That moment we took a tiny plane from Belize to Ro That moment we took a tiny plane from Belize to Roatan Island and with a thunderstorm right at the time of taking off, it actually didn't feel very comfortable. You can read about those times in Safety Stop book. #roatanlifestyle #roatanislandhonduras #localflight #tinyairplane #placenciabelize #caribeantravel #travelcaribbeanislands #safetystopbook
Dumaguete, on Negros Island in the Philippines, is Dumaguete, on Negros Island in the Philippines, is a very clean & environmentally conscious place! It was my third time I went there in 2018 but I really hope I will be back again another day. It´s also the places I experienced my first psychosis before I became missing, you can read more about that in #safetystopbook. I really love the Philippines!!! #dumaguetetourism #dumaguetephilippines #dumagueteartist #environmentalprotection #protectourearth #protectenvironment #negrosislandregion #blueoceans @blueoceansprogram
Checking out hootsuite and scheduling some posts ( Checking out hootsuite and scheduling some posts (actually again, I worked with it during my job in Australia about 7 years ago), so I can focus more on writing. The free version is pretty good, I don´t have to worry about social media for the coming month 🙂 This sea turtle was laying on the corals of Apo Island in the Philippines. Going through some old photos now! Expect some throwbacks coming weeks 🙂 Full post about scuba diving Apo Island is now available on Splashpacker! #apoislanddiving #seaturtlesofinstagram #philippinesscubadiving #philippinessea #negrosislandregion #scubaphilippines #hootsuiteinstagram #schedulecheck #blueoceans @blueoceansprogram
Do you know what an eco-brick is? Yes, you can mak Do you know what an eco-brick is? Yes, you can make a table from them and they are even used for building a school for orphanage kids in Thailand. During my travels through Thailand, I did not plan to visit the Phi Phi Islands. I expected them to be very touristy. And although the latter is true, I´m glad I went beause the scuba diving is amazing and I learned about all those amazing eco-friendly projects & sustainable concepts applied by the dive centre Blue Views Divers. They have amazing recycle projects and are involved with a lot of organisations like ocean conservation and much more. This concept and their ideas can be applied anywhere in the world, so it might give you some ideas for your dive centre, accommodation or other bussiness.

It was time for 'un baño' 😍 Look how crystal c It was time for 'un baño' 😍 Look how crystal clear the seawater is! I could still see the sand swimming with some metres of depth under me! On this photo, the 2 resorts where I have been working last year, #radissonblugrancanaria & #anfibeachclub are both in the background. It's strange to see all those big hotels completely empty, but it's nice to be on a very quiet beach 😁 Now I can't wait to go scuba diving and to write a new post for Splashpacker about all those whales & dolphins 😂 #patalavacabeach #canaryislands🇮🇨 #grancanariabeach #radissonbluresort #anfidelmargrancanaria #summertime2020 #atlanticoceanbeach

I took this photo when #lockdowninspain just start I took this photo when #lockdowninspain just started and started do some exercise at home. Lifting the 8L-water bottles. It's already 2 months ago but slowly things are opening up. The summer is defintely starting here on Canary Islands and on monday we are allowed to go to the beach 😁 Splashpacker has had a make-over and I have spent many hours building the website (and sometimes more hours figuring out tecnical issues). But it's getting somewhere again and has some new posts, many more to come though. Still working on post about eco-friendly dive center on Philippines and backpacking Sri Lanka, among others. While Safety Stop book is also floating somewhere in the back of my mind, and did review some chapters again, that's another pretty big job. With 2 more months lockdown, I would still not be bored but I am happy & gratefull we are able to enjoy life outside more and more. #homeexercise #lockdownreflections #beachsoon #canaryislands🇮🇨 #writingtimes #lockdownexercises #waterbottleselfie #reflecties #thuisisolatie

Last time, when I was travelling through Asia for Last time, when I was travelling through Asia for almost a year, I really missed cooking sometimes! However, during this #covid19time, not even having meals at work anymore, I start to feel a bit bored by cooking all the time 🙄 I rather eat a $US 1,- Pad thai from the foodmarket in Thailand and share some divepics or travel photos, than doing this... But since this is not possible right now I once again share my lunch here 🙈 'spagetti a la El' with spinach, mushroom, red bell pepper, brocolli, carrot, onion, zucchini, and some cream. It tastes nice, although would have preferred the Pad Thai 🤣 #healthylunches #spagettirecipes #vegetabledishes #stilllockeddown #homecooking #misstravellingalready #missingtotravel
Tumeric has A LOT of health benefits, like lowerin Tumeric has A LOT of health benefits, like lowering the cholesterol, cancer reducing abilities, it can improve the liver function and also is anti bacterial and anti-inflammatory! They say that if you combine it with black pepper, the effects are even stronger. And it's very easy to add it to your food. So I mixed a bit of tumeric and black pepper through my veggie omelet, together with some basmati rice and left over salad from yesterday makes again a #healthylunchoption #tumericbenefits #curcumahealthy #curcumasana #kurkumawortel #kurkumalove #tumericblackpepper #curcumine #healthyspices #gezondekruiden #hierbasquesanan
Never before I was so grateful to go for a walk 💜 Never before I appreciated the sunset so much 💛 Never before I saw the air so clean 💙 Yes, we do get to see the Teide from here but never before I saw the whole island of Tenerife so clear from this side of the island! Nature is recovering! And we as humans hopefully too! I greeted every person with the happiest 'Hola' ever, and there were quiet a lot of people. Maybe never before I said so many 'holas' to people I don't know. And I had a smile om my face during the whole walk! Never before I felt so free 💚 Jeay we are allowed to go outside and I am lucky that my age category can go at at sunrise- or sunse- time! #sunsets #tenerifeview #lovecanaryislands #canariastequiero #teidemountain #teidetenerife #atlanticoceanview #freedomafterlockdown #happysunday♥️ #sunsetwalking
