I'm standing in a corner store in Nicaragua, trying to talk myself into buying a bottle of water from the lady behind the counter. "un botella de agua, por favor" That's all I need to say. I know it, I've rehearsed it, I've seen it [...]
Two years. It’s been two years now that I've been living with no fixed address (mostly in places where there is no postal service anyways). Two years of nomadism, spent living in 10 different countries. I can’t help but be reflective today… As i am [...]
10 months ago. I’m landing once more onto my favorite Island; Bali. I know I’ll be here for a quite a while this time and this is only day 1. I’m ecstatic. I remember that night so clearly. This homecoming feeling. The joy of getting [...]
Four hundred and thirteen people (at time of writing) have been killed and a further 2500 have been injured after a 7.8-magnitude earthquake hit coastal Ecuador around 7pm (GMT) Saturday night. Salty Souls co-founder Marie-Christine Amyot was about 160 miles from the epicentre in the town of [...]
Here I am, back in Costa Rica, 5 years later. It is always a funny feeling, coming back to a place where you’ve been before. Memories come back to mind. You think of who you were with, and how things were at that moment. It allows you to measure [...]
It has become a habit of mine to embark on long trips to distant places, simply to displace myself, to uproot myself from home. I used to think that I left to escape, but now I realize that sometimes I just need to leave, to [...]
Photos par Michael Warchild prisent en 35mm J’ai voyagé dans plus de 25 pays différents dans les dernières années. J’ai eu la chance de vivre des expériences différentes et plus enrichissantes les unes que les autres. De me [...]
Un come-back, si je fais juste me l’imaginer comme ça dans ma tête, c’est toujours un peu Rocky-style : la musique triomphante, la foule en délire, le poing levé… dans ma tête, un come-back, c’est glorieux. Mais un come-back d’une blessure dont la période de rémission [...]
Half a year living on the beautiful island of Bali. 174 days to be really precise. That’s 27 Mondays where I’ve woken up to a bright blue sky and the freedom to manage my schedule. And it’s also a big fat total of 0 days [...]
Here at Salty we're about chasing the epic life. And chances are if you've landed here you share a similar yearning for a more fulfilling life but are awaiting some sort of sign or permission slip to get cracking. Consider this your permission slip. Salty [...]
THE LONELY ROAD Indonesia and all its magic already felt like a simple daydream when I landed in Australia. I was on my way to meet a friend in Byron Bay and I had planed to stay there for a month. It was my second [...]
On the outside, it looked like I was living the dream. But on the inside, I was falling apart. 4 months ago, in the midst of building 2 businesses, prepping my first TEDx talk, and working on countless other projects… I started to break down. [...]
“Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past. Stop planning the future. Stop figuring out precisely how we feel. Stop deciding exactly what we want and just see what happens.” When I jumped on the plane to Indonesia, my first goal was to get lost [...]
Yesterday, for the first time ever since I do yoga, I felt like crying at the end of my practice. I was not sad. I was actually feeling wonderfully relieved! Truly, what I felt is harder to describe… I have to admit I was confused [...]
This story is about being exactly where you want to be, every day of your life. A few weeks ago, I told you about my constant and haunting desire to dive into a new adventure, travel the world as if I was on a never-ending [...]
« Partir » : le plus beau mot de la langue française. Vous savez que vous êtes prêt à l’employer. « Partons. » « Il faut partir. ». Vos bagages sont faits, et vous savez que le passé n’est qu’un amas confus posé derrière vous qu’il faut tenter d’oublier, puisque vous êtes [...]
