About 185 Jours


Like my mind, this website doesn’t go from A to Z, it finds its path through wandering roads and ever changing chains of thoughts. So welcome to my mind. A digital labyrinth of short stories of my life on the road. Of moments you’ve maybe gone through, or are just about to live. Dig in, wander, play around with your mouse, make it yours. There are three main spaces to explore:


The notebook
A 30-min immersive reading experience about my solo surf and trekking trip in South America. Digitised from my physical travel journals. AI-free, everything comes from a real pen and paper.

The blog, cruisin’ roamers
A collection of travel guides, random thoughts, photo essays and curated resources for solo travellers and outdoor enthusiasts. Updated whenever my mind feels like it.

The solo travel handbook
All my travel knowledge in one place: travel tips, free templates, and practical advice for your next long-term solo travel adventure.

Dig a little and I'm sure (I hope) you’ll stumble across something useful for you.

Happy exploration
