little victories.
I do live in Paradise and any bitching or moaning I do will sound like, well, bitching and moaning. I don’t have to deal with a lot of the things that you (out there in the real world) do. I don’t have bills or traffic jams, I don’t have financial stress or a job to … Read more
Cute, cuddly and delicious.
Over the past few weeks I’ve had many a discussion about food – meat namely – and what I would eat and what I wouldn’t eat. Through the discussion with my Muslim friends here in BK, they all say no to pork, absolutely no way will they let pig pass through their lips. But, on … Read more
We wait, I write…
There has been no surf since last Tuesday, so things are getting a little antsy in the village. There is only so long we can all sit around the restro talking shit – although we do manage to do a very good job of it for at least three hours every afternoon. I’m in the … Read more
turtles, batu hiu and mojitos… a day unlike the others
Yesterday we decided that it was about time that we got out of the village and went and saw some of the sites that the tourists travel so far to come and see. So, we (Sara, our wonderful new Belgian friend Emilie and myself) left the village early in the morning and headed out to Batu Hiu (Shark Rock) … Read more
A morning surf. The day awaits.
This mornings surf was not that great. Good company though. Some new friends and I floated out on the ocean at about 6.45am waiting for the mornings surf to roll in. It’s a pretty spectacular time to be out on the water. The rising sun shoots crystals across the top of the bottle blue ocean that blind … Read more
Beach, beats and bintang.

Rain, Rain, go away.
It’s rainy season here in Java, Indonesia, and honestly, there hasn’t been that much heavy rain in the past few weeks, I think the heavens have been saving it all up for today… when I really wanted to go surfing. But I’m not skilled or daring enough to surf in a thunderstorm, not yet anyway. I’ve heard … Read more
The Solo Traveller.
I know a lot of girls who are scared of travelling alone. My mother for one goes into a state of panic every time I mention I might be going on an adventure solo. Even as simple as driving between states in Australia was enough to cause her to go into a spiral of What … Read more
A yellow dressed day in the Canyon of Green.
I’ve always loved white water rafting. There is something about mixing the tranquillity of a canoe trip with the high powered adrenaline pumping sport of flying over a rapid that really gets me. We spent an incredible day rafting through the rivers of Borneo last year, so when the opportunity came to go body rafting … Read more
