San Sebastián bis La Rochelle
♪♫ Waves – Jermey Loops ♪♫
Always along the Atlantic Ocean. Always close to the coast. Permanently with salt in your hair, the smell of the sea in your nose, the wonderful sound of the waves in your ears and never far to fell soft sand an sea under your feet. The very own lovely feeling of freedom, relaxation, discoveries and letting go. Enjoying every little detail.
Apart from the immense wanderlust that always comes up immediately, as soon as I leave my suitcases at home, I also wanted to satisfy my longing for the savage and yet so calming sea.
This summer could only be unforgettable and yet it exceeded ecery single day by a hundred times. And this did not make the first experiences any smaller, but on the contrary, only greater. I travelled through two countries where I always feel at home, the Spanish and French Basque Country with its stunning and impressive coastline, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Landes, Gironde and Charente Maritime. Countless wonderful moments and landscapes like paradise. A feeling that each day is infinite and unique and will remain forever in my heart.
