    Creativity / 26.05.2015

    We're so lucky to be meeting some amazing people on our journey. When we first planned our trip, it was all about the places and experiences. We're quickly realizing that it's the people that make the places more memorable, and really make the experiences. Our first featured friend is Stefan Dahlqvist. We first met Stefan when we arrived in Alta, Norway. He looks exactly like what you'd expect a hip Scandanavian dog-loving musher to look like — well dressed with a heavy beard and 11 dogs in tow. Obviously. What you don't get at first glance, though, is how amazingly talented he is. Stefan has been a dog musher for the past 10 years. He's visited some of the most scenic snowy places...

    We're obsessed with Skillshare. We are genuinely and wholeheartedly in love with it. Little sick? Maybe. But it's why we feel it necessary to write a whole series dedicated to the knowledge-sharing-and-soul-inspiring online platform. Imagine being able to break away from everything that's using up your energy (your work, your friends, your responsibilities), and for [insert course duration] you're locked inside a room with a creative genius, as they walk you through their processes, their thinking, and they share all the little tricks they've learned in their profession, with you. Amazing! Then at the end of said course, there's a little pot of gold with your name on it, inspiring you to pick up your [insert creative apparatus here], sending you...

    After two incredible months of Austrian wanderings, Stevo and I recently packed our four bags (and an extra one full of Austrian snacks including Cabanosi, Haribo gummies, and slabs of Milka, obvs) and departed on an eight-hour train journey to Berlin. Train tracks above the colourful cities running along the treetops, passing through delicate rain showers, next to multi-toned, untamed forests, with winding dirt roads between bright canola fields simply wouldn't be the same without a magical soundtrack. So we attached our tiny white-tree-branch multi-split-headset-adapter (if you don't have one, you need to get one) to the iPad, and placed the ol' Music app on shuffle. Below are some of the tracks that accompanied us on our journey – one of the...

    These are tiny Yeti Monsters. Some facts about these hairy woodlouse: Schnapps runs through their veins – it stops them from freezing. You have probably stepped on one, the snow is filled with them. They know what you say about them behind their backs, so if you're going to spread rumours, spread good ones. The cuter they look, the more evil they are. When two Yeti Monsters high five, baby Yeti Monsters are made. In an average lifetime, they will spend more time digging than not digging. They enjoy Karaoke more than the Japanese. One was found in the Namib desert. He said he was lost. So was the guy who found him. If you listen carefully, and hear them walking on wet snow, it sounds the same as if...

    My passion lies in adventure photography. If you give me a chance, I'll be out in the wilderness with no questions asked. I grew up in a massive city, so the thought of exploring the outdoors has always appealed to me. Today I'm traveling Europe in search of big skies and deep lakes, and I want to inspire you to do the same. It's almost impossible to follow every epic account on Instagram, but I have trawled through countless profiles to bring you the best of 'adventure photography,' including landscape, wildlife, surf and outdoor lifestyle. If your blood runs thick with adventure, but your feed is filled with too many duck-faced teenagers, then have a look at the inspiring list below. @ChrisBurkard – The...

    It's not often you find a company that just gets you. There's goosebumps in the beginning, and you always find ways to impress each other. There's small amounts of compromise, and hardly any fighting. Conversations flow, and there's no complaints when you haven't shaved (um, not that that's ever happened). You get excited every time you see it, and it gives you enough space to enjoy "me time". It's not often you find a company that also stands for something. One that places its people ahead of its profits, and makes long hours feel short. A company whose leaders are "one of us," and whose openness to change and experimentation come with wider arms than that of a Wandering Albatross' wingspan. This was the...

    It's been 3 weeks since we left sunny South Africa, and based on popular beliefs, new habits should have formed by now. The get-up-early-to-get-cracking-with-the-day routine of everyday life should be all but a distant memory. On the contrary, we are on a very strict schedule - those who know me will understand my need for structure (and my love for schedules). Sure, we're no longer waking up to an annoying alarm, but rather allowing our natural sleep cycle to function on its own; and leaving our house doesn't involve long, painful sessions in the morning traffic; but our get-up-early-and-get-to-work habit definitely hasn't gone anywhere. When planning our journey, we spent a lot of time referencing the Godfather of creative sabbaticals, and the...

    Leading up to our departure, we obviously had to get rid of, *ahem, throw away and sell* a lot of our stuff. When crossing borders, every last gram is precious. With a baggage allowance of 30kg each, and hand luggage allowance of 7kg each, Steve and I were faced with quite a feat - how to compress and diminish our entire lives into 74kg. That’s like one person. An average height, average weight human that needed to eat all our belongings, and hop on-board with us. Phew. For those of you who know me well, I am a little bit of a clothing collector…ok ok, clothing hoarder. I own(ed) 7 watches, multiple pairs of boots, tons of dresses, and all the scarves. Well,...
