Day 79- diving and sunsets

So today was a pretty cool day. I got to have the best lie in. I then spent my afternoon diving. It was pretty damn awesome. We started our dive at red rock which was a beautiful site I hadn’t done before and completed the coolest swim through. This was basically like a cave underwater that we swam through to get to get to japanese gardens which is a site I have done before, but it was still pretty stunning! Here we got down to about 20m and it was beautiful. Perfect visibility. We saw the groupers, parrot fish and a tonne of schools of fish.




We then went to Chumphon Pinnacle, this is another site I had done before but it was again completely beautiful. We got to the point a little late in the day and ended up having the whole spot to ourselves. I cannot explain how nice it is when there are barely any people diving. It was awesome. Here we saw some lion fish and a huge barracuda. I am still in disbelief about how much beauty there is in the ocean. 


On these dives I had the opportunity to try out my new mask. It is the Beuchat Maxlux. It fitted like a glove and was the biggest pleasure to dive in. I didn’t have to clear my mask once. I absolutely loved it.

On the way back we watched the sunset over the ocean. Overall it was an amazing day!

An Update

Things over the last week have developed and happened really quickly. I am still trying to process how I feel. I will get round to calling everyone and talking to everyone but right now I am selfishly putting myself and my well-being (both mentally and physically first). On Tuesday I was informed I no longer had my job in Australia. This was the start of the collapse of my dream. A lot of people were in the same position and with the job market in Australia becoming more and more dire each day, thousands of people including Australians loosing their jobs, businesses shutting left right and centre as well as the daily reports that flights out of Australia were shutting down I was left with one option. I had to leave. At the time this did not feel like a choice. I knew I didn’t have the financial ability to support myself for the next 6 months, which is potentially how long it would have taken to restore any normality. I had enough money in Australia to buy a ticket home, which...

Bikinis, boat parties and first dates! 27.01.20- 02.02.20

In my effort to keep people updated more with my life I am going to try and write at least one post a week. No promises but here is my summary of the last week! Monday was a public holiday here in Australia which could mean only one thing... brunch and a day at the beach! Amanda and I decided to head on the ferry to Watson’s bay! Shamefully this is the first time that I had been on the ferry! It was absolutely beautiful seeing the city from the boat. The Sydney skyline is actually pretty spectacular.  We arrived at Watson bay and headed to the Watson bay hotel for a spot of brunch. It was delicious. Obviously it would not be brunch without cocktails. It was a day of sitting on the beach and soaking up the sun. Whilst we were there I had a hinge message. For those not in the know, hinge is a dating app. I haven’t dated anyone since leaving the UK but thought it would be fun whilst I am relatively settled in sydney. The message was from a guy called Dan, as...

What I gave up when I left home

Someone I met on my travels said to me ‘everyone long term travelling is either running from something or trying to find something’. Since hearing this I have thought a lot about this. I have said this to other people and am yet to find someone who disagrees.  Whilst I hose down pens or do other cleaning jobs which don’t require much thinking I think about home, I think about the reasons I left and I try to figure out why I left to travel. Some people might think it’s obvious, I mean who doesn’t want to see the world and have fun. You may be asking if they are reason enough but the truth is for most control freaks like myself that wasn’t a good enough reason to leave. Before I can even decide why I left I need to consider what I was giving up. Some days it feels like I gave up so much. The most obvious things I gave up were; Being able to see my family everyday Having awesome friends around An awesome career which for my age was something I was really proud of Having my ...
