One of my favorites from Beuda, Spain, on a spectacularly clear night. The brightest dot is Jupiter.

Wouldn't it be amazing if people focused on the things that connect us- the stars, the universe, the creation of atoms, the Earth, life, evolution, the interconnectedness of it all- rather than on the silly beliefs that separate us, or on the self-centered desires for wealth and power brought about by a corrupt system run by lunatics..

War should be considered a complete absurdity, a failure of the human species. A shameful, primitive practice. A loss from the very start.

So long as there are wars we cannot consider ourselves an intelligent species. We've gotten so far in understanding the universe and advancing technology, yet we've gotten nowhere in applying that understanding to our society as a whole. We remain a tribal, primitive society, only now with more powerful weapons and more violence.
What a shame.

How to Shower during a Thru-Hike (in the cold!)

In this video I explain how to stay clean during a thru-hike, even when you have no access to a shower or any large body of water, and even when it is very cold outside and the water is freezing!

I did this the whole way across the Spanish Pyrenees on the GR11 thru-hike and it worked like a charm 😉

Good morning from planet Earth

Instead of humans being tribal, religious lunatics, trade fanatics and war thirsty, they should by now have created a paradise on Earth. Understand their fantastic story and how we are all connected to the other creatures, to the Earth and the universe, in a purely scientific way.

To use our resources to provide for all. To send rockets to the outer space to explore instead to send them on Earth to kill more. To fight with diseases, not with each other.

To grow our minds. Be busy with being smart and curious.

Instead this species is a total shitshow. Bunch of tribes with rockets.

Pathetic.

Day 5 in Alta Garrotxa: turning around

I was freezing in my tent again at night, so I decided to call it quits earlier than initially planned so that I could return it on time. This was a cheap Naturehike tent that was too heavy for one person and clearly not suited for colder climates (even though it claimed to be 3 season). I'll try to invest into something better now 😁

Shout out to Zurawiny‬ and ‪Jorditoms‬ in this video!
And thanks to everyone who's been with me throughout my hiking adventures! ❤️

And my book can be found at www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/book
Thank you to everyone who took an interest!
See you again soon!

Day 4: hiking to Bassegoda Peak!
videos.trom.tf/w/t16tfJvfjrHpT…

Here I hiked from the Talaixa Refuge to Bassegoda Peak, which is the first (or last) peak you can hike on the GR11 trail (Spain). I hid my big backpack in the forest near the Sant Aniol River, and camped there after coming down the mountain.

Day 3 hiking in Alta Garrotxa: videos.trom.tf/w/qBqskfFp9XYxs…

I woke up after a very cold night, cooked buckwheat and soy meat, then lost the trail again 😁

Here are some pictures of the Alta Garrotxa and the night sky at the Talaixa refuge.

Another photo from last night, different tree. The brightest "star" is Jupiter :)

Taken with my phone basically.

Taken now:

With a Pixel 6a. You can see Jupiter in the top center, that bright light. You can also spot the Orion belt right lower side. And left lower side that bright light is Sirus. Lastly see if you can spot Betelgeuse :)

Day 2 on the Alta Garrotxa: I hiked to a dead end, accidentally got onto a super sketchy trail, got lost for a bit, and learned to hang up food for the first time to protect myself from boars! 😁

Gear List for 1 week of hiking

Here's all the gear and food I packed for one week of hiking in the mountains in spring, around the border of Spain and France. Wish me luck! 😄

The best perk to working as a divemaster turns out to be meeting friends who invite you to do cool things like flying! 😁 Big thank you to Yair for taking me up in his paramotor for the most incredible flights of my life! This video is mostly from my first flight over l'Estartit (Spain), the Medes Islands, and the Montgri Castle. Incredible to see it all from above!

Flying over l'Estartit, Illes Medes and Castell del Montgrí

Enormous thank you to ⁨Yair for taking me flying in his paramotor over l'Estartit, the Medes Islands and the Montgrí castle (and elsewhere on the Costa Brava! 😀) This was one of the most amazing experiences of my life!

La Coromina waterfall, Falgars d'en Bas, Spain.

We've had to stick around the Girona region lately due to some doctor's appts, but luckily we found this gem of a place. Espai Natural de les Guilleries-Savassona, just south of the Pyrenees. Amazing place for hiking! And here we found a fantastic free motorhome parking area that even provided free electricity, so we're staying warm this winter 😊
