I’m a huge fan of good design. I studied architecture for a time and although I never completed my degree I still love to admire good architecture wherever I go. Architecture is an important part of how we can love a space and make it practical and beautiful. I really loved @seaestakomodo - a boutique hotel/hostel in Labuan Bajo. The location is on a steep hill of a dry and hot port town, the gateway to the UNESCO listed Komodo National Park. The genius of this hotel design was in adopting the influence of Moroccan Riad design to maximise the use of space, as well minimise heat build up in the building, while also creating lots of unique private spaces and scenic social spaces on the rooftop. It was one of the nicest and most unique places I’ve stayed for a while. I truly wish people would put more thought into design or what they build. It’s hard to find good design and yet if you value it and invite it into your project plans, it can make such a huge difference to everything.

“You are here to understand yourself, not to be understood.”
~Unknown~

How true. In our youth we often feel misunderstood and blame those around us for “not getting me”, especially our parents. As I’ve become older I know very well that they may never understand us, but that was never the point. I am the only one who is supposed to understand myself, and that is a daily practise. I am sometimes the most frustrating person I know.

I just had an absolutely magical week diving in Komodo with @uberscubakomodo and staying at the beautiful @seaestakomodo. Komodo has long been my most favourite diving destination in the world, and being able to stay and dive off the liveaboard boat Amalia was the perfect way to revisit my favourite spots. Liveaboard trips are always my favourite because you are immersed in nature 24/7. Being out at sea at night and seeing the Milky Way, or seeing dolphins swim around the boat at sunrise is as magical as what you see underwater during the dives. And you lose track of time, making it feel like a truly big adventure and like you’ve been on holiday for months rather than a week.

I have posted more diving photos on my underwater account @she.loves.sea and I also made a highlights video of the trip (link in bio). If you dive (or want to dive) then this is a place to put high on your bucket list.

Now, THAT’S a powerful truth to ponder.

// time for a breather // We are off on a liveaboard dive holiday (yay!) and I am going to use the opportunity of having no phone signal to enjoy some time out. I try to take a week or two each year by switching off completely. The way that time stretches when you are off the grid is just magical, so much inner space.
It was a bit tearful saying goodbye to our cats. Both John & I start welling up with tears when we talk about them since we left our home. We were never about the cats. Goes to show how life can change you, or the other way around, or something... Can’t wait to see them again soon.
See you again soon too 😊
