Welcome to episode 1 of my new series, Matcha Talk — basically my little relaxed space to share proper life updates and talk through the big decisions that don’t always fit naturally into a vlog. And because I’m a matcha person 100%, it obviously couldn’t be “coffee talk.” In this one, I’m opening up about why I’ve decided to leave Copenhagen. After four years of traveling on and off (starting with my first solo trip to Sri Lanka), I’ve realized the “travel blues” I feel when I come home don’t really wear off — and when I’m in places like Indonesia or Japan, my inspiration peaks, my insecurities drop, and I feel like the opportunities are less limited for me right now. So here’s the plan as it currently looks: I’ve booked a one-way ticket to Bali for May 11th, I want to live in Indonesia for a couple of months (maybe Lombok too), and then head to Japan where I can hopefully do part of my studies while working with a Danish travel company. On top of that, I’m training for two marathons (Paris in April with RUNNA, then Copenhagen in May). No, it’s not “normal,” and I’m not chasing numbers or PBs this spring — I’m focusing on fueling, recovery, and enjoying the experience. I also talk about swimming as fun active recovery (and no, I’m not doing an Ironman — never, never, never) and how I’m balancing an online degree with building a life abroad.
