High above the clouds at Maïdo, Réunion Island 🇷🇪 Driving up to almost 2,200 metres above sea level, you’re rewarded with one of the most spectacular views on the island: the vast Cirque de Mafate, a dramatic volcanic landscape of deep valleys, rugged peaks and tiny villages hidden in the mountains. No hiking required to enjoy this incredible view — just a winding mountain road and a little luck with the clouds. 🌿⛰️ Réunion keeps surprising me. The ocean, the mountains, the volcanoes… such an extraordinary island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. #ReunionIsland #Maido #IndianOcean #SailingLoveworkx #TravelReunion

I'm in my fourth year sailing around the world. In Lombok, I rowed to a client's boat every morning. A turtle on my left, the beach on my right. After just the first session, there is hope again. Mauritius, Réunion, online with the Netherlands, the work travels with me.Sailing and couples therapy go seamlessly together. loveworkx.com

Checking out from Medana Bay Marina in Lombok, Indonesia was smooth and easy. I leave with a warm heart and so much gratitude for the beautiful time I had here. Thank you to everyone at the marina for the kindness, help and unforgettable memories. Now it’s time for the next adventure — sailing toward Mauritius. 🌊⛵ If you want to follow me live, please check my trackingpage: https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Loveworkx/

Before sailing 3600 nautical miles from Indonesia to Mauritius, I’m testing all essential navigation and communication systems on board. Checking the Iridium GO! exec, Garmin GPSMAP and the chartplotter image on my iPad to make sure everything is ready for the long solo ocean passage ahead.

The rainy season in Indonesia was supposed to be over… but early May brought one more massive storm. Within minutes, rivers of water were flowing through the marina. Parts of the dock were damaged and the land alongside it started washing away into the sea. Life before a 3600 nm Indian Ocean crossing is never boring. #Indonesia #RainySeason #SoloSailing #MarinaLife #IndianOcean

A quick stop in the Netherlands — tulips, a windmill, and a street organ… and soon heading back to Lombok. Two worlds, one feeling of freedom.

You have probably noticed that I am sharing my first videos about how I prepared myself and my boat for my circumnavigation. These videos were originally in Dutch, and I am now creating new versions with more explanation and an English voice-over to take you with me on my preparation journey. In May, after cyclone season, I’ll be sailing on toward South Africa and sharing new videos from sea again. Thank you for following along and being part of this journey. If you’re curious about preparing for a circumnavigation — mentally or practically — ask me anything in the comments. I’d love to connect.

I am currently writing my book in Bali. My diary notes and photos on hold the heartbeat of my voyage—moments of wind, sea, and silence. Now I’m weaving them into a story to be shared.
