Have you experienced the death of someone close to

Have you experienced the death of someone close to you recently? If there's one tip I would like to give you it is this: take time to grief.

This might sound very simple, and you might even wonder what this has to do with this book, that is mainly about a girl who is working very hard to make her dream come true: to work as a diving instructor around the world. Well, there is actually a hidden message lurking in the background throughout my 'happy travel story'. As many of you know, I lost my mother when I was 21 and my father at age 29. In Safety Stop, I have a chapter written about the experience of the death of each parent.

And I didn't do that thing called 'grief' very well.

So who am I to tell you to take time for it?

Because I have the experience of denying the pain for too long. And I can tell you this: Although it might feel very painful to go through the pain, resisting it is actually much harder.

As you might probably realize when reading Safety Stop, unresolved grief can negatively impact your life, even years, or a decade, later. When I was 21, I didn't know anything about the stages of grief. I just put a smile on my face and focussed on graduating from college whilst working as a waitress in the weekends. My mum wouldn't have wanted me to feel sad about her, right? And so 8,5 years later, when my dad passed away, I did exactly the same: denying most of the pain related to my loss, In the meantime I was wondering why I was always struggling with anxiety, bonding issues, fear of commitment and struggling with decisions. I was also very confused about love relationships.

Although I did live my dream, I was always searching for the next thing to make me happy and to kill the pain I carried unconsciously deep inside of me. I changed jobs, countries and relationships as if they were toys. Well, sarcastically said, the only way to avoid grief is just not to love again.

Monarch butterfly 🦋 on my shoulder 😇

I was having a coffee ☕ with my friend a couple of days ago and out of the blue this butterfly just lands on my shoulder and sits there for 15 min orso 💜

I always believe that butterflies are signs from people who have passed away, so I thanked my parents in heaven for this one 🙏 We were just talking about my book, in which I have quoted Wayne Dyer many times, so maybe I should not give up on it and give it another chance with Hay House next month ☺️

Because it also instantly reminded me of Wayne Dyer's story and that he had a butterfly like this on his hand whilst being on Maui. He asked what to do, and his assistant told him: "meditate" and his publisher @rtracy13 : "take a picture" (we followed his advice too 😆)

Then it became really funny when Wayne mentioned that it looked like the butterfly was talking to him, if you look really close at a butterfly the lips appear to move 😂😂

And it's interesting that this little butterfly in a certain season flies an x-miles to another continent even, and after the season it returns not even to the same place, not even to the same tree, but to the same twig it departed from before the season!

Grateful for this little sign from heaven 🙏 And thanks to Bella, who took this pic 😊 I believe that her, and little monsieur Guaps' 🥰, good energy had something to do with it too 🌻

I think the monarch butterfly 🦋 is truly miraculous ✨

This week there are more familiar faces on the island 😍 My little godchild has grown so much 😲 Now we each carry half a heart to bridge the distance until we are magnetically pulled to each other again 😅💜 Hopefully a bit sooner this time 🤗 So happy to have spend time this week with her, my cousin, her husband and their son, my other little friend 💙 (who is taller than me now 🤣) Thanks to all of you for always being there for me, especially during some harder times in the past 🙏 and for good times now 😁

Look who's here 😍 So happy to see these 2 happy faces back on the island. They have become part of the @nautico_diveacademy family over the last 1,5 years, Erik even looks like one of us now 👌🏼😁 And personally, they have become my friends as well 😀 Welcome back to the island 😎 Tina will be a certified open water diver tomorrow 💙

Usually, it´s me chasing sea life to get on camera, but this ray just came to me. I needed to go up a bit to let him pass me. I went scuba diving with @nautico_diveacademy today and this is the dive site called the Russian wreck, it´s located just off the coast of El Pajar in Gran Canaria. It´s a nice & easy dive site with a maximum depth of about 17 meters, making it suitable for any level or scuba diving certification. More about scuba diving in Gran Canaria on splashpacker.com and Splashpacker YouTube channel.

Happy bubbles to 2023 <3

Although you won´t find any tropical corals whilst scuba diving on Gran Canaria, there are beautiful soft corals. Next to that, the volcanic landscape gives you swimthroughs, lava tunnels and rocky reefs where some interesting sea life might be playing hide-and-seek with you! Keep an eye on Splashpacker.com for more information about scuba diving on Gran Canaria and on Slashpacker YouTUbe channel for more videos about the diving here. There are huge schools of fish here like barracuda´s and grunts and also quiet a lot of wrecks to dive! Happy Splashpacking 🙂

Octopus during scuba diving on Arguineguín Reef in Gran Canaria. There´s a new video on Splashpacker YouTube channel about this lovely dive site in the Atlantic Ocean. Big schools of grunts (#roncadores) are always home whilst there´s a big chance to spot a octopus like this one or things like rays, moray eels and cuttle fish. Really everything is possible in the Atlantic Ocean.

This is the 25 fountains of Rabaçal Levada walk on Madeira, one of the most popular Levada walks on Madeira. The levada hike is also called 'levada das 25 fontes of Rabaçal' in Portuguese. This levada walk takes you right into the laurisilva forest (Laurel forest, also called laurissilva), and the track is surrounded by lots of water. There are many waterfalls to be found on this hiking trail, that´s where the name ´25 fountains´ comes from, and you can hear the water streams everywhere.

The hike starts close to the Paul da Serra plateau, an important area to keep the rainwater on Madeira island, and then guides you right into the beautiful subtropical rainforest. There is one waterfall called Risco waterfall and there is also a lagoon where most people enjoy their picnic lunch and where you can enjoy a refreshing swim.

You can read more about this beautiful levada walk and more hiking on Madeira on Splashpacker: https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/portugal/madeira-porto-santo-island/

If you are planning to travel to Madeira Island I can recommend booking the 25 fountains of Rabaçal Levada walk in advance, because it´s one of the most popular Levada hikes. You can book your 25 fontes Levada walk with Get Your Guide by clicking on the following link. I do receive a small commission on your purchase through this link:

Madeira Island, belonging to Portugal but located in the Atlantic Ocean, has more than 2000 km of distance in Levada walks.

There are lots of different Levada walks and hikes you can do all over the island. From walking right through the laurissilva forest to agriculture landscapes with sugarcanes, following a river, or walking to lakes, you can hike to the peak of Madeira island (see a previous video for this hike), walk through a dryer landscape at Ponta de São Lourenço Walk or enjoy a Levada hike with more coastal views. Check out all Levada walks by clicking on the link below, I receive a small commission on your purchase through this link:

The levadas on Madeira Island were originally constructed as an irrigation system for agricultural purposes, they are turned into beautiful hikes and walks. You can read more about Madeira Island on Splashpacker. There are personal travel blog posts as well as informative posts with lots of practical travel information. I´ve spent quite some time on Madeira. I first visited the island on a 5-day trip before returning for 10 days and eventually ending up staying for 6 weeks when I came back from the Azores and traveled back to the Canary Islands. I´m still in the process of adding more posts about Madeira Island but all material written so far can be found here:

Travel with me to Madeira Island, this time we go on a tour called Madeira East Tour. Sightseeing will be combined with a road trip to the most beautiful places, viewpoints, and attractions on this side of Madeira Island. Last time we went to the West, but this tour takes you to the nicest places on the East Coast of Madeira Island. <br /><br />You can find more information about Madeira Island on the Splashpacker website and blog: <br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/portugal/madeira-porto-santo-island/<br />(a specific blog post for this tour to the East of Maderia is still to come)<br /><br />As a solo traveler, I preferred to book a tour like this over renting a car. One of the reasons was so I could meet other travelers, and another reason was that I did not feel very confident driving a car on Madeira Island!<br /><br />You can book your own Madeira East Tour through Get Your Guide ( I receive a small commission on your purchase through the links below).<br /><br />This is the exact tour I did and which I believe offers the best price:<br />https://www.getyourguide.com/funchal-l1026/from-funchal-private-east-coast-of-madeira-tour-t303473/?partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Here is another popular East Tour of Madeira Island on Get Your Guide: <br />https://www.getyourguide.com/funchal-l1026/best-of-the-east-tour-from-funchal-t65983/?partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Also, there are more videos and blog posts to come about my travels to Madeira Island.

During scuba diving on Gran Canaria, we saw this giant school of barracuda. The huge school of barracudas was hanging above a little sailboat wreck, which is a dive site located at a depth of about 30 meters. You can scuba dive this wreck dive site by boat on the South-West coast of Gran Canaria.<br /><br />I have written a few blog posts about scuba diving on Gran Canaria, which you can find on splashpacker.com. Currently, I am still working on a post about the boat diving on the south west coast of the island.

Most boat diving on the South-West coast of Gran Canaria is done by small boats like by zodiac boat. You reach most dive sites within a 10 - 20 minute boat ride, which gives you a nice view of this side of the island. Sometimes we see flying fish as well. There are various scuba dive sites on this side of the island, including wreck dives, reef dives, and artificial reef dives.<br /><br />Check out the blog posts about scuba diving in Gran Canaria on splashpacker.com:<br /><br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/spain/canary-islands/gran-canaria/<br /><br />I am still working on a new post that is all about boat diving on this side of Gran Canaria.

If you go scuba diving on Gran Canaria, especially if you go boat diving to certain dive sites like Arguineguín Reef, you are almost guaranteed to see those big school of bastard grunts. In the local Spanish dialect of the Canary Island, they call this fish ´Roncadores´. Literally translated, it means ´snorers´, because apparently when fishermen caught them in the nets they make the snoring sound. I do become a bit sad by the idea of those fish in nets though :-( But that´s where the name comes from. <br /><br />More information about scuba diving on Gran Canaria, boat diving on the south-west coast and dive spots and diving sites on this part of the island, on Splashpacker:<br /><br />https://www.splashpacker.com/category/travel-information/spain/canary-islands/gran-canaria/<br /><br />You can also book your scuba diving on Gran Canaria in advance with Get Your Guide, I do receive a small commission if you book by clicking through on the link below: <br /><br />https://www.getyourguide.com/s/?q=Gran%20Canaria,%20scuba%20diving&searchSource=3&partner_id=M5CWGCB&utm_medium=online_publisher&placement=%22other%22<br /><br />Stay tuned by subscribing to this channel or to subscribe to the mailinglist on https://www.splashpacker.com for more information about scuba diving, dive destination, dive travel, also non-dive travel, female solo travel tips, working as a dive instructor and eco- conscious travel and sustainable tourism. <br /><br />Happy Bubbles!<br />Safe Travels<br /><br />#scubadivinggirls #scubadivingtrip #grancanarias #arguineguin #scubadiving #grancanaria #atlanticocean #splashpacker #scubadiver #travelbloggersonyoutube #sustainabletourism #divetravel #buceo #islascanarias #pescescanarias
