Ever heard about constructing a complete school fo Ever heard about constructing a complete school for orphans, replacing the limb of an injured elephant, or simply just building a stand up paddle board? But all of this by recycled plastic? That´s some of the great projects Trash Hero & Blue View Divers are involved with. The great news is that these concepts can be copied to be applied anywhere in the world really. I was recording a little video about it. Here is a link to the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZtvB9RrBqI&t=1s Or or you can find a full blogpost on Splashpacker.com in the eco-friendly menu (https://www.splashpacker.com/lifestyle/environmentally-conscious-eco-friendly/sustainable-eco-projects-on-koh-phi-phi-islands/ - just in case is you need the full URL) #ecoideas #recycleideas #plasticreuse #hergebruiken #ecobricks #ecobrickproject #sustainabletourism #ecoresponsible #ecodiving #trashherothailand #trashheroes #ecotravelblogger #splashpacker

New personal travel blog update on Splashpacker, a New personal travel blog update on Splashpacker, available to read in English & Dutch. Reflections on my return to the Maldives. After 8 years I return to the very same island I was working as a diving instructor in 2010. And as a surprise the marine life has only improved. Soon more about the scuba diving but here some thoughts upon reflecting to this beautiful little island country in the Indian Ocean! https://www.splashpacker.com/splashpacker-travel-blog/splashpacker-dive-travel-blog-7-reflections-on-my-return-to-the-maldives/ #travelblog #reisbloggers #maldivesblog #reflectioms #travelreflections #reflecties #malediven #veligandu #veliganduisland #veliganduislandresort

Here I am doing stand up paddle with the fireflies Here I am doing stand up paddle with the fireflies at the Loboc river on Bohol Island in the Philippines. This night time activity was a very cool experience and you´ll see so many fireflies. I was the only one booked in for this activity so I had my private guide! And he told me that the only danger on the river could be a falling coconut. Therefore you should always stay in the middle of the river whilst supping. Something else than a nightdive LOL! Fireflies instead of glowing plankton! This blogpost comes soon when I´m finished catching up with all Maldives posts! #lobocriverbohol #lobocriver #supatnight #vuurvliegjes #fireflysup #nightsup #standuppaddlegirl #nightactivities #lobocriver #firefliestour #lovephilippines #foxandthefireflycottages #suppingtime #suppingadventures #firefliessup

Another impression of Cordeca wreck, located close Another impression of Cordeca wreck, located close to Porto Santo Island. Check full post on http://ow.ly/SOD350B9Jw7 and a little video on Splashpacker YouTube channel. The wreck sunk only a few years ago so it´s pretty in tact and you can enter the rooms fully. Madeira & Porto Santo are very safe places to travel too in times of COVID19 because they test all incoming travellers on the airport! #splashpacker #portosantoisland #cordecawreck #wreckdiveportosanto #wreckdiver #scubadestinations #covidsafedestinations #shedives #girlsthatscubadive #girlsthatwreckdive #divetravelblog #reisbloggers

Sri Lanka is a great destination for lots of diffe Sri Lanka is a great destination for lots of different things. The train ride from Kandy to the coast offers one of the most beautiful views I ever saw. In the meantime you can hop on and off to discover mountain landscapes, safari´s, forests, and end up at a surf destination! This is little Adams peak, a easy hike you can do at one of your stops.
