Komodo is know for its crazy strong currents. So, despite wanting to go, due to my fear of strong currents I never thought I would. But incredible pictures kept popping up on my feeds; not just of the underwater life, but the surrounding islands too. Girls That Scuba hosted a liveaboard there, and it seemed …
I wasn't meant to go diving this Easter. I'd booked a yoga retreat at Hariharaliya (post coming later) just outside Siem Reap, Cambodia, with a few besties, planning to head straight back to Hong Kong after. But a month before departure, in a whirlwind couple of days I applied for and accepted a full time position …

When I first saw the Great White Shark Conservation advert in the STA brochure I thought I'd be spending a week living on a research boat with marine biologists. I'm not sure why I thought this, but the ambiguous description also meant the other volunteers also no idea what to expect from the program either. …
After getting a wee bit stroppy (me? Never?!) that we didn’t leave Bocas early enough to cross the border and catch the boat to Tortugera we decided to stop off in Cahuita. WHAT A BLESSING!!
