But hey, first of all, the real question is: What does “Uitwaaien” mean?
Ever catch yourself tangled in a web of thoughts, craving that mental reset? Uitwaaien—a gorgeous Dutch word with no perfect English match—is my go-to ritual.
It means stepping into the fresh wind on a brisk walk or bike ride to sort ideas, breathe easy, and spark clarity.
I am Fabio a.k.a Bien, and as a wanderer, sometimes I “Uitwaaien” for a bit more than half an hour. Sometimes weeks. Months. Even years—living around the world and learning about this marvelous planet we call “Earth,” but I call “Home.”
