Yoga with Chanti Mai

Spring is really in the air and since two weeks I have been giving myself a little kick in the butt: I want to do yoga every day, everydamnday!

Organic Shopping in Amsterdam

Our usual party snacks.

L. and I eat a mainly organic plant based diet, raw where possible. We never eat meat or fish, but incidentally eat a bit of cheese or an egg. The Netherlands used to be bare considering organic stuff but more and more our mega grocer 'Albert Heijn' is losing ground with their traditional supermarket offer and organic shops are popping up everywhere. We are no Berlin or London yet, but we are getting there. 

One week in Taghazout - Back to my winter escape!

You guys may remember L. and I went to work in Morocco's surf capital Taghazout, 20 km above Agadir last winter to teach some surf, photograph and bask in the sunshine for 6 months. We left without being able to take some time off and actually experience the place while being on holiday. Since I was able to take a week off work at the end of January, I decided to go back and spend some time with friends, the sun and the waves. I hadn't travelled alone for a while, not since before I knew L. and so I was a tad bit nervous to be honest. 

Yay - Raw Food in Amsterdam

Rainbow rolls, pumpkin quiche, pumpkin latte and green juice, yum!

There's a new kid in town, and it's called Yay. Yay! Yay is a new raw food place and organic shop, that offers yoga too. As you know, raw food and yoga are two thing L. and I love very, very much. Safe to say we were in there the minute it opened. So, what's on the menu?

Eat Sleep Surf Repeat

My favorite pastime: small lefties on a foamie.

Last September L. and I made a decision. After being together for only 3 months we decided to take up an offer to go to work and live in Taghazout, a small surfing village in Morocco. L. was to teach at a local surfcamp and I was hired to become a photographer at the same place. We loved every moment of it and stayed for 6 months. Here are a few snippets from our adventures!
