Salti Hearts Story (Yeni’s journey)

I feel deeply grateful to be able to share the story of the journey that brought me to one of the most beautiful tropical islands in the world and, ultimately, to the creation of Salti Hearts.
The Salti Hearts’ journey began a long time ago – ever since I can remember I have been passionate about the ocean, I fell in love with surfing and the beach lifestyle at the age of six. From the moment that I caught my first wave, on a gorgeous Caribbean island, I knew that I, not only wanted, but needed to be near the ocean and the surf. I believe that on that day I decided to dedicate my life to the sea. I was, indeed, incredibly lucky to grow up on that small Caribbean island called Los Roques, thanks to the tenacity and good judgment of my Italian ancestors, who found their way there after travelling all the way from Toscana, Italy.

I guess, in one way or another, everyone follows their dreams, but sometimes the path can lead you in different directions before you reach it. I had the good luck and fortune to be raised by the sea and to spend my childhood connected to the ocean and the many beautiful marine creatures within it. Growing up, I developed a passion not only for surfing, but for yoga and travel as well. Over the years these interests lead me to many different places around the globe, surfing, coaching, inspiring and sharing my enthusiasm, awareness and dedication for a healthy, joyful and grateful surf lifestyle.

I have been a surf coach for over 16 years; meeting, learning from and sharing my experiences with, wonderful people from different corners of this amazing world. These connections with people are what make my days full of joy, adventure, laughter, gratitude and new experiences.

After having the dream of traveling to Indonesia for more than a decade, I decided that before I could leave I needed to free myself from all my material possessions. The first thing I did was to sell my boat and other unnecessary material possession I had back home on Los Roques; you may be asking, “Why a boat?” Well I had no use for a car or a motorbike, I lived in an Archipelago and my way of getting around was to cruise from island to island searching for waves in my little boat – I was both a captain and a sailor, it was truly liberating.

After arriving in beautiful Bali, I felt completely at home, my love for surfing and yoga were a perfect match with the island lifestyle and I knew I was in the right place. For the first eighteen months I travelled around Indonesia, searching for perfect waves, living the dream and falling in love with the culture and the island lifestyle.
Canggu become my neighbourhood, a fresh green area, a harmonious home to both Balinese families and travellers from around the world, who had come to find their home away from home. After spending many days in the ocean and many hours on my yoga mat, much time surf coaching and many moments sharing my story with others, I finally had some down time and had the opportunity to ask myself, “What’s next?” I gathered my thoughts, followed my heart and kept true to my passion of surfing and yoga, I acknowledged that I had been offered many wonderful opportunities throughout my life and that it was time to really step out of my comfort zone.

Salti Hearts

So I took a bigger step than I have ever taken in my life and created Salti Hearts, a Surf, Yoga, Meditation & Fitness Retreat for women from around the world, in my tropical island home Bali and now also in Mentawai Islands. So I can say from the deepest part of my heart, that I’m living my dream, I am thankful for this opportunity and I wake up everyday truly grateful for the life I have and the path I have chosen to live with my Salti heart wide open and beating with the rhythm of the tides as I breathe the Salti breeze from the ocean.
