Big Announcement: New Name & Lots Of New Destinations Coming Up!


Hi Reader

Have you noticed that big desicions sometimes are made in a fraction of a second?

Like deciding to buy a new pair of jeans can sometimes take longer than deciding to buy a house?

That is exactly what happened a couple of weeks ago, although truth is told, it has probably been a process brewing for a while before the grand decision presented itself.

The next time you hear from me, it will be from the brand new website epicnomadlife.com going live later tonight!

For several really good reasons, I have moved all my travel content over to a new domain which will allow me to expand my travel content beyond focusing exclusively on the Caribbean region and the Americas.

Moving forward, I will start implementing quality travel content from other corners of the world as well!

You can initially expect to read about wonderful destinations in Europe and the polar north - destinations that are unique and offer completely different journeys than tropical beaches and palm trees.

The focus will still be directed at solo travel and epic adventures for grown-ups, tours & expeditions, smart travel hacks, and off the beaten track destinations.

I am really looking forward to sharing broader travel inspiration from incredible places like Svalbard (where the polar bears roam), Tromsø (where you can experience the Aurora Borrealis), and picturesque villas in the south of Europe with secluded Mediterranian ambiance.

And a lot more!

Until next time

Have a great week!

If you’re like most adventurous travelers, I am guessing you have at same point craved feeling the pulse of a vibrant city and the serenity of untouched nature preferably on the same journey? I know I have! In today’s travel scene, especially traveling women are embracing the beauty of contrasts more than...

What kind of traveler are you? Are you the one who likes to wing it throughout (because that is "real traveling"), or are you the meticulous planner who gets a dangerously high pulse when something (minor) ruins your perfect itinerary? Truth be told, I am kind of the "wing-it"-type myself. But over the years I have learned (sometimes the hard way) that planning can significantly improve my travel experience in all aspects. Things like research transport options is a great example. I did not...

Sometimes life-lessons comes from the most unexpected of places. When I was about to start the last few miles of my (amazing) trek in the Colombian Amazon jungle, we stopped at a Wiva village (the Indigenous people of this region) to be blessed by a shaman. This was a trek I did on my first long solo trip, a six-month journey alone in South America. During this 4 day trek in the Amazon, I had noticed that the indeginous Wiwa tribe had a very close relationship with nature, and connected this...
