14 things I realized being sober in Thailand
I really didn’t think it through when I pledged 100 days of no booze. There I was after a particularly shit-tastic break-up and my normally loyal and thoughtful brain decided to punish itself, or me, or both. One-hundred days of no booze, it said. Get your life in order, it said. Figure shit out, it […]
liveaboard to Richelieu Rock
Richelieu Rock. That’s what I’d heard. That’s what they said. If you’re a diver in Thailand, that’s the place you need to see. And so began my quest to find the right liveaboard to see this and a few other sites in the Andaman Sea – the Similan Islands, including Koh Bon and Koh Tachai. […]
sleepy Koh Chang
Posted from Ko Chang, Trat, Thailand. I need to face facts. While I do love the country and being in the wilderness, the city-girl in me can only go so long without my bright lights and chaos before I begin to wonder if civilization has imploded. After one quiet, relaxing and mosquito bite-filled week in Koh Mak […]
tips for staying in a hut
Posted from Koh Chang Tai, Trat, Thailand. It’s low season and I’m kind of bored. And happy. And calm. But bored. It’s a side-effect of being sober and being alone, or so I’ve concluded. Or it’s because I’m in a hut on a nearly deserted island living rustically. But before I get into my tips […]
Koh Mak – the secret paradise
Posted from Ko Mak, Trat, Thailand. When a traveler comes across something special, like a magical or idyllic place unspoiled by the riggers of tourism and commercialism, especially in Thailand, they get very excited. Welcome to Koh Mak. The true quest of a serious traveler is to discover such a place. To tell only those […]
Pattaya to Koh Mak
Posted from Laem Ngop, Trat, Thailand. Trying to figure out my way to Koh Mak from Pattaya during low season wasn’t as straight and narrow as one would think. But it’s easy to get there once you know the ins and outs. The thing about low season is many services are on hiatus until the […]
sexy Pattaya
Posted from Pattaya, Chon Buri, Thailand. After diving on Koh Tao I decided to head back up to Bangkok for a few days to do some shopping I neglected to do two weeks before and spend some more time with my friend. Plus, since she has weekends off, we decided we would head to Pattaya […]
sanctuary of truth
Posted from Pattaya, Chon Buri, Thailand. The Sanctuary of Truth is an all wood structure reaching 105m high. The carvings’ influences are mainly Buddhist and Hindi, taking from ancient stories and culture from parts of Asia. The four corners/towers have sculptures from ancient Thai, Khmer, Chinese and Indian beliefs and religions. From the website, “The purposes […]
who writes this stuff?
I've always loved traveling. It gets into my soul and fills me with the now. The little things in life no longer seem to matter. Culture shock gets less and less. Our similarities become more profound. I'm never more grateful for the freedom to cross borders than when I meet someone new who makes me realise yet again how good people are.
This blog is about my journeys, outside and inside - but for the most part outside. Travel is my water, and it is because of it that parts of me grow that never would otherwise.
Enjoy. Don't hesitate to contact me.
Vienna
Posted from Address not found. The train ride from Salzburg to Vienna is a short journey. There are a few train stations in Vienna, with trains departing and arriving from different locations. I wasn’t sure where my ticket would leave me, but the transportation system in the city is excellent and very straight forward to […]
