I sailed across the Caribbean Sea - probably the most poetic way to leave Latin America after over two years of exploring. I had never set foot on a sailboat before, but I knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Here's how I managed to hitchhike from Colombia to St. Martin on a sailing boat with two strangers. An experience where time seemed to disappear, making the present moment feel infinite and unbound.

To this day, it remains one of the most rewarding adventures I've ever had. Three weeks of nonstop sailing - no stops, just open water - gave me plenty of time to reflect on my years in Latin America, the changes I've gone through, and the journey ahead. It was a chance to process it all while also feeling the excitement of returning to Europe, where so many people were waiting to welcome me with love.
