Willi is getting ready for another big powder hunt in our mobile home „Ferdi“! And how to start the season better than with a great interview on a great blog. If you ever wondered what is going on in the skiing mind of Willi, wonder no longer, read it here! READ THE FULL INTERVIEW

Finally, we are back on the road again! We survived the dull, normal and uneventful time at home with our boring friends and family… Just kidding. This is the great thing about being a part time digital nomad! You get the best of two worlds and you can’t decide what makes you more happy, the stuff that happening around you at the moment, or what’s going to happen when we load our camper van and hit the road. We are at the beautiful coast of Galicia already, surfing, eating Mareens delicious food, working, driving and sleeping. But we almost forgot to show you this beauty! We reported on our trip through Croatia last year, on our first big trip as digital nomads. And now we created a video of it! Lean back, turn up the volume and enjoy the ride!

It was a bit quite here the last couple of weeks. Since we got home from our winter snow trip we had to work pretty much here in hamburg. Unfortunately there are a few things you can’t do out from a rollling office. Specially not when you own a bikini company. But finally we have new plans! And guess what? Yes! Surfing! Bali we are coming! Next week we will leave hamburg for some warmer waves and until then we will show you some more flashbacks to our big journey where the idea of MYMARINI SWIMWEAR  was born! 

With both of us working on MYMARINI full time, we could travel the world endlessly in our mobile home. But we chose to not abandon our friends and family completely, they are too important to us. Instead we go on trips 2 to 3 months long and then come back to our home base in Hamburg for a few months. That way the contrast between travelling and living comfortably at home is really high, letting us enjoy both even more! It really is such a joy to see good friends and family after being away for so long. But then the itch also comes back to jump back into our second home on wheels and hit the endless, unknown road… We just had such a time of friendly and known faces, of allot of good talks, of sitting comfortably on the sofa beneath the Christmas tree and watching the nieces play. But now it’s time for us. It’s time to modify our mobile home “Ferdi” to make it a super deep temperature, snow eating machine …

The Internet changed our everyday life allot. Apps help us communicating with far away friends, navigation is a lot simpler, and we get the information we are looking for –instantly! In our case the Internet made possible a whole new way of life. We do what we think is right, always. We are not only our own bosses and decide when we work, but also where we work and how long we work (which is often too long ) But this is only because we don’t see our work as work anymore. It is really fun to do something that you think makes the world a bit better and makes such a life possible for yourself at the same time. Often (maybe too often) it is really difficult to stop yourself from writing the next blog post, implementing the next shop feature or designing the next bikini. We have to hold ourselves back from working too much and go out and see the world, that we are travelling. Of course it’s a big step to …

Several weeks have passed now without being able to surf, so we decided to do a little hiking to keep our athletic spirits up. The peninsula of Pelješac in Southern Croatia is excellent for this as there are many hills and mountains, the highest being Sveti Ilja at 962 meters. It is a little creepy hiking here during the off-season… The only people we saw on the way up were two Croatians in a jeep, armed and ready to hunt for wild boars or to protect themselves from wild dogs… Aha! Luckily we met neither wild boars nor dogs and instead met a Swabian couple with their very sweet dog Holly on the peak. Once we reached the top of Sveti Ilja we were awarded an epic view – on one side we could see all the way to the mainland and on the other, the island of Korcula and past it (it was a clear day) we could see Italy.  Amazing and totally worth the adventure! The scent of sage filled our nostrils all …

After 24 hours of driving and two nights of sleep we finally arrived at our first stop – Croatia! On the Island with the funny name “Krk” we immediately did what we so long were looking forward to: Windsurfing and connecting to nature! We felt the wind, we were refreshed by the water, we ate the most delicious figs from the tree and grilled our steak by the fire… somehow our refrigerator was inspired by getting back to the roots and did what materials usually do naturally, namely nothing… One moment in paradise, the next in a hot pursuit for getting the fridge fixed. Not an easy task in Croatia, especially since this system is absolutely foreign in this part of the world. 24 hours later we find our selves pedal to the floor speeding back to Austria, the only place with a new replacement… Once there just meeting the deadline for the closing shops we couldn’t believe it. Our good old fridge seemed to be reanimated by the dare devil trip – it’s alive! …
