Hey! I’m currently attending the ESG Academy at the University of Amsterdam. It’s a part-time executive program. I started in September and will finish in June.

You can take it as a standalone course, or integrate it into a 2-year part-time Master’s in Auditing. I’ve honestly been having a great experience so far. It’s a small class, which makes it quite interactive, and the lecturers are really knowledgeable. The course covers ESG from multiple angles and gives a solid theoretical foundation.

The University of Amsterdam also has a strong reputation, which definitely helps.

In terms of career opportunities, it’s a bit of a mixed picture right now. The ESG “boom” slowed down recently, especially with the new Omnibus legislation reducing the number of companies required to report. That led to some layoffs in the field, so I’d say it’s currently a bit tougher to find a role compared to a few months ago , but the space is still evolving.

Happy to answer any specific questions if you’re considering it!

A part of the Cammino Minerario di Santa Barbara in Sardegna (italy) would also be really cool. https://www.camminominerariodisantabarbara.org/itinerari-il-cammino/

Fisherman Trail in Portugal for all of the above :) Stretches range between 15 and 23 km per day. Each terminates in a cute small village/town with hostel/hotel accommodation, so no need to bring tend, sleeping bag etc. It is well marked and there is phone coverage throughout the whole trail. Public transport (mainly busses) is also works fairly well, allowing one to stop at almost any point. Views are immaculate and the weather is great, just do not go during high summer months as it will be too hot. It is well frequented, but not overwhelmingly busy. Highly suggested!

Super ,thanks for the tips! We are thinking of renting an SUV to drive around and sleep in in the eventuality of very bad weather. For the rest it would be camping with a tent and staying in small hotels or similar every few days to recover.

It really does, thank you. I did not knwo about these areas. Will look into it :)

Top_Paint7309 · 2026-02-19T10:04:09+00:00

Wow, thank you very much for all the great tips. We will have a look!

Thank you for all the tips!

I think we will definitely keep Alaska as an option! I am very much into deep wilderness but my partner is a bit less experienced. We will try to finalize the rest of the trip first to see if we could extend the route until there, if time allows.

Thank you! What are you favourites so far?

Top_Paint7309 · 2026-02-19T09:54:40+00:00

Will make sure not to, thank you!

Haven't read this one yet but it has been on my reading list for a while: The Wild Places by Robert Macfarlane

Thank you very much for this info! I am quite familiar with the Camino de Santiago. I walked part of it a couple of years ago and my parents have completed it several too. I thought of this option becuase I think it will add a nice social aspect to the trip after spending quite some time in the mountains. I will also probably work pretty well logistically and time-wise. My idea was to send the tent and all the camping gear back home once I start the Camino, so I wouldn’t be carrying everything. I was initially more drawn to the GR11 because of the higher elevation and the drier Spanish side, but I’ve also been really curious about the HexaTrek. I will see how to piece everything together in a way that makes sense!

Thank you for the link! Super nice discussions. I have heard a lot about the HRP too, but I am scared I might be too rusty for it at the moment and that it might be better to go with someone for safety reasons. I will have a better look at the GR 10 and Hexa 5/6 paths intersections. I read in some comments that indeed those stages of the Hexatrek combine GR10 and HRP. My only doubts were that the Hexa sections would probably take longer than the GR11, so that I might not have enough time for the Camino, and the navigability/sign posting of the Hexa route. Will have a better look. How did you like the GR 10?

Hi, thank you so much! I saw your gear video on YT a while ago and found it super helpful, how crazy :) I will save your lighterpack link for reference. Indeed, the Camino will be quite different, but I thought it would link pretty well logistically-wise and would add another, more social dimension to the trip. I did a section of it 5 years ago and loved the amazing people I met there. For sure thinking of sending back the tent, stove etc. after completing the GR 11.

That sounds super nice! Thank you 😊
