Hi! My name is Suzanne.
For more than 15 years, I've been travelling oceans by sail, van & fins while cultivating conscious living 🌱. For years, I travelled on a sailboat. Since 6 years, my adventure basecamp is my campervan, my first car, and my first house. And these days I am deep into long-distance hiking: 11 trails and 2,000+ km on foot, most of it with my dog.
I‘m here to help you go on ocean and wilderness adventures, and share encouragement for a memorable and conscious nomadic way of life with nature. Explore the tips and inspiration on travelling by sailboat, van life, hiking, freediving, ayurveda and natural living, and slow travel.
