What to know about Fuerteventura?
I was told that the word 'Fuerteventura' translates to 'Strong wind' which would be very accurate as the island is famous for its strong wind. During my research, I, however, found out that 'ventura' means 'fortune'. The 'wind' translates to 'viento' in Spanish. So Fuerteventura means "Strong fortune" and not "Strong wind".
It's the second-largest of the Canary Islands after Tenerife. The island is about 100 km long and 30 km wide. The mountains (of volcanic origin) in the north reach a height of up to 700 m above sea level (Maxorata). The highest peak is in the south - peninsula of Jandía, the Pico de la Zarza (807 m).
Long sunny days, intense wind and waves up to two metres mean that the island has a long tradition of windsurfing and kite surfing. Its coastline with emerald green waters has over 150 km of white sand beaches. The coast and the spectacular volcanic landscapes are why the island is a Biosphere Reserve.
The island is home to one of the two surviving populations of the threatened Canarian Egyptian vulture. It is also inhabited by many wild dogs and cats. On the barren, rocky land there are Barbary ground squirrels and geckos.
What did I like most about the island?
Long Flat Roads: The island's expansive flat roads create a sense of freedom and ease while driving or cycling.
White Sand Beaches and Desert Feel: The stunning white sand beaches offer a serene desert-like atmosphere, perfect for relaxation and contemplation.
Young, Creative Vibe: There’s a vibrant, youthful energy that permeates the island, fostering a DIY spirit and creativity among its residents and visitors.
Northern Areas: The regions of Corralejo, Lajares, and El Cotillo are particularly enchanting, each offering unique landscapes and experiences.
Architecture: The architectural styles found throughout the island add to its charm, blending traditional influences with modern designs.
My clip mix made on the island:
Sara, my host, picked me up from the airport and immediately expressed her excitement about my arrival. She mentioned that she had a strong, positive feeling about me coming, which made me feel welcomed right away.
During the car ride to her house, I was unusually open and talkative for a first meeting; I usually prefer to observe and listen, but this time, I found myself doing most of the talking. Sara took a couple of wrong turns at the roundabout, which seemed to make her a bit nervous, but it didn’t affect the warm atmosphere between us.
As we chatted, it quickly became clear that we shared many common interests and values. We both believe in the importance of mindfulness, intuition, connection, recycling, nature, and love. Our experiences with spiritual concepts like the Law of Attraction, synchronicity, meditation, and energy healing aligned closely as well.
Interestingly, we also faced similar challenges regarding our birth experiences, including the amusing yet relatable issue of a blocked nose (Lol, yes!). Additionally, we discussed the family dynamics we grew up with and the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship. There’s a beautiful post on the “mother wound” that both Sara and I could relate to—feel free to check it out if you're interested: www.womboflight.com
Maybe we are from the same soul family, which she recognized when I reached out to her. I couldn’t help but ponder the message behind our meeting.
On Fuerteventura, once again, I found myself under my twin’s energetic and emotional influence. The lack of the connection I desired (an awakened version of him) caused me to withdraw a bit after the first few days. As a result, my Fuerteventura experience was overshadowed by this feeling of powerlessness. However, I began actively practicing Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations in the desert, pushing myself to embrace the island atmosphere, explore the area, and raise my vibration.
At the same time, I started to feel a bit depressed on my own. I found that I had a much better time staying at home with Sara’s cat during the day and watching movies with her in the evening. I think I needed a friend who could understand my "soul pain" rather than distractions that would only make me forget it. I craved someone to share the experience with, which provided a sense of comfort and belonging. Thank you, Sara!
Sometimes, shopping in London could lift my spirits on gloomy days, so I tried to look for a dress in the local boutiques because I really wanted a new summer dress in bright colors. Unfortunately, they were too expensive for my budget. I couldn’t bring myself to buy a sleeveless shirt dress for €45. Instead, I chose to continue feeling upset rather than broke, lol. 😅

OUT AND ABOUT
VOLCANO TRIP
There are quite a few volcano craters on the island that are accessible by foot, and I mean they're easy to climb. One morning, Sara dropped me off at one of these craters on her way to work. I wasn’t well-prepared, though—I forgot to bring enough water, a hat, and even lost my hairband by the time I reached the crater! The wind was strong, blowing my hair into my face, which drove me crazy. So, in a moment of creativity, I tied my wind jacket around my head—voilà, a new fashion statement was born! :)
I spent around three hours exploring the area, then started walking back toward the centre of Lajares along the roadside. Eventually, I stumbled upon a small grocery shop where I bought more water and a snack, which kept me going until Sara finished work. Below is a short video clip capturing my volcano hike experience:
WATCH OUT! NUDIES ON THE BEACH


I couldn't help but notice how many nude people, particularly older men—most likely over 50—were on the beaches. The locals build windbreaks out of lava stones to make the sun more enjoyable on the beach. During my walk, I was looking for one of these windbreaks, but most of them were already occupied. So, I kept walking further over the dunes and through the spiky stones until I reached a more deserted area, feeling the effects of what I assumed might be sunstroke. In this remote area, I saw more naked men walking between the dunes, which made me uncomfortable at first. I'm not used to seeing naked older men (or people in general) around me. I wondered, would they stare at me if I undressed? I wasn't sure. Being a young woman alone, I was toying with the idea of trying out the nude style in a safe place, but I felt suspicious.
Ironically, I would have felt safer going nude on the main beach, where there were families, more people, and other women too, but there I was held back by shyness and insecurity. In this more isolated part of the beach, I was surrounded by "naked old wolves" (no offense!), which simply made me uneasy.
Eventually, I found a "shelter" and, after an hour of relaxing in the sun topless, I decided to go fully nude in the afternoon. And I thought to myself, "Okay... now what?" It didn’t feel a big difference.
When I went topless for the first time in Tenerife, inspired by the many gorgeous topless women around me, I felt liberated and reborn. It was a powerful moment that made me feel more confident and beautiful. Going fully naked, though, didn’t evoke the same feelings—at least not here and not now. But hey, I did it! 😀
MY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE

There’s something mystical and eye-opening about the long flat roads in the desert. With no buildings, hills, rock piles, or trees in front of me to block my view, I can look as far as my eyes allow. This openness, with no physical obstacles ahead, mirrors the spiritual and psychological realms. It’s as if there are no barriers in the way of making a dream come true or reaching out for new possibilities. There’s more space for creativity, dreams, hopes, and potential. Nothing blocks the path to create new visions and reach your goals. That’s how I perceive the Third Eye chakra working here.
I loved walking alone by the road much more than walking by the coast. The feeling reminded me of scenes from movies that had always fascinated me—the idea of being in the desert, driving down long, empty roads. A couple I met in El Hierro had warned me, saying, “Fuerteventura is so boring. It’s just desert—nothing there. The view is the same everywhere, flat and monotonous.” But I ignored their opinion. I knew I would love it!
It was in Fuerteventura where the idea of writing the "7 Islands, 7 Chakras" book came to me. I envisioned it clearly and began manifesting the possibility.
WISDOM JAR
Sara left a "wisdom jar" in my room, and every morning I was excited to pull out a paper strip with a new message. These daily messages uplifted me emotionally and boosted my confidence in trusting my own inner wisdom regarding my life journey. It was a lovely way to start the day with positive affirmations, and I absolutely loved the idea!
The next island will be Lanzarote - Crown Chakra island.
