A short introduction to this blog and what you may expect in the future.
"Wait, what? You can tell the future?!", you ask. Not so fast. Disclaimer : I cannot and do not claim to be able to tell the future. Now that's out of the way, I will get to the point.
I'm here because I believe I can offer a piece or two of advice regarding specific topics I really have experience with. "Like what?", you ask. The short answer is: planning, packing, executing trips (including camping and road trips); expericiencing the world through a barefoot shoe lens (including running and hiking all year round).
The not so short answer is below this picture of a lovely stretch of an Atlantic coast:
Travel stories and tips
I moved across countries a few times in my life, for work and for fun. Traveling and moving have played a big part in my personal development, challenging me in many ways, some that I didn't see coming. I have really enjoyed the ride (still enjoying it right now!) and while I am happy where I live now, my curiosity to see the world and to explore nature, is still very much present for me. I have lots of tips about solo traveling, about traveling with a partner or moving across countries all by yourself. I love camping and don't do it as often as I maybe could, but I have stories to tell!
What about the barefoot shoe topic?
I always had trouble finding shoes I liked and felt comfortable with, or finding shoes that even fit me (I need a small shoe size, trust me). There was something that just didn't feel right, with all the shoes I ever had. But this changed about two years ago, when I met my now partner, who has been using barefoot shoes for at least 12 years now and his influence was pivotal for me, I have to admit - very happily!
After getting my first (but not last) pair of Xero sandals, I went on to casual, hiking and running barefoot shoes. That mind-blowing, super exciting and satisfactory, big change in my life, is what I want to tell you about, one blog post at a time. In real time, because I still consider myself a barefoot newbie. :)
Now what?
If you are interested in the topics I write about, I hope you'll stick around! Take a look at my blog posts, take a look at my Etsy and Ko-fi pages if you are so inclined, and let me know what you think. I also have a resources section. If you have any tips that I can learn from, resources for someone with small feet with an interested in keeping them strong and healthy, I'm all ears. Let's talk toes and travels!
