tea with Suzy ๐Ÿซ–

CCF Tea!

It keeps me balanced while living a nomadic life in motion. It's simple. Blend cumin, coriander & fennel. Let it sit in hot water. It keeps the digestion calm and the body and soul rooted.

Happy wildful 2026!
May your clothes smell like campfire
the shoes be muddy
the nails dirty
the memorable moments wild and outdoors
and the heart be full! โค๏ธ
