What this video covers

Nike hikes the Volcan de la Corona crater in northern Lanzarote to maintain personal independence while living full-time on a sailboat with her partner, Flo. She travels from Arieta to the village of Ye via public bus, specifically using the number seven bus on a Sunday. The hike spans approximately 12 kilometers and takes roughly three and a half hours to complete. The trail features steep, loose volcanic terrain and high winds near the summit. Nike navigates the route using a hiking app, though she briefly loses the trail before reaching the crater rim. The excursion serves as a deliberate effort to pursue individual interests despite a partner's lack of enthusiasm for a specific activity. Maintaining solo habits within the confined, 24-7 environment of life afloat helps preserve personal identity and strengthens the relationship.
