ELINE

I restarted at 27. Because it took me that long to start listening to my inner voice. After studying for 7 years, getting two degrees in architecture and construction engineering, working a 9-5 and leaving my passion for dance behind, I might have been doing well on paper, but on the inside I was slowly dying. I’d always been a creative. I’d always known I wanted to travel since I was a kid. But I didn’t know how to listen to myself, because ‘you need a good degree to be succesful’ - As I was told from a very young age.. So choosing my own path would make me ‘different’, and maybe ‘unsuccesful’? (Whatever that means) The older I got. The more painful it became. So at 27 I decided to book that one way flight. No savings. No plan. Just me listening to my body for the first time. It led me to the most incredible people who tought me more in just a few months time than ever before. It led me to me picking up a camera last year. And that changed everything. I’ve been completely broke, with no clue what I was doing. It’s probably been the hardest year of my life — and yet, I’ve never felt happier or more “successful.” Because I finally found my calling and I finally started listening, and just doing what felt right. Through that I somehow managed to keep on travelling and finding more drive than ever through the people who gave me rediscover my creativity again with my camera. So yeah. Travelling and filming changed me and I feel like my life is just starting now. This video is a reminder never take that inner voice for granted. Cheers #bdacademy #beautifuldestinations #visitdubai

How did it turn out? 👀

Afrika Burn.. I’m lost for words I’m still processing all the things that happened last week. From witnessing and shooting my friend’s most incredible engagement of all time, talking with gods over the phone, seeing hundreds of people run around burning art, laughing my ass of with the best people on the planet, organising an amore themed party at our camp, driving on art cars, watching the most beautiful moonrises I’ve ever seen and dancing til sunrise, shooting incredible dj’s, ppl being unapologetically themselves expressing with the coolest outfits, doing workshops like breathwork, sound healing,… the list goes on and on and on and I wish i could make this post 1000 slides long It was my second burn but this one hit very different from last year. It was an overload of love, with pure joy, laughter, art, making new connections and deepening the ones i already had. You can’t explain it to someone who’s never been, bcs it’s not just a festival, it’s a feeling you can’t compare to anything else. I’m so so grateful for this experience, and being able to live this life. So i can only recommend for everyone to at least once in their lifetime to attend @afrikaburn . Because if you decide to fully be present, embrace the unknown and let go of the outside world, I’m telling you, you’ll have the best week of your life. No phones, fully disconnected from the world, surrounded by an unmatched energy. It feels weird now being back online. And it’s gonna take a while for me to let everything sink in. But I’m already counting the days til the next burn and to get dusty again. AMORE

One camera full of sand later Worth it tho? 👀 Shot for @raman.fragrance Models: @jaden_makes_hats @sachvn

This I call friendship @luisa.penkalla and I met in Bali almost 2 years ago and she very quickly became the yin to my yang. Therefore having our fav indonesian word tattood together on our body felt like a no brainer 🫰☯️ V blessed to do life with you and being able to share another home in cape town! Now on to the next million views? 👀 (to support @slow.life__tattoo with more work since this was only my 9th tattoo in 4 months time xx) Until then, Hati hati ⚠️

Guatemala has it’s own soundtrack Guatemala was never on the list until I booked this trip just a few days in advance. It surprised me in the best possible way. Not just because of its incredible nature, but also because of it’s sounds. And the place that blew me away the most was def Tikal - the ancient Mayan city. ‘Tikal’ literally means ‘city of sound’ and the acoustics there were unlike anything ive ever experienced. The sounds of howler monkeys and hundreds of bird species waking up at sunrise, being amplified by the design of the pyramids gives you a full immersive moment. So yeah this country really speaks for itself. You just have to be quiet enough to listen. Which sound is your fav?? 👀 #guatemala #fuego #tikalnationalpark #lagoatitlan

My highlight from Rio 🇧🇷🥹 Fun story: I was supposed to meet my friend @danymalho at a waterfall, but my uber dropped me at a different spot and obviously there was no connection, so I couldn’t find him. At that point it started poring rain and had no clue where to go. I wanted to hike up to see if i could find connection, but then this group of local strangers - who didnt speak any english - tried to stop me bcs they said it was too dangerous. I then just decided to follow them walking down, and soon they started singing and dancing in Portugese. I loved it so much it was such a vibe!! Made me smile from ear to ear. They tried to make me sing as well but as I don’t know any portuguese songs, they then started singing some english songs, and that’s when this happened.. The power of the universal language of music 🤍🫶🏻🥹

Raw moments from the best day ever The day I’ve exploded out of happiness and love more times than I could count. I’ve ever been so high on life. It was a (birth)day of my dreams and could NOT have wished for a better way to start a new decade, being surrounded by the absolute best crew of people!!! I AM SO F* LUCKY and cant even express my gratitude enough. Cape Town is home because of them. I’m winning in life just by having these ppl by my side 🤍 (and sundried tomatoes) Also SO to the cleaning man for providing me with an unplanned perfect shot x AMOREEEEEEEE

Worth. Every. Single. Second. Of. Suffering. This hike ain’t for the weak. It took about 6h to go up to volcano Acatenango and another 5h back and forth to reach Fuego, all at a constant 40 degrees incline. I made the mistake to wear sneakers instead of proper hiking shoes (too stubborn to think i would need it). As a result, I had zero grip and I was slipping every 5 seconds. If our guide would not have been so helpful to me I would have never made it up. But never thought about giving up tbh. I knew it would be a once in a lifetime experience. But HOWLY F I’m grateful I did it!!! The footage doesn’t even do its justice to how magical this experience really was. So if you ever thought about going - take this as your sign (but bring good hiking shoes pls thank you) insane 🚁 shots by @felix.steinreiber #guatemala #fuego

Time is running.. Saying hello to a new decade, and goodbye to the most transformative one so far. A decade of love, loss, incredible highs and incredible lows. 10 years of living 10 different lives. All needed to finally be where I am today. Already 30 years in, but I feel like my timeline is just starting now. And I’m over the moon excited to see where this decade will take me. A story from the heart 🤍 And for the firs time I explored with the benefits of AI in video creation to create a mini me. Not to replace the footage, but to enhance the story. Thank you @higgsfield.ai

The streets of Rio have a soul that’s unmatched So diverse, so alive, so beautiful I wish I had more eyes to capture everything that happens there. It’s a lot to take in but in a very good way. Def worth a visit!! 🥹🇧🇷 #rio
