Part Time Traveller. Full Time Dropout.

Spring 2017 Summary

October 25, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

I am writing this summary in Autumn, sitting sleepily and jet-lagged on the rooftop Terrace of my Bangkok Hotel, starting the Autumn campaign. Better late than never. Seriously, what was I thinking? So many flights? I had to change flights and spend hours or nights at Jakarta Airport four times. Crazy, isn’t it? Duration: 7 … [Read more…]

Carefully Administered Doses of Culture, in Yogyakarta

May 2, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Gentle readers, if you are exhausted by all the ocean – and fish – themed recent posts, here is something completely different: culture. Well, some culture… Dancer in traditional Javanese costume. On my way back from West Papua to civilization, and ultimately, my home, I had a few days to burn. So I decided it … [Read more…]

Airports of the World: Domine Eduard Osok, Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia

May 2, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Surprise: We are in West Papua, at the end of the world, and Sorong airport is small, but fairly new and comfy. And even decorative, in some places: I did not see any coffee franchise, but then I didn’t look for it – I am sure there was cappuccino to be had, somewhere. The toilet … [Read more…]

I’m a MOM!

April 27, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

…well, in a way. I never wanted children. However, for a good cause, I’ve adopted a wonderful creature. Meet my kid: Isn’t she a BEAUTY? Melusine is a 4m wide melanistic female Reef Manta. I have adopted her and made a donation to the marine megafauna foundation. Why am I doing this? The MMF works … [Read more…]

April 27, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

I hope I’m not boring you yet… but I have to talk about all the awesome encounters I had in the seas of Raja Ampat. The sheer numbers of fish to be seen. The giants and the small critters. I even had one of my big dreams come true: I spotted a Whale Shark from the boat. … [Read more…]

More Fish. The Small Ones and the Cuties: Pretty Wildlife of Raja Ampat

April 20, 2017 by inge 2 Comments

  As I said in my last post, it is very difficult to show you the awesome, amazing creatures of Raja Ampat. I have shown you an overview, but there is so much more to see… Let’s start with the smallest creatures: pygmy sea horses. Sadly, my Gopro can’t film them, and being somewhat near-sighted, … [Read more…]

Diving in Raja Ampat: The Greatest Show on Earth

April 20, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

School of Sweetlips, tightly packed and very relaxed.   In my previous post, I just talked about the dive resort I stayed at in Raja Ampat, the bungalow, the food, the sunsets. But, you might ask, what about the diving? That’s what it’s about, right? You’re right. Gentle reader, diving is the reason to go … [Read more…]

Staying at the Papua Explorer Resort, Gam Island, Raja Ampat

April 5, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Dear Readers, my apologies for the recent hiatus in blog posting. But. • My dive resort had a very slow internet connection. • Raja Ampat was so beautiful, words failed me. • Back home I needed a holiday from the holiday. • Then there were too many photos to choose from. • Lastly, I’m a lazy … [Read more…]

Nuts on the Andaman Coast

March 10, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

This is just a very short post written to celebrate the good things in life. In this case, it’s about leisure and coconuts. Thailand’s Andaman Coast around Krabi and Ao Nang is pretty, with limestone hills and crags, and islands on the horizon. Countless Thai longtails ferry people back and forth between crags, beaches, islands. … [Read more…]

Things I didn’t see, and didn’t do, in Chiang Mai

March 5, 2017 by inge Leave a Comment

Chiang Mai is a nice town, full of touristy infrastructure, in Northern Thailand. There is a lot to see and do here for the average tourist, including lots of cultural and nature things, and several interesting ways to get killed, I suppose. Most of those things I didn’t do. For example: – see temples. After … [Read more…]
