Destinationbetween with Pacha Light
First off, what do you do?
Led by passion and purpose, I free surf, share stories and do what I can to heal the Earth.
You live a life pretty much always moving. What does home mean for you?
Home is literally everywhere - it’s really is where your heart is. Feeling connected to nature - especially through the ocean - brings a sense of familiarity and security wherever I happen to be.
When your on the road there’s always so many temptations. Do you have any tips on how to focus when you need to get the boring stuff done?
Yes! I think setting your boundaries is really important, even if the guilt of not having a day full of activities comes up, you have to listen to your body and give yourself mental quietness to get on to those to-do lists. A walk or run or even a power nap helps me focus.
What do you always bring on your travels?
GoPro, reusable water bottle, scarf (for said power nap anywhere and everywhere), ukulele and notebook and pen! Also back up travel documents, bank cards and keep emergency cash… still learning the hard way after my wallet decided to stay in Paris. I hope she’s living her best romanic life.
What would you tell yourself as a teenager?
Hahah! I guess not too much because all those lessons came anyway. Believing in yourself and visioning your goals with a bit more umph would be great but can’t regret anything! Actually, maybe that I don’t know 5 languages already- early teenage Pacha should really get on that!
Which is your favourite destination?
Ah - that’s an impossible question! Can I say every destination? I have adored my time train hopping through Europe and Morocco over the past 3 months, meeting so many people both cool and wacky, new cultures and incredible food. If you could say your favourite destination is where you grow the most - then it’s the time things don’t go to plan that are really my favourite! Getting to any place where the journey has been the biggest struggle (even lugging 3 bags over a train over pass) makes my favourite destination the place I have arrived!
What would you tell people who would like to follow your path?
The magic of listening to your heart will always guide you but taking the steps towards that direction will always need some h
