I am a remote worker, a freelancer, a surfer, an outdoor enthusiast, a wife and a mum. Another travel blog… You might ask yourself? Yes, this blog is about travel and work, and how to combine the two, or at least try to. And what special things to take into account when you are making this your lifestyle. And how …
Our Northern Portugal road trip through Montesinho and Peneda-Gerês National Park: toddler-friendly hikes, campsites, hot springs and vanlife
A weekend in Puentedey, Burgos: the village built on a natural stone arch, the via verde walk to Cascada de la Mea, and a free camper stop.
In March, I went to Ethiopia for a Photovoice project in Sidama (the southern part of Ethiopia), but as usual. This meant flying into Addis Ababa, as well as spending some more days there. Though the city has a reputation as a transit hub (the airport of Addis is one of the biggest hubs of Africa, which means you can …
Every time I say we’re going to Brazil, people assume Rio. Sometimes São Paulo, mix some Salvador da Bahía in there. Nobody ever says Espírito Santo, and honestly, that’s fine with me. (You know I am a sucker for undiscovered and off the beaten track destinations.) My husband has lived in Vila Velha since he was 20 years old and …
I once asked ChatGPT to create an image of me while remote working with a toddler. What I got was… adorable fiction.Me, smiling serenely behind a laptop on a sunlit terrace. Coffee in hand. Ocean views. My toddler happily playing by herself in the background while my work somehow magically gets done. Yeah. No. Real life looks more like a …
We didn’t move to Cantabria by accident. We left the sunny south of Spain on purpose as we were in search of waves, green landscapes, and a community of people that felt more like us. Knowing it would rain more. Also knowing there would be days we had to stay indoors. And still, after months (okay, a year) of scrolling, …
If you’re anything like me, the category ´I want to travel as much as I can, work on the road, surf new spots aaah and I have a baby that comes with a bunch of luggage now´, you know that every euro counts when booking flights. Over the years, I’ve become a bit of a flight-hacking ninja (ha!), squeezing the …
I’ve had a lot of questions ever since we did the house exchange last December in Calgary, Canada (check out our trip and what we did there, in winter, with a 15-month old). I understand. I, too, thought this was something you only see in movies (and ok, with the slight chance of jusstt having Jude Law standing there all …
Let’s be honest, whatever your situation as remote worker, you need some remote work tips, because “working from anywhere” sounds reallyy awesome (like, Bali, palmtrees, warm water surf and tortillas for dinner) until you’re answering emails with one hand, havig a toddler yell ´mama caca´ through the door while you´re in a call, and your “desk” is a slightly crooked …
There’s something about the ocean that has always called me. And when I became a mum, that call didn’t disappear—it just got a little quieter, buried under nappies, feedings, and all the little (and big) changes. I used to paddle out to clear my head. Now, I paddle out to remember who I am in a storm of different identities. …
