The more you look, the more you find. 🐚
Not just places on a map, but parts of yourself you hadn’t met yet.

Travel has a way of pulling you out of your head and back into the present moment: watching light change on the horizon, feeling warm pavement under bare feet, listening to the ocean instead of your notifications. 🌊

When you put your phone down, you realise how much beauty was always there, in palm trees moving with the wind, the smell of salty air, quiet mornings, messy travel days.🌴

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.
Book the trip. Change the route. Follow the thing that makes you feel alive.

Life is happening right now, all around you. 🌍🤍 Will you look up and live it?

Head to the blog to get my best surf-travel destination s of the last 3 years.

...and when you leave your comfort zone, you start

...and when you leave your comfort zone, you start to see the difference more clearly.

Distance changes perspective.
When you leave your home and the familiar circles you’ve always moved in, you suddenly notice which connections truly nourish you… and which only kept you where you were.

Traveling and living abroad means meeting people who walk into your life for a moment, sometimes for certrain time, sometimes just briefly and yet they leave an impact. Others stay longer, grow with you and become part of your story in ways you never expected.

Some people show you what you want.
Some show you what you’ll never settle for again.
Some lift you up.
Some redirect you, sometimes gently, sometimes painfully but always in a way that makes you stronger.

Life in motion reveals what matters.
I'm feeling that wvery encounter has a purpose, even the short ones, even the uncomfortable ones.

Blessings or lessons… both shape who you’re becoming. 🤍

Living in the tropics means Christmas sneaks up on

Living in the tropics means Christmas sneaks up on you every single year. 🎄🌴

One minute you’re barefoot in the sand… and the next someone from home texts “Happy first Advent!” and you’re like "wait… WHAT? It’s almost Christmas again?!" (And it feels like it comes faster every year 😂)

And suddenly you realize there’s not even a full month left to find gifts.

If you’re shopping for a surfer or beach lover this year, my new Surf Christmas Gift Guide might save you a lot of stress. 🌊 Many of the ideas come from my own surf life, things I use daily, items on my wishlist, or little treasures I discovered while traveling.☀️

But at the end of the day, the best gift you can give someone is still the same: time together. 💙

☕️ Coffee for the soul, 🏄🏽‍♀️ Ocean for the heart,

☕️ Coffee for the soul,
🏄🏽‍♀️ Ocean for the heart,
🌊 Movement for the growth that only happens when life keeps flowing.

My Big 3 that keep me grounded and moving forward.

Over the years, I’ve learned what I personally need to stay focused, energized and aligned.
Moving to the ocean was one of the biggest decisions of my life and definitely the one with the strongest impact. So much inside me shifted. ☀️

To workout stopped feeling like something I had to squeeze into a stressful day and became a natural part of a life that actually feels good.

Finding what kind of movement supports both your body and your mind is the key to ease and consistency. 💪🏽

And choosing a life that doesn’t stand still, one that grows with you instead of draining you, has shown me what real balance feels like.

And yes… it all starts with a good cup of coffee. ☕️ 😇

👇🏽 Share with me! What are your BIG 3?

When life feels loud, when decisions, doubts, bloc

When life feels loud, when decisions, doubts, blocks and expectations all hit at once, it’s easy to slip into overwhelm.

That’s when the smallest mindset shifts make the biggest difference.

They help you come back to yourself, find clarity in the noise and move through uncertainty with a little more ease.

These are the ones that helped me the most. Maybe they’ll bring you a bit of lightness today too. 🐚

Why every surfer should have a surf buddy: 🏄🏽‍♀️ 🩵

Why every surfer should have a surf buddy: 🏄🏽‍♀️ 🩵

🔅 The best waves are the ones you share!

🔅 Your surfing will improve faster when you paddle out with people who push you, hype you and celebrate the small wins

🔅the ocean feels even more like home with friends

🔅 you feeling more safe in difficult conditions

🔅 surfing is a solo-journey but also about connection, cheering each other on, swapping boards, spotting big sets on the horizon and sharing stoke

Tag the surf buddy who makes your session 10x better. 🌊🌴🤙🏽

As much as I love and appreciate my long, thick ha

As much as I love and appreciate my long, thick hair — it's becoming a real struggle here in Costa Rica's rainy season. Especially without a hairdryer or anything like that. It’s always frizzy, gets tangled super quickly, and even surfing has become painful because the weight of my wet hair gives me terrible neck pain. 🏄🏽‍♀️🥴

So… I'm thinking about cutting it shorter again. It's been 10 years since I last did that and I remember regretting it. 😂 But honestly, I feel like I’m becoming more practical with age — especially living in a beach town. I’ve been wearing it up all the time anyway, because it’s too hot, gets dirty, tangled or just in the way.

And hey, it grows back fast… so what do I really have to lose?

Should I do it? 🙈

Being an ocean lover means so much more than chasi

Being an ocean lover means so much more than chasing waves.

Surfing isn’t just a sport, it’s a way of living in rhythm with the sea. Moments like the arribada in Ostional remind me how deeply connected we are to the ocean and its cycles of life. 🌕 Thousands of turtles returning to the shore, laying the next generation of life — pure magic. We’ll be back when they hatch. 🐢

Sun, saltwater & surf sessions can ruin your hair

Sun, saltwater & surf sessions can ruin your hair 🧜🏽‍♀️ That’s why I can’t live without my Shark FlexStyle – my day 1 fave. Way more gentle than straighteners or curling irons and the perfect Dyson Airwrap dupe 💙

Why it’s perfect for surfer hair:

* Silky & smooth in minutes
* Easy beach waves with minimal heat
* Compact enough for every surf trip

⚠️TRAVEL TIP: Check the voltage before you pack it! Not every FlexStyle works worldwide. A European device won’t run in the US or Latin America without a converter (not the same as adapter). Trust me, nothing’s worse than packing your favorite tool and realizing it won’t turn on abroad. Who do you think that happened to? 😉

I try to make it to the beach at least once a day, even when there’s a lot going on.

If there are no waves to surf, I still try to go for a walk, read for 20 minutes, or just sit and meditate.
I’ve really noticed what a huge difference it makes in my energy.🧜🏽‍♀️
