POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Everything I had been carefully dreaming of for many years started taking shape last summer when I met @sigridsetsaas. After 10 months of intense planning and taking every goosebumps moment as a YES, we were ready to welcome 12 women from different countries across Europe.

From the moment our group gathered at beautiful @moinhosvelhos, it became clear to me that we can plan as much as we like, but in the end, it is the group that creates the experience.

Thank you to each and every one of you for showing up with no masks, just open hearts, ready to share, connect, learn, and inspire one another. Seeing you determined to show up in the world as you are and shine your true light fills my heart completely. 💫✨

Until we meet again.💛👩🏼‍🦲

About last week 🥰🇧🇷❤️

Obiviously to be magical, it means we surfed a lot 😝

And spent time in the skatepark

Spent few days in Praia da Rosa

Happiness is to have a surfboard in your favorite colour 💜 @energiasurf

Good vibes in the water @val_dri_ca 🤗

Bucket list moment, we were surfing with whales all day!!!! 🥹😍🤩😮🐋

All I need in one pic ❤️

Got this lower lip filler from my surfboard. Lucky to have lips to protect my teeth 😬

My first year as a skater. 😎🛹

The first year was mostly about learning to flow on a surfskate, and a few weeks of a tricky love/hate relationship with a skateboard. 😂

Hands down, the proudest moment of the year was learning to drop in. 🙌

I’m just getting started, but it’s safe to say I’m already addicted. ❤️‍🔥
