Hi! I am Yorien and I live in Innsbruck, a cozy, Austrian city right in the heart of the Alps. I was born and raised in the Netherlands, but moved away in 2025. I guess somewhere in between the incredible mountains, gorgeous weather, infinite hiking opportunities and cute dogs, my heart found its true home.

The Green Path is a personal blog about safe outdoor adventures, sustainable living, emigrating and finding home in the Austrian Alps. And if we get a little bit philosophical, it is also about choosing your own path. I believe there is not one right and straight path in life. There are many right ones and they are usually wriggly and go in circles. Do you agree? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

On this blog I write about my favorite things in life: being outside in nature, doing long hikes, eating delicious plant-based food and talking telepathically to dogs. (That's normal, right?) Sharing my story is a form of creative therapy for me. I love writing (no, this is not an AI talking), and being able to share my videos and photography on this platform is a massive bonus.

I hope to inspire you with my story and I encourage you to start wandering down your own (green) path. Whether that means for you moving 4 or 40,000 km, starting your own blog or taking a little hiking adventure on the weekend. Du schaffst das.
