Travel Series Part 5: Goa, 🇮🇳 ~ 11/2010 💜 Goa nests on the West side of India, along the Arabian Sea. The sandy beaches, cocohut culture and laidbackness of its residents make this state a perfect destination for everyone. A mix of Hinduism, Islam, Christianity and Catholism are found here, along with a Portuguese colonial architecture that reflects a rich history. Purple, orange, green apple, yellow and bright blue are among the colours of many of the houses. Lines of palm trees hug the beaches and the waters of the sea are warm and inviting for a good swim. In the mornings, fishermen arrive on the beach with their humungous net full of small fish, crabs and sea snakes (yes, 4 foot sea snakes). The women fill their baskets with the creatures and carry them on their head to where they will be dried and then sold at the market. It is amazing to witness this morning work and this team effort, both men and women putting force and energy in every detail. - While enjoying the laid back atmosphere of the Coast, we met a father and son who took us on their wooden boat where we had the most unexpected, most extraordinary opportunity to swim amongst a pod of wild dolphins. We then finished our time in Goa by celebrating Diwali with the locals.

Travel Series Part 4: Kathmandu🇳🇵~ 10/2010 💚 Located at the foothills of the Himalayas, Nepal has been an admired destination for trekkers and climbers since the 1950′s, and has been on my list for a very long time. - We left the buzzing town of Thamel and travelled around Kathmandu. For 3 days we trekked through sprawling forests of pines, oaks, wild cherry and rhododendrons, and rural villages where we caught a glimpse of villagers going about their day. We traversed alpine meadows, hiked through yak pastures and crossed glacial moraines. When the trail narrowed in the jungle, we observed the prayer flags hanging from the trees, floating through the mountain mist. As we gained elevation and started to hike the mountainside footpath, we feasted on the views plunging into a dramatic landscape of maize fields and rice terraces.

In the name of International Day of Peace, I want to present you as part 3 of my Travel Series, one of my favorite, most fascinating places in the world I got the unique chance to visit: Tibet ~ 10/2010 💙Along as witnessing Mt Everest from your own eyes, standing in the Dalai Lama’s bedroom amongst whispering monks, and traveling through the highest, most incredible landscapes, Tibetans are another reason why you want to visit Tibet. Their generosity and genuine personality tell you so much about their reality. Refusing to assimilate to Chinese culture, they insist in preserving their culture alive by inhabiting their villages along the mountains and cultivating barley and straw to feed their animals. It is an isolated community rich in traditions, beliefs and superstitions. They will welcome you inside their homes and offer you a Yak butter tea (the name speaks for itself). The scabbing cheeks of the young reveal a cold weather but the warmth of their smiles offer you a great memory of the inhabitants of this autonomous prefecture. #internationaldayofpeace

Travel Series Part 2: Varanasi 🇮🇳 ~ 10/2010 💚Varanasi is a city located on the banks of the Ganges River in northern India, where people of all faiths live in harmony. This popular pilgrimage destination draws over a million pilgrims each year. They come to pray, wash their sins in the sacred waters and some to die on the banks of the river. For all, it is a journey of a lifetime. Shrines, temples and palaces are built on the water’s edge while nearly 100 ghats formed by a series of steps of stones lead to the river. - When I spent some time by the river of the Ganges, I witnessed the most incredible unity and harmonious coexistence between Buddhists, Hindous and Muslims. Such a peaceful place, filled with religious diversity. A place where everyone respect differences in beliefs, and are taught to live together in peace. Isn't it how it should be? . . . #travel #travelling #travelphotography #India #Varanasi #harmony #backpacking #traveloften #liveyouradventure #finditliveit #crazyinlove #backpackingaddicts #backpackingadventures #travelstories #travelstoke #adventuresabroad #roamtheplanet #adventureoften #neverstopexploring #travelphoto #wearetravelgirls #exploringtheglobe #letsgoeverywhere #planetdiscoveries #theprettycities #sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #globelletravels #mytinyatlas

Introducing a ‘Travel Series’, a curated collection of photos from my favourite corners of the world (so far) to beautify those rainy days (pssst, it’s snowing up there, eh!): Part 1: The Golden Triangle 🇮🇳 ~ 9/2010 💛 From buzzing bazaars and racing tuk-tuks to tranquil havens, architectural marvels and the ethereal Taj Mahal, the Golden Triangle is an extraordinary wealth of cultural and historical splendours and is a fantastically varied introduction to the sights and sounds of India. . . . #travel #travelling #travelphotography #India #GoldenTriangle #backpacking #traveloften #liveyouradventure #finditliveit #crazyinlove #backpackingaddicts #backpackingadventures #travelstories #travelstoke #adventuresabroad #roamtheplanet #adventureoften #neverstopexploring #travelphoto #wearetravelgirls #exploringtheglobe #letsgoeverywhere #planetdiscoveries #theprettycities #sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #globelletravels #mytinyatlas

What would I do without you. 🐺🐕

Please BC, make it rain! We want to see the sky again!

"In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you." ~ Deepak Chopra

Hazed and confused celebrating this captain’s 40th orbit around the sun.✨

Happiness has no frontiers, it's a state of mind and not a possession, not a set route through life, not a goal to be gained but something that starts in gently like an evening mist or the morning sunlight — something beyond our control. ~Robin Lee Graham, passage from Dove

That was my smile captured a few years ago after I dove the magnificent Blue Hole of Belize. I’m not only smiling because I dove one of the top wonders of the underwater world, my deepest dive so far at 150ft... I’m smiling because I had the exhilarating chance to share the sinkhole with a school of blacktip sharks. I’ve always been fascinated by the beauty of sharks, and there I was diving with these majestic giants of the deep, swimming peacefully and curiously next to me (from a safe distance obviously). I’m so thankful for this incredible experience and I hope people understand the importance of conserving those beautiful and greatly needed creatures of our ocean’s ecosystem. #sharkweek
