HI WELCOME!
I’m Evi, a travel storyteller on a mission to look beyond the postcard. I explore the world with my camera and curiosity, searching for the stories that usually stay unseen.
I create documentary-style travel stories about the people, cultures and quiet realities behind the places we think we know. From hidden communities to traditions in transition and the women shaping change — my work goes beyond guidebooks and spotlight moments.
If you’re here for honest, human, in-depth stories from around the world, you’re in the right place.

We weren’t the strongest or the smartest, yet we’ve survived 300,000 years. From nomads to fluorescent office lights. When the abnormal becomes normal, at what point do we lose ourselves?
Join travel journalist Evi Goossens on a journey through New Zealand’s backroads as she explores history, human nature, and the deeper truths we often overlook.

The Day the Boat Almost Won
Five boats sank this week, two capsized. Under the blazing sun, travel photographer Evi Goossens and seasoned backpacker Nina Wind wait their turn for this floating coffin. A random Thai man hands them a small yellow travel pill. It looks like an ecstasy pill from a techno festival. Ready for a crazy trip, I guess?

My Everest
5,200 meters. Almost the same altitude as Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Growing increasingly sad, I fall behind the group, slowly trailing at the very back. I look up at what still lies ahead. I glance at Manon from Quebec and shout, “I just want a horse!”
