My Journey: Discovering Adventure, One Step at a Time
My path hasn’t been a straight line.
For a long time, I tried to fit into what felt like the “normal” life—study, work, keep going. I started teacher training, but quickly realized the system didn’t align with who I am. So I stopped and began working in hospitality. Living on my own, juggling multiple jobs just to get by—life felt more like survival than truly living.
Still, something kept pulling at me.
A quiet but persistent urge for freedom. For meaning.
I tried to build my own business three times.
And failed each time.
Not because I wasn’t capable—but because my heart wasn’t in it.
The shift came during two canoe camping trips in Sweden and Norway.
For the first time in years, I felt real calm.
No pressure. No noise.
Just nature. Simplicity. Space to breathe.
Back in the Netherlands, I tried to return to that structured life. A job in recruitment, a routine that made sense on paper. But when I got the opportunity to work in Sweden, something clicked immediately.
After 3.5 months there, I knew:
I couldn’t go back to living between four walls.
Today, I live and work fully outdoors.
I consciously choose less—less distraction, less noise, less pressure.
And in return, I’ve found more.
More peace.
More clarity.
More freedom.
With BareWanderer, I want to inspire others to take that same step.
To step away from what no longer feels right.
And move toward a life that actually feels like theirs.
Because sometimes, a freer life begins
by going a little further than you’re used to.
