War chest filled. VISA approved. Gear dialed in, Tickets booked. Wrapping up work. The juggle was real, but I’m finally there! Let’s get this (voluntary) homelessness started! Just 2 weeks ago I was cruising through the Sierra Nevada (the Spanish one) with a friend that came over for the week and we were about to…
I will hike 4,200km of the Pacific Crest Trail
It’s a dream, a wish, that has been lingering in my mind for years now. Which started as a little seed planted in my head when I was traveling the USA in 2018. Then visiting a couple spots along the trail in 2019. Which in turn evolved into a ‘maybe I could do that’ in…
Fleeing the Dutch winter. For… winter!?
Not all winters are created equal, okay…? I tend to love winter, when they’re actually wintery. But as of climate change the Dutch winters aren’t as pretty as they once seemed to be, with snow and ice skating. So since there won’t be much winter anyway, why not chase the mid-winter sun in Southern Europe?…
Time for a little update…
As a junior digital-nomad I am always in amazing locations, sitting on warm beaches with my laptop on my lap. Sipping from a cocktail (alcohol-free, it’s during work), and never being stressed. But now here’s the actual summary from the past few months: Where to start…? Oh yeah the last real adventure I talked about…
Let’s talk cell-service
We’re addicted. To the internet. Nothing new here, but it’s a darn tough addiction to beat because it’s not like a modern human can function within society without consuming it. Luckily, it’s not the internet that’s the addictive substance, it’s the apps and services on it that get you hooked. What does this have to…
A relaxed tour along Bessegen ridge – Jotunheimen, Norway
After a small detour I entered the Jotunheimen National Park area and decided I would walk the Bessegen Ridge, A famous -you guessed it- ridge hike that runs all the way along a large lake. It was a beautiful sunny day, blue skies and barely any wind. Quite rare conditions for Norway. So I thought…
A small Jotunheimen detour
Next stop: Jotunheimen National Park! A new chapter in the Norwegian mountains. But not without an unexpected detour first. After avoiding countless sheep just chillin’ on the road and some cows blissfully unaware of what a ‘car’ or ‘road’ is, I arrived at a parking spot without grilled hamburgers or kebab. It was located near…
47km, 2 days – A hike at Rondvassbu, Norway
I just arrived at Ottadalen and found a nice place to park my van for the night. It happened to be a beautiful site with a gorgeous view over the valley. The weather was changing by the hour so I was going in-and-out of my van. But I was able to enjoy a nice coffee…
Chasing the midnight sun in Norway
Moving into Norway the nice, almost-alpine landscapes greeted me. Slowly however the mountains numbed down and fjords started appearing. I was nearing Trondheim, the most northern city in Norway that has something that resembles a high-way. Anything further north and you’re bound to 80km/h roads. Which isn’t a bad thing at all, given the views….
Solo-camping in Fulufjället National Park, Sweden
So now I’m all by myself and to further distance myself from humans I decided I would go for a multi-day solo-hike at Fulufjället National Park, which lies at the Norwegian border. Part of the park is even located IN Norway. The main attraction is Sweden’s highest waterfall. Prepare Prepare Prepare… Since Lisanne had already…
