“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver
Venturing on long motorbike tours, writing, and having a dog – these are the dreams I have for my life. I’m working on them.
A friend once told me, “Eva, you are an encourager.” This sentence means a lot to me. I love helping people discover what makes them happy – and to encourage them to make it come true.
So, if anything you read from me – be it in my books or in the texts below – inspires you, go for it!
And let me know how you’re doing – I’d be delighted to hear from you!

Next Project
In 2024, I travelled east with my wonderful dog, Polly. My destination was the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan. Along the way, Polly would have all the freedom and all the space in the world to romp around.
It worked out – but in a way I never expected.
After more than a year, I’m finally starting to write a book about this tour, Iran, and its people.
