​

Love, sunshine and some adventure inspiration for the holidays! Whether you 'do holidays', or find yourself somewhere wild like me, I hope you are well and take some time to rest, reflect and calm down, as winter intends.

I'm here writing this from my van on the island of Gran Canaria. We just got back from hiking across the island (Wowww so pretty!). Xmas here means relaxing, reflecting and catching up with a dear Ocean Nomads friend who had the same plan as us. No presents. No crazy dinner feasts. I made one of my favourite dishes: Palak paneer. In good company. Simple, wild and free, in nature.

The darker days are great to read, watch, and dream a little more. A moment to gather inspiration for future adventures and lifestyle changes.

Below you’ll find some of my most-loved adventure story videos from this year. I hope you enjoy them 🎥✨
