our story

What started as a small WhatsApp group of women who just wanted to share their experience and surf together, became what we call Ocean Sisters today. A place for women from all around the world to support and inspire each other. Everything started in summer 2020. The moment when you realise that you feel alone.

‘Hi I’m Julia, the founder of the Ocean Sisters.

I get often asked how I came up with this idea and why I created this community. The simple answer was loneliness. Do you know this feeling? No matter how far you have travelled or whether you are in the most beautiful places in the world, surrounded by amazing people – you feel alone. We don’t talk about loneliness. It’s something that makes us look weak and uncool, right ?! Bullshit!

We’re all struggling with the same. No matter whether you are in a great relationship or surrounded by many people.

That will never replace the feeling of true friendship. The feeling of home and belonging. Many of us are where we are, because we’re following our dreams, whether for short or long term. But what price do we pay for it? We leave our best friends and families behind, our comfort zone. Hoping to find all of this in our adopted home. But unfortunately the reality can be different.

It takes a long time to find the right connections and sometimes even forever. Some of us even give up on our dreams because of it. Many of us in the community may have experienced the same. Others just want to have fun. Whatever reason you have to read this, you’re exactly on the right spot.

It’s about belonging, solidarity and true friendship.

Isn’t that what we’re all looking for at the end of the day?!’
Welcome Sister!
