Once again, Monkey Dive Hostel in Khao Lak. I real

Once again, Monkey Dive Hostel in Khao Lak. I really loved this little scuba divers lodge. That bed was so comfortable, and the whole place was as clean as this room! Did you know that seahorses are monogamous and that the male seahorse carries the unborn young?

Even a jellyfish can create a photo moment 🙂 At least I tried to play a bit with my Nikon Coolpix. Check out the blogpost I wrote about my review and experience with the Nikon Coolpix camera and why I am so happy about that camera!

Top 10 of trash found in the world´s oceans.

This is quite interesting, although the numbers are depressive. I took this photo @blueviewdivers on the Phi Phi Islands. This dive centre is doing great projects to help the environment, make people aware and conserve the oceans. Full blogpost on Splashpacker.com

Wat Chalong Temple Park on Phuket Island is pretty impressive! And it's huge as well! One of my older travel blog post includes a visit to this temple park in Thailand.

Meet Ginja, my new friend on Porto Santo Island <3

Meet Ginja, my new friend on Porto Santo Island <3 This dusky grouper interact with divers in such a lovely way. He happily welcomed us as soon as went down and stayed with us during the complete dive. It was such an amazing experience. Ginja re-opened my heart for the ocean after doing other jobs than teaching diving but he made me reconsider all those other jobs instantly!

You can read a full blog post about scuba diving Porto Santo on slpashpacker.com or check out a little video about Ginja on Splashpacker YouTube channel!

In Portugese, Ginja means sweet cherry!

Make up mood 😁 I think I did not touch it for like 4 months 🤣

Now the challenge is putting on the facemask 😷 without wiping it all off and have a 'made-up facemask' 😂

No filters, yes make up 😁 Ready for a girlsnight 😁

One typical way of travelling around in the Philip

One typical way of travelling around in the Philippines is by jeepney. The part of the truck behind the driver is constructed with 2 benches over the length of the truc where the people are sitting against each other, like facing each other. Usually there is a guy standing/hanging in the back to signal the driver when to stop or helping someone getting in and take payment. A lot of jeepneys, like this one, are painted and pimped 🙂

This jeepney just dropped me back at Loboc at the river on Bohol island! The Philippines is one of my favourite countries to travel around!

Nice sunset on Maldives. My friend on Rasdhoo send

Nice sunset on Maldives. My friend on Rasdhoo send this photo to me!

Rasdhoo Island is located next to the famous divesite 'Madivaru Corner' which is home to the hammerheads, many white tips, grey reef sharks, black tips, Napoleons, leaf fish, manti shrimp & stonefish. You also have a chance to see big groups of eagle rays, turtles, lobsters and much more.

All inclusive dive site definetely!! Read more about diving around Rasdhoo and staying on a local island in the Maldives on splashpacker.com

Soon there will be a travel blog update about retuning to Veligandu Island as a visitior, 8 years after I lived and worked there!.

In Khao Lak, in Thailand, is a really cool hostel

In Khao Lak, in Thailand, is a really cool hostel created especially for scuba divers. It´s called the Monkey Dive Hostel and I had a real nice stay there. The accommodation looked very new, it was very clean and everything is decorated the ´divers way´. A lot of fishlife, but this one was painted on my bedroom wall!
