About

A place to explore, live and sustain a more intentional way of life.

I’ve always loved traveling—but more than anything, I’ve found myself drawn to the smaller moments along the way. The ones you don’t plan, but end up meaning the most.

Over time, that started to include not just how I experience things—but how I support them, too. Whether that’s planning a trip, trying a new restaurant, or making the most of an ordinary day.

I created The Intentional Route as a space to document that—places I’ve been, meals I’ve loved, and the systems that make it all sustainable.

My approach to travel is simple: a balance. Thoughtful planning, with enough room for spontaneity. A mix of exploring somewhere new, finding a good meal, and being present wherever I am.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me either deep in a spreadsheet or outside—kayaking, hiking, or rollerblading, depending on the day.

This space is a collection of all of that—what I explore, how I live, and the ways I sustain it.

If something here resonates or gives you a new idea, that’s more than enough.

I’m Lena—thanks for being here.
