Josie

Welcome to a fresh take on SRFACE Diaries! Instead of the usual format with extensive interviews and lifestyle photos of our ambassadors, we've opted for something different. Join us as we follow Josie & Lucas on their journey, offering updates on their experiences and the challenges they encounter along the way.

What inspired you guys to make the trip from The Netherlands to South Africa?

Our answer might surprise you—it wasn't a specific inspiration, but rather a shared love for adventure! The allure of seeking out uncharted waves, untrodden paths, diverse cultures, and new faces is what drives them. Africa, with its mystique, beckons as a treasure trove waiting to be uncovered.

Who makes the most mess in the van?

That's a toss-up! It could be Josie, or perhaps our beloved pooch, Balou, would take the crown ;)

What does a typical day in your life look like?

Waking up to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee—unless, of course, the waves are calling! Our furry companion, Balou, is usually the first to greet the day, followed closely by us. From surfing to motorcycling, hiking to capturing moments through photography, our days are filled with a kaleidoscope of activities. And let's not forget whipping up delicious meals with local ingredients and cozying up around campfires—it's all part of our daily rhythm.

Who or what inspires you two and why?

Our inspiration springs from within our dynamic partnership. Our shared passion for surfing and embracing all things aquatic fuels our zest for life.

What do you guys do to relax?

Our idea of relaxation? Engaging in sports and hitting the open road. With a custom motor rack mounted on our trusty 4x4, we find solace in cruising on our vintage Honda MTX.

Name one thing the world could use more of right now

Empty line-ups and love! The world could certainly benefit from more tranquil waves and abundant affection.

What are your expectations of this trip?

We're keeping expectations minimal. Without a rigid schedule, we're open to whatever the road may bring—be it secluded surf breaks, rugged off-road trails, or heartwarming encounters with locals. Our mantra? Go with the flow and embrace the unknown.

Until next time!

That wraps up our current episode with Josie & Lucas. Stay tuned as we reconnect with them shortly to delve deeper into our Southward journey. Have burning questions about off-road travel like ours? Drop them in the comments on our Instagram post, and we'll ensure they're answered next time!
