I’ve been living in the UK now for over three years. In that time several people have asked what keeps me here and my answer is always short and simple - the landscapes and outdoor adventures.

This past month I went on a mission to find brands from the UK and Europe who know a thing or two about functional clothing for outdoors and that’s when I stumbled upon Astrid Wild.

There is a majestic presence about this place and it offers a location to retreat and escape from the busy touristy spots that are prevalent in Bali. At Bali Eco Stay they have made it their mission to be working with nature, as every aspect of the resort has been carefully thought through and built with the preservation of nature in mind.

The Ocean holds a special place in my heart.

I grew up with the west coast at my finger tips, traveled to the east coast shores for holidays and now currently live on an island surrounded by the sea (England for those who are curious).

The sounds, the smells, the view that sucks you into the beautiful abyss – it’s nothing short of magical.
