SPLASHPACKER

I'm a former scuba dive instructor with working abroad experience in Europe, Caribbean, Maldives, Australia & New Zealand, and solo female travel experience in Egypt, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Macaronesia, and more. The focus of this conscious travel blog is on eco-friendly & sustainable tourism, ocean conservation, and supporting local people. I'm on the road since 2006 and love veggie food :-)
