Everybody probably knows the expression “when you can make money with what you love to do, you won’t work another day in your life”. That is exactly how I started to live since I quite my corporate job at Nike in 2016. Started to listen very closely to my heart and focus on the things that truly make me happy in life and give me energy. Among them are travelling, kitesurfing, sailing, entrepreneurship and helping people.
I’ve started off with small projects that would test my entrepreneurial skills. Eventually combining two big passions by starting a travel company for kitesurfers in 2018. Organising all-inclusive package trips to Brazil, Madagascar and Oman. This company is named ‘Ultimate Downwinder’.
It didn’t scratch my itch completely, I was missing something. From a very young age I’ve been on the water with my parents and brothers. Whenever the right weather conditions were there, we would take the sailboat out and sail on the lake in front of our house. The feeling you get when sliding over the water using a natural element is amazing. It brings you into meditative state and calms the soul. This is what I wanted to integrate in the Sailing2Wellness experience.
Personal growth has played an important role in my life as well. Reading self-help books and listing to inspiring podcasts are part of my weekly routine. The exercises and rituals provided me with balance during the most challenging chapters in my life. I see them as an essential part of my personal development and made me a more grounded human being.
