The art of solo traveling
and the downside of it Photo by Daniil Silantev on Unsplash SOOO, this is a love letter as much as it is a rant. Since August 2023 I’ve been solo travelling and it’s what I really love doing. It’s the best decision I ever made — to finally listen to my heart and follow my dreams. Especially having…

How to know that you’re on the right path
Whenever you feel lost, remember that that’s technically not possible because you are right where you’re supposed to be. Ever since I started this trip through Europe, I haven’t felt lost once. I know I’m on the right path, because I can feel it. Whenever you feel purely free, you know you’re doing the right thing.…

What is this Dharma I keep mentioning?
A guide to you and the meaning of your life Dharma can be translated in a simple way to your reason for being. In hinduism it means something different than in buddhism — a system of law and belief sets. But for simplicity I want to focus on the buddhist translation of it. Ikigai is the Japanese philosophy…

You are right where you’re supposed to be
Travelling teaches you how to not wish you were everywhere all at once. When we scroll through social media we tend to compare our lives to others and then when we actually go to all these places, even the hostel we choose in one city could make all the difference — you could be missing…

Are you here right now?
Are you living this exact moment or are you lost? Did you loose track of time scrolling through social media or your emails (while finding valuable content and inspiration or even being unsatisfied, because nothing really spoke to you?) OR are you here right now?

A story about giving and sucking
just joking its about ENERGY 😉 You all know this one: you’re at a family dinner and it could be fun but there’s this one aunt who doesn’t stop ranting. She’ll rant about the weather first and foremost and then she doesn’t appreciate you not sitting up straight (ugh, your mom shouldn’t have spent that…

Time alone. A poetic letter to you
Time. Fuel me please. Make sure I’ll feel at ease. Whenever you please so, please let me go. Time — what is this relationship of ours? You know I pray to you, but I’m also in fear of losing you. You’re not a constant but you aren’t unreliable either. Some love you, others fear you,…

You can always say NO and you need to
Before I knew my first boyfriend, I was dying to finally know what it was like. My first “relationship” I’d had being 10 years old. I had been so convinced it was necessary to connect on new levels with other kids I was “attracted to”. BULLSHIT. Enjoy not being in a relationship unless it’s the…

What does being present even mean?
Engaging with your senses. Seeing the depth of green of the grass in front of you.Admiring the wisdom of the trees and watching them wave at you.Smiling while the birds and bees and butterflies dance their dances.Listening to the story the flowing river is telling to nobody in particular.Feeling the prickle of the sun and the…
