Something has to change

Burned out.
Disconnected.
Running on empty…

Put the phone down, get on the trail, and find your way back. Become a real person again, not just an entry in someone’s friend list. Embrace the powers of nature, use the compass to discover the world beyond your own horizon, and explore the trails that reach to the summit of self.

Blending experience, insight and effect

The three pillars of recovery

Selftrails sits at the intersection of three kinds of writing that don’t often share a home.

Not another travel blog

Personal story that makes the difference

Ways I walked, trails they left and paths to choose

From my own experience, Selftrails offers a different view on hiking and exploration. One that turns towards you and not your followers. It offers a way to discover your true self by exploring the most natural human activity – by using your feet. By a combination of trekking experiences, unique itineraries, off-the-beaten-path destinations and insightful psychological principles, it gives you the possibility to unfold, unwind and recover.

Free your true self

No signal for days. That’s not a bug, that’s the whole point.

Ready to hit the trail?

If you feel drained by work, haunted by commitments, or bored by curated ‘experiences’ made for social media, Selftrails offers quiet, real journeys and honest writing. This is not for everyone. It is for the few who would rather feel alive than look impressive.

Let your body work for you

Performance is just part of the whole achievement

Bring your body and your soul in balance. The effort you put into your steps and the freedom you bestow to your mind will reward you with relief and regain your life back.
