This might be one of the wildest experiences I have ever had. A singular Polar Stratospheric Cloud appeared in the early morning hours, on the last day of our 115km ski-expedition through Jotunheimen. That morning we were up at 04:45 to get an early start, since there was a lot of snow-fall coming in the afternoon. So after starting in a whiteout-storm in pitch darkness, this cloud appeared out of nowhere and it was insane. Really sick to have shared that moment with two incredible adventourus souls, who invited me on their training-trip last minute and taught me how to ski through the trip.

Due to a recent storm, some of the cliffs at Møns Klint in Denmark have fallen into the water, which leaves a bunch of chalk in the water - we did a mission down there to look at it with SUP-boards.

Spontanous mission in Malta, with a guy I found on Facebook the night before. The morning after, we found ourselves meeting up at the break of dawn to abseil down to a platform, from where we could explore some Deep Water Soloing at sunrise.
