So, what’s our story?
It all started years ago on the beautiful sandy beaches of Tulum. A Swedish yoga loving health freak met a French cave diver with a passion for photography and – with the risk of sounding very cliché- love happened. Since then, we’ve traveled around the world to discover new places from the Komodo Islands in Indonesia to the Nepalese Himalayas, to finally end up in Sweden where the health freak got her Bachelor’s in biomedicine.
After all those adventures, we’ve decided that Tulum is where we want to be. Here we feel at home, under the swaying palm trees and the Mexican sun, where every day brings new surprises and challenges. The lifestyle is simple and we love it. To us, it’s all about enjoying the moment and noticing the small pleasures of life. This is what we want to share with you; a little piece of our paradise. Being a professional diver since 2010 and a yoga instructor trained in India, we want to share our passions with you, to maximize your holidays, and to make you feel safe and happy.
