On the eve of my 27th birthday, I conquered another fear: swimming in the open sea. . I almost drowned 3 years ago in Bali (don't tell my parents) so getting over it and enjoying the cold water was a huge milestone. . Change is happening, I can feel it. Happy birthday to me. Good luck conquering more known and unknown fears. . 📸 by @nickidist . #nofilter
Reminiscing about my last hike in #Switzerland. I miss pushing my body to do more than sit on a couch or sit in front of a laptop at work. . . . #glaciertrail #zermatt #slowtravel #solofemaletraveller #hike #mountains #nature
I'm trying this new style of photography called "It's okay it's blur" and "it's cool that there are strangers in your pictures because that's real life". . Here's a shot from every single day I explored the north coast of Spain. Starting with #Zaragoza, I was caught off guard by the city's cold winds, beautiful churches and delicious performance by Allegra Levy in a jazz club RIGHT BELOW MY HOSTEL. . Then, I went to San Sebastian and kayaked for the 2nd time in my life with @emyoons, lmao. I not only hung out with the best people on the planet, they also made sure I was well fed for three full days. Thanks @jun.and.tonic and @charmainelynn for letting my brain take a vacation too. . After they ditched me, I headed to Bilbao and was reminded of how much I love art at the #Guggenheim. Then I got the rental car to head further towards the north west. I also got over a fear I didn't know I had. "Driving alone on the wrong side of the road in a country whose language I don't speak" and "oh fuck my phone isn't charging I'll be lost without it" is what I'm calling that mild anxiety that plagued me the second I got the rental car. . That said, it was a great great trip. I partied by #Oyambre beach, I drove almost 400km in two days and I even learned how to say coffee with milk in Spanish ON MY OWN! The best part of this trip is that I've proved to myself I can still have incredible adventures on my own. It just takes a little patience and a little courage to get to where I want to be. . #sansebastian #Guggenheim #gatzelugatxe #picosdeeuropa #asturia #onis #lagoscovadonga #spain #roadtrip #mountains
The countdown starts today. 3 weeks till I leave for another 3 months. Staying at home for 6 months has got me excited to leave and explore. So where should my first hike take me? . . . . . #remoteworklife #summerscoming #Switzerland #hikeinterlaken #interlaken #mountains
A snapshot of the 3 days I spent in the ocean marvelling at fishes and turtles and ONE manta ray. Those 8am wakeup calls were 10/10 worth it and I am now a certified Advanced Diver!!! . The last picture is me sunburnt, pimply and happy. 🙃 . BTW, I got the most insane toothaches underwater and cried every time it happened. Any dentists know what's up? . #ocean #blue #Bali
@etakate celebrated her love for George yesterday and I'm lucky to have been a part of it. 💖💖 . And then I said something ridiculous and cracked everyone up. Heh. 🤗 . Love you long time, a really long time, and I wish you ALL THE HAPPINESS AND LOVE AND ABUNDANCE this world can give. 💐🌹 . YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYAAAAAAAAAAMYAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMSENG! 🍻🥂🍻🥂🍻 . Wait, I also need to give a huge shout out to all the amazing women Kate has been so blessed with. Y'all are nothing short of amazing and I'm constantly awed by every single one of you.
My first trip of the year! Wait, did I take 3 months off to learn to play the ukulele, read a tonne of books, puzzle till dawn, sign up for vocal classes, start climbing and practice yoga more consistently? . HELL YES I DID and it was good for my soul. . This is me in Ubud, getting random strangers and my driver to take ridiculous photos of me by this massive waterfall. . I fell in love with Bali and decided to extend my stay for a week BECAUSE I CAN... And it felt like a real treat. 💖 . #solotraveller #bali #digitalnomad #waterfall #indonesia #treatyoself wow my #hashtag game is off.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @kowpowwww! The fam misses you! Keep doing what you're doing, the world needs your music and your sourdough bread. And if it all goes to shit, I'm always only a plane ride away. 💖
When I went on my first solo backpacking trip, I saw a painting of Edith by Egon Schiele in a museum in St Petersburg. His brush strokes and colours blew my mind and I made a mental note to visit Vienna to learn more about this man. 3 years later, I finally made it to the Leopold Museum where they were commemorating the 100th year of his death (a bunch of really talented people died in 1918, Gustav Klimt too). . A whole floor was dedicated to his life and his work so I spent my Sunday afternoon getting lost in his world. There are a couple of Gustav's paintings here as well. ;) . . . . . . . #art #egonreloaded #vienna #austria #slowtravel #nomad
