The biggest gift of my life is finding someone who keeps trading one life for another with me, over and over.

We left a good, easy life in the city for a random job in the mountains, no plan, no safety net. He got let go within weeks, no fault of his own. We packed the car anyway and traded that mess for the best ski and snowboard instructor jobs in a resort neither of us had heard of a year before.

We left the temptation of a 9-to-5 in the real world for a longboard and a thumb on the highway, hitchhiking our way through a life with no schedule at all, our dog with us from day one, on every ride, every border, every random floor we slept on.

We left the ease of moving fast for a pilgrimage on foot, Pamplona to Lisbon, because walking for weeks straight felt like the right kind of hard.

We left that stretch of freedom that only Europe gives you, no borders to cross, farms to volunteer on, hitchhiking with no plan, living on the beach when we felt like it, backpacks always on our backs, for a whole life in Central America together.

There’s more to this one. Swipe photo →

Then an old American schoolbus, shipped across the ocean and turned into a hostel on wheels. We guided our guests splitboarding and touring through Norway by day, then cooked for them, kept them entertained, and drove them to the next spot, a toddler on board through all of it. Home and work were the same 25 square meters.

We left that too, sold it at its peak, traded a business that worked for the uncertainty of not knowing where we wanted to land.

We landed in Åre. And in two weeks we are leaving what has been our home for the last five years for a new one twenty minutes further in, closer to the quiet, closer to the big peaks, trading nomadic freelance chaos for work that challenges us in a whole new kind of way.

New chapter again, and we head in not knowing much of what it will bring. We only know it feels right, and that feeling is something we’ve learned to cherish. When that gut feeling vibrates, one step is enough. Not because we know where it leads, the right direction, I don’t think that exists. Life is a windy path, the most beautiful views right next to the hardest obstacles.
