Surfing in Morocco – Waves and Camels

Five years ago I met a guy on a layover in Doha. We started chatting and over the next six hours we got to know each other a little bit. Since then this “guy” does something that many of us would only dream of. He travels the world to surf. After several stops in Senegal, Indonesia, South Africa, me and two friends decided to visit him in Morocco. Seven days on a roof-top terrace, good vibes and great waves – that’s surfing in Morocco.

Surfing on Nusa Lembongan – The tiny island with crystal clear waves

The waterproof watch says it’s shortly after 6 am and I’m the only person in the lineup. I solely share it with some friendly fish swimming through their home, the reef just in front of Nusa Lembongan. Shortly after dawn, the water is still crystal clear. Just before the set waves roll in, the ocean is calm and peaceful. The following article will summarize everything you need to know for enjoying surfing on Nusa Lembongan.

Surfing in North Spain – Camper Van Life with a view of the Pyrenees

As a landlocked surfer in Germany you always think about Where do I have the next chance to jump in the water?. Sometimes I also tend to think first of far and expensive destinations. Mostly that’s not necessary, though. If you are ok with wearing a wetsuit, some world-class surf spots are in driving distance. Here we go – Surfing in North Spain!

Wasserbüffel in Simeulue

Surf in North Sumatra – Get barreled in pristine nature

We came because of world-class, warm water waves but didn’t expect the island to be that unique. The little-known island Simeulue on the north-west coast of Sumatra and its distinctive water buffalos feel like traveling in time, perhaps even to a different planet. In the following article, I will share my thoughts and tips of our first stop in our three months’ trip through Indonesia. Surf in North Sumatra – right on!

Surfing in Lanzarote – plenty of great waves!

Surfing in LanzaroteThe following guest article is written by Marita. She’s 27, works as a freelance journalist at a newspaper sports desk and always looking for adventures on our planet. Especially meeting new people is what makes traveling so special. Beside that her big passion is music, loves filming and the Spanish language, sun and surfing of course. A little “too much respect” was most likely always the reason for an excuse not to surf until a friend convinced me. Since then this is what traveling is about. While researching the internet for new surf inspirations she stumbled upon wavesnbackpack and now shares her knowledge on surfing in Lanzarote. Enjoy!

☀️ Winter seems almost over. In the last days, we’ve  been enjoying every free second in the sun. Life’s just completely different with sun rays in the bedroom after opening the curtains. ☕️
⠀
We carefully started thinking about the first travels. Portugal? Spain? France? Greece? 
⠀
▶️ What’s your shot - where would you go as soon as you feel comfortable to travel?

🌅 Sunrise in Nilwella, Sri Lanka. Fishermen coming back from their shift. How happy they have been, when we asked what they caught. Not a lot but extremely proud to show us. 🚣🏿‍♂️

🌞 Enjoy your start of the day! 🥰

To be honest, during the last evenings we talked a lot  about potential next destinations. Incredible how bad we miss everything about traveling. We really hope to be able to leave Germany in April.

🥸 Did you already “dare” to book something?

Let’s push through the last bit together. 🤍

Over the weekend we did a couple of quick surveys here. It turned out, many of you like the same travels as we do: leaving the city and enjoy the simple things in life while camping. 🏕
