⛵️Sailing Adventure Opportunity Summer 2021 | ⛵️Sailing Adventure Opportunity Summer 2021 | Spain to Portugal!💙 I always thought sailing was for the rich or those growing up sailing. But over the years I learned the opposite is true. Sailors are free spirits and ocean-minded people. Dreaming and living the simple life on a sailboat, set off to explore the world, and live life on their own terms. Next month we unite a bunch of Ocean Nomads in Galicia. With a couple of @oceannomads.community member vessels we set sail to explore the Rias, Islands and head a little more south following the seasons, where we end the trip dropping anchor in Porto. It’s a unique and accessible opportunity to sail with young adventurous live aboards, in their soulful nomad homes, to meet fellow ocean nomads, dreamers and doers and explore if this lifestyle is for you or to simply keep that salt in your veins. Memorable moments and beautiful connections are guarenteed. We had a cancellation and one spot came free! Here are more info’s https://oceannomads.co/camino-de-santiago-by-sea…/ The doggie will join too 🙃🐕🙂 Or sailing around in Galicia with your own vessel? Come raft up with us! Optional adventure add on: walk back to Galicia on the Camino the Santiago Also there are still a few crew spots available for Expedition ON Leg 1) Netherlands - Madeira and Leg 2) Madeira - Canary Islands More info’s at www.oceannomads.co Ocean Nomads aims to connect more of you to nature and each other. With sailing trips, expeditions, and community. What we all learned (again) the past year is that one thing is for sure and that’s nothing is for sure. Now is the time to make the dreams real and anticipate for all that there’s to come. I cannot wait to sail again, create memories, exchange ideas, and meet-up and team-up with more of you. Jump on board: www.oceannomads.co
Team Explorer watching cow television tonight🥰🐄🥳 Seeing the world through his eyes, my eyes, and the binoculars is magical memorable moments guaranteed. And what’s more worth than an accumulation of memorable moments? You tell me. I only picked my 🐕 buddy up last week and can’t imagine a life without him anymore. We laugh, we love, we live, and wonder the world. Especially about cows. What happy memorable moment have you watched or experienced today? See, explore and wonder. Be curious yet informed and create your own opinion based on your own explorations 🌱 Happy, good and funny things happen all around but only when your tune into it and be present ❤️ Focus on that and feel what happens 🙃 And adopt a dog if you’ve been considering this 🥰 Your life will never be the same🌱 Ps. Team explorer 💃🐕 is going sailing mid August from Galicia to Porto with @oceannomads.community It’ll be small sweet budget (&dog friendly 😁) ocean nomads member expedition aimed at getting you out at sea, to connect to nature and fellow oceanic lifestyle designers. Details up this week on oceannomads.co You can join with your vessel or as crew. If you could use some fresh & ocean perspectives, this trip guarantees some 🌱💫⛵️ Prior to the trip we also host an ocean nomads meet-up. Not a member yet? Join the family 💙🌱 OceanNomads.co
Ocean adventure time! Who dares?⛵️💙 Repost Ocean adventure time! Who dares?⛵️💙 Repost @oceannomads.community ・・・ 💙 Expedition Applications are open ⛵️🐬🌱 If two-thirds of our world is ocean, why do we spend most of our lives on land? There’s a whole watery world to be explored out there. Exploring by boat gives the ultimate feeling of freedom. You just go where the wind blows. It’s a fairly natural and adventurous way to travel long distances. A sailboat can bring you to places where no one else goes, while being entirely surrounded by nature. And wildlife! You just must experience it for yourself! Our drive: connecting you to the ocean and each other! And to facilitate this we have an epic expedition planned for this autumn that you can join! With Expedition ON, we are sailing from the Netherlands to Madeira (1700 NM | Leg 1 ) and Madeira to the Canary Islands exploring the remote islands in between (350 NM |Leg 2) onboard Twister, a classic 36 meter schooner originally built in 1902. A hands-on voyage for life together with a like minded bunch of Ocean Nomads, driven by passion and purpose for the love of the ocean, exploration & creation of a conscious, true, authentic lifestyle. Expedition ON is an experience unlike anything we’ve ever organized. It’s offshore and on a bigger vessel than our usual flotillas. SV Twister allows us to connect more souls in one place, away from civilization where we disconnect from everything but each other and nature. On arrival in the Canaries we’ll do a raft up with other vessel members in the zone and celebrate the live for the ocean 🌱⛵️⛵️⛵️ Led by our Suzy @oceanpreneur who also joins the voyage. We believe our ON expeditions are just the beginning for plotting the next course in your life. By jumping on board this voyage, you will also join our growing global network of impact-driven travellers, ocean entrepreneurs, sailors, (free)divers, surfers, and active salty souls passionate about the ocean and eager to do good. On our community hub we talk, take action, team-up and meet-up beyond our events and expeditions to maximize the impact, fun, and ripple effects for ocean adventure and action.

Simple, Wild & Free. That’s pretty much the summ Simple, Wild & Free. That’s pretty much the summary. I left pieces of my heart in so many places. This year’s nomad basecamp was a tough one to leave. It just couldn’t get much better, healthier, and happier. 🙊🙏🍀 After half a year of island style, barefoot and bikini living, becoming way too tanned, sandy, salty, and a lovely circle of nomad friends around, I made a move. I have 1000s of pictures and stories worth sharing but life is too short to be with the phone too much. For me, for you, for everyone. Some things are left to wonder and to be simply treasured in the mind. Or to share around the next bonfire or sailing passage. Here’s a little selection of the good memories of 2021 so far, from the wild and sunny island zone. So grateful 🙏 Especially for all those who were there to share. This week I moved some mountains to pick up my adventure buddy 🐕🙊🌱🍀🙃A 2 day ferry and 1400 km later we are united 🥰 An exciting new chapter ahead! I just made the biggest commitment of my life, so far 🥳 And adopted the best adventure dog in the world 🌎🙏 Up next: Heading West. Slowing down. And staying curious. Slowing down needs to be the main theme for now after 2 weeks of hustling and bustling across the country🤪 I’m having similar sensations after arriving from an Atlantic crossing. Wearing shoes feels strange, the traffic is overwhelming, the social happenings are fun but with schedules I’m not used too anymore, people are glued to their devices, all and everyone goes so fast. Including me. I can’t keep up. So I won’t😊 Now slowwwwly making my way from the Basque Country to Galicia for an @oceannomads.community gathering this summer ⛵️⛵️ And to simply be. Keep growing 🌱 Improving 🏄‍♀️🧘‍♀️ And building on the ocean projects 🏋🏼‍♀️💙 This autumn we sail from the Netherlands to Madeira to the Canaries with Expedition ON on a +100 year old schooner! ⛵️ Navigate to OceanNomads.co to apply and jump on board with me. There are still a few spots! #oceannomads #oceanlover #vanlifespain #vanlifeeurope

Connect to nature, prioritize play, say no to plastic, fix, create, simplify, use what you got, and only what you need, buy little and buy local, explore more, team-up, walk your talk, stay curious, stay wild, stay pure, eat plants, spread kindness, be aware of your privileges and act accordingly, use your superpowers, and have breakfast from the pan now and then. You’ll save some dishes. And water. And time 🐒🏄‍♀️🧜‍♀️ If we all try some of this, a little, every day, a healthier ocean and you is the way.💪 What little habit have you incorporated for a healthier you and the sea?

⛵️Sailboat life or 🚚 camper vanlife🌱 Wha ⛵️Sailboat life or 🚚 camper vanlife🌱 What appeals to you most? I’ve been exploring and experiencing both ways of life and travel for years now and I love both nomad houses in their own way. 🚚🏄‍♀️🧘‍♀️What I love about vanlifing is to be slightly less ruled by the weather. I say slightly because I’m still obsessively checking for the best wind free but wavy spots each day. But without the dragging anchor part. 8 hour nights of sleep are pretty much guaranteed, unless it’s weekend and neighbours throw fiestas ;). Vanlifing I also find easier to do solo in terms of money, time, and situation solving. I don’t like the diesel and noise part. But I’m not even using a 50l tank a month. I go very slow hehe 🐌 ⛵️💙🧜‍♀️ The sailing life just brings next level exploration, disconnection and power by nature not able to achieve in any other way. Sailing into a country, island or remote anchorage is such a special experience. And being propelled by just wind can’t be beaten. 🌬 You can join me for an experience like this this autumn with Expedition ON where we sail Netherlands - Madeira - Lanzarote on a +100 year old schooner! ⛵️🙃 Remote we’ll go! 💫 Learn more & Apply NOW on oceannomads.co 🚀 @oceannomads.community We already have a few dream chasers signed up who are all dreaming of living self-sufficient at sea and jump on this expedition to build on the skills and like-minded connections 🌱 Whether it’s by ⛵️ or 🚚, slow travelling nomadically with your own house🙃 is a mix of freedom, connection to nature, and simplicity that I don’t seem beatable in any other way. It comes with tons of challenges too and there are always trade-offs but hey that’s life. And adventure. And character building 🙂🌱💪 What are your curiosities with this way of life? Let me know in the comments what you would like to know or learn. I can tackle your question into this upcoming talk! 👇 I hardly do scheduled happenings and talks.But this time I thought hey, why not?

I found a waterfall🙃 (see stories😍☘️) An I found a waterfall🙃 (see stories😍☘️) And this water fall creates a pool of fresh water on the beach with low tide. It’s like a natural infinity pool. In the wild. For free. On the desert island. What an experience 🌱🙃🙏 Especially for my hair 💫☺️💃 It’s these little discoveries that put a big smile on my face 🌱 I often receive the question with what I wash my hair, do the dishes, and clean. In most cases I don’t use any ‘thing.’ I don’t see a need. I made a spray bottle of fresh water and a bit of vinegar to rinse my hair after swim, surf, and mermaid time. Salt water is not the best for the hair and balancing the PH like this seems to help. If the situation becomes critical I use a shampoo bar. I have the same one for over a year now. They last🙏 and come without plastic fantastic. Sometimes I create a hair mask with coconut oil, olive oil, or almond oil. The dishes I clean in the sea with sand. I also have a little jug of dish washing liquid I refilled in an eco shop in Portugal last year for when there’s a need. I use it pretty much never. Water and vinegar for cleaning the tiny housy on wheels. Baking soda for absorbing smells and more hardcore cleaning. And for deodorant and tooth brushing. And I have a big block of ‘jabon de Marseille’ for my hands and clothes. I think all together we ‘clean’ wayyy too much. And way too chemical. Why? Out of habit? Because the ad says so? Chemical cleaning is not healthy for you, the environment, your wallet and often doesn’t even work. It may smell clean but you can achieve that in a natural way too. Try it. I wrote a blog about eco friendly shampoo and soap considerations. You can find it on Oceanpreneur.co (link in bio) What do all you salty souls do to keep your hair healthy 💫 ?
💙Treasurehunting in the wild🐒🕵️ I’ve 💙Treasurehunting in the wild🐒🕵️ I’ve been treasure hunting on the wildest beach of the Canary Islands. The views, the waves, the vastness, wildness and no signal are the treasures I found🙃🏄‍♀️🙏 And a seaweed snacky 😋 And a few local characters🕺🏼But that’s another story. I also found bottles, bags, shoes, a few dead birds, fishing lines, and kilometers of microplastic disco ‘sand’, and 🧤 gloves, and 😷 masks. Pretty much every day I find a mask or glove in the sea or along the shore. I lost count. My wish for all living beings is that we approach a new normal by simply breathing the wild and considering the wild. 💙Your breath🌬Your most valuable asset (see previous post). 💙The ocean🌊No one’s asset but everyone’s responsibility. And dependency. The ocean and any living being on this planet should not suffer the consequences of human short term responsiveness against nature. Nature is to be left alone. And to be explored.🐒🏄‍♀️⛵️🧜‍♀️Afterall, the pursuit of a healthy ocean and lifestyle are one and the same🌱💙 🤔What stuff have you found in nature? And how does it make you concerned? Some good news too! Efforts of local clean up organizations don’t go unnoticed. Big shout out to @cleanoceanproject @limpiaventura 💯 Locals and tourists are talking about it, seeing the difference, on the beach and analysing the trash collections points, and contributing to it. Seeds are planted. Conversations are going on. Keep going. 🌱Read more about the plastic challenge and solutions considerations in my book Ocean Nomad and on my blog www.oceanpreneur.co 🌱Join the @oceannomads.community to accelerate the conversation and ocean exploration ⛵️💙⛵️🌱⛵️ Last DAY to join as Founding Member for just 2 coconuts / month! 4 spots left) www.oceannomads.co Links in Bio Photo4 by @karym_ahmed_photography 🙏
