Did you ever just want to escape your life to a secluded island in the middle of nowhere? Lie on white beaches, swim in crystal clear waters, sip cocoa while lying in a hammock and not have a single wonder for that very moment other than whether to move a bit further into the shade....? 1. Koh Rong Sanloem This is a beautiful little chill and a relaxing island around an hour boat ride from the mainland where you can chill all-day and chill all night. Take the speedboat and get off at M’Pai Bay. Pick a hostel in the first row for waves lullabying you to sleep at night, or 2nd or 3rd row for a bit cheaper and quieter nights. Nighttime is good for enjoying a bonfire, the Milky Way, and the amazing experience of the glowing planktons in the water - which actually make the stars appear 3D - 360 degrees around you. In the daytime you can relax on the beach, snorkel the sea, or go trekking in the jungle - remember to get a guide because without a machete you won't ge...

I’ve often been asked by friends, family and sometimes strangers why I do not have children. Whether or not I want them and what might be the matter with me since I haven’t settled down already. Clearly, there must be something wrong with me because I do not have that house, those 2.1 children, the man and the little white fence. I’ve rarely had an answer to that question. What do you really answer when someone, often someone you barely know asks:” why don’t you have any children?” They phrase it like it is the most normal question in the world, and somehow they all feel entitled to ask me this very question.

Because I wasn’t ready, I haven’t found the right guy, I can’t have children, I had different dreams to for fill, I am happy the way I am… The answers are many, sometimes I even want to throw the question back into their faces. Like: Why do you have children? Why did you always dream of settling ...

Diving has always been one of my favorite activities when going traveling. It is fun and beautiful and you get to discover such a different world when you are under the sea. A world of treasures and wonders... and so unlike the one above. Below I've gathered 7 of my favorite diving spots in South East Asia and Australia that I would recommend to everyone.  Enjoy 1. Coral Garden, Langkawi The most famous spot for diving around Langkawi is the Pulau Payar Marine Park. Located around an hour ferry ride south of Langkawi leaving the Kuah Jetty. I did two dives here. The main attraction is the Coral Garden. This dive-site is a shallow site with the coral-reef at around 10 meters depth. But don’t feel cheated. The rocks are covered with beautiful soft corals in clear white, blue and purple colors. You will also encounter plenty of the branching tree corals, anemones hiding schools of clownfish and huge sea fans. There is a great variety of plant and animal wildlife with many of t...
