Six years ago my younger sister and her husband were on their Southeast Asia trip. She called me and asked if I wanted to join them either in Sri Lanka or India. And next thing I knew I was booking myself a ticket to Sri Lanka. It was one of my most spontaneous and genius decisions, resulting in one of the greatest trips of my life. • • My older sister and father ended up joining as well, and it was one of the best family trips we’ve had to date. • • Facebook reminded me of this a couple of days ago, and it took me by surprise, because I wasn’t expecting it. But it was a fun reminder, even if it is a bit bitter since we can’t travel anywhere right now. • • So here are a few pics from my first few days there, in the capital city of Colombo. Which isn’t the most sympathetic or clean city (far from it), but I did manage to capture a few beautiful moments. • • • How about you? Any fun Facebook reminders lately? What was your greatest/ most spontaneous trip? • • • • • • • • • • #familytrips #familytravels #srilankatrip #srilankatravel #spontaneoustrip #travelandwrite #writeandtravel #travelmoments #missingtravel #missingtravelling #wannatraveltheworld #wannatravelagain #travelblogging #travelbloggerlife #travelmemories #travelmemory #pasttravels #pasttrip #pasttrips #colombotravel #sixyearsago #sixyearsagoalready #facebookmemories (at Colombo, Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6KJ9jpe_Z/?igshid=1u14usia0tduu

Edge of Straight (i just changed the lyrics to edge of great)

Running from the past Tripping on the now What is lost can be found, it’s obvious And like a rubber ball We come bouncing back We all got a second act, inside of us

I believe I believe That we’re just one scream Away from who we’re meant to be That we’re standing on the edge of Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own Cause we’re standing on the edge of Straight / But they’re not quite straight

Straight / But they’re not quite straight

Straight / But they’re not quite straight

Cause we’re standing on the edge of …

STRAIGHT! We all make mistakes But they’re just stepping stones To take us where we wanna go It’s never straight, no Sometimes we gotta lean Lean on someone else To get a little help Until we find our way I believe I believe That we’re just one dream Away from who we’re meant to be That we’re standing on the edge of Something big, something crazy Our best days are yet unknown That this moment is ours to own Cause we’re standing on the edge of Straight / But they’re not quite straight Straight / But they’re not quite straight Straight / But they’re not quite straight Cause we’re standing on the edge of … Shout, shout C’mon and let it out, out Don’t gotta hide it

Let your colors blind their eyes Be who you are no compromise

Just shout, shoutC’mon and let it out, outWhat doesn’t kill you makes you feel aliveOhh oohI believeI believeThat we’re just one dreamAway from who we’re meant to beThat we’re standing on the edge ofSTRAIGHT / Something big, something crazyOur best days are yet unknownThat this moment is ours to ownCause we’re standing on the edge of Straight / But they’re not quite straight Straight / But they’re not quite straight Straight / But they’re not quite straight Woah-oh-oh-oh, on the edge ofRunning from the pastTripping on the nowWhat is lost can be found, it’s obvious

Freiburg, Germany. • • Have you ever gotten that feeling, when you arrive at a certain place, and something just clicks? Unexplainable and all consuming, it just feels right, like you and this place are meant to be. • • I’m talking deeper than just the regular infatuation of a beautiful city or village, I’m talking about how you can just see yourself in that place for the rest of your life, how something about it just gives you peace of mind and a sense of home. It is the way I feel everytime I visit London, and when I arrived at Freiburg I felt it there too. • • Besides being a beautiful city at the edge of the Black Forest, the people there are so kind and nice. It is also a green city, that pays much significance to the environment and keeps the streets clean - which only enhances its unique beauty. • We took a cable car up the Schlossbergbahn hill, and walked around the peak - and there is a breathtaking view of Germany, France and Switzerland. On the way back we walked down the mountains and picked some yummy berries, and even got a bit lost - which is always part of the fun and experience. • • • How about you? Have you ever gotten that feeling when you arrived somewhere? Which city would you want to live in? • • • • • • • • • • • • #freiburgcity #freiburgtrails #freiburgtravel #germanytravel #blackforest #blackforestgermany #blackforesttrail #blackforesttravel #travelandexplore #travelandwrite #travelwriting #favoritecities #feelingwhole #blackforestview #cablecar #pasttrip #pasttrips #pasttravels #bloggingabouttravel #travelblogging #travelblogger #travellifestyle (at Freiburg im Breisgau) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC1F3EOp9kb/?igshid=1ggsrbktorhw1

So yesterday I posted that fours years ago I was in Luang Prabang, Laos. And it was truly a wonderful experience. • • What really makes a trip great, are the activities we fill it with. And as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, Luang Prabang had many amazing and memorable ones. • • Another one of those activities was a wood carving workshop. It was fun, therapeutic and a new and great experience. Best of all - I got to carve an elephant out of wood 🐘 • • • How about you? Do you like doing workshops while traveling? Have you tried wood carving? • • • • • • • • • #woodcarvings #woodcarvingart #woodcarvingworkshop #carvingworkshop #luangprabang #pasttrips #pasttravels #woodenelephant #carvingwood #carvingelephant #travelwriting #travelandwrite #personalblog #personalblogger #personalbloggers #laostravel #workshoplife #workshoplaos #travelactivities #travelactivity #traveladdiction #writingaddict (at หลวงพระบาง : ຫຼວງພຣະບາງ : Luang Prabang) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCi7GuapUZr/?igshid=dmc09hdcr8ok

Four years ago today I concluded my one month trip in Laos. It may have been a bit tainted by anxiety and traveling with the wrong person, but it is such an incredible country, that it helped me overcome it all. • • I hope to go back one day, for a chance to travel there without the bitter taste of anxiety and with the right person. But seeing as right now it isn’t possible for several reasons, I need to settle for Facebook reminders, posting and sharing the pictures and my memories. • • How about you? What are some of your travel memories? Where would you like to go back to? • • • • • • • • • • • #travelandexplore #travellaos #travelandwrite #travelandwritetoday #writeandtravel #laostravel #fouryearsagoalready #fouryearsago #fourtearsagotoday #pasttravels #pasttrip #travelmemory #facebookmemories #personalblog #personalblog🌸 #personalbloggers #personalblogging #persobalexperience #travelexperience #doover #missingtravel #missigtravelling #travelvideos (at Laos ไอเฅัก) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCqtqHkJJCb/?igshid=13nmm5t9vanzj

Four years ago today. • Four years ago today I was in Vang Vieng, Laos. It is one of the most amazing, tranquil places I’ve ever been. We spent a whole week there, and it truly was great. • However, due to my anxiety and restlessness I had a hard time relaxing, despite the perfect surroundings. • At the time, it was filled with coffee shops and restaurants playing episodes of friends, and people lounging around drinking shakes and smoking. • I was going stir crazy from just watching others doing nothing. And as much as I wanted just to lounge around, I couldn’t. • I am an active person who needs to keep busy. And mixed with the anxiety, I just couldn’t enjoy the complete calmness of the place. • That being said, I would probably still go back there in a heartbeat. Although, I’ve heard it’s not the same anymore... • • • How about you? Do you enjoy lounging around on holidays? Has anxiety stopped you from being completely present? • • • • • • • • • • • • • #bloggerscommunity #aspiringblogger #bloggerslifestyle #bloggersofinstagram #vangvieng #vangviengtrip #vangvienglaos #laostrip #fouryearsagoalready #fouryearsago #fouryearsagotoday #travelwriting #writingabouttravel #travelandwrite #writeandtravel #pasttrip #pasttravels #pasttravel #copingwithanxiety #anxietyawareness #anxietyproblems #anxietysupport (at Vang Vieng) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0vMnfpyod/?igshid=1oa6w0r5juaav

Four years ago today I was in Railay Beach, which is so tiny but also so much fun. We were there just for a few days, and could probably stay even longer. • • The tide would get so low, that you could walk along the beach for miles, where usually there would be water during the high tide. You can see in the pictures all the beautiful stones and rocks that were revealed from under the tide. • • One of my personal favorite thing about the place was the delicious Indian restaurant that we ate at ever evening? • • • How about you? Have you been to Railay Beach? Do you prefer small, tranquil locations or large, busy ones? Personally, I like combining and doing a bit of both. • • • • • • • • • • #railaybeach #railaybeachthailand #lowtide #beachvacation #travelandwrite #travelandwritetoday #travelandwriting #writeandtravel #pasttravel #pasttrip #thailandtravel #fouryearsagotoday #travelmemories #travelmemory #personalexperience #personalblogger #personalblogs (at Railay Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUPuDgpBjk/?igshid=7y0rgpqn3nyn

Four years ago today I was in this little slice of heaven. Koh Phi Phi is one of the most beautiful, tranquil places I have ever been, and by far was my favorite island in Thailand. • • It is so tiny, but makes such a huge impact. And if I could be anywhere in the world right now, this is where I would go, hands down. And when the skies open again, I hope to make it the first destination I visit. • • • How about you? Where would you like to be right now? What would be your first destination once the lockdown is over? • • • • • • • • • • #pasttravels #travelmemories #travelmemory #misstraveling #misstravel #missingtravel #wanttotravel #wannatravelagain #pasttrip #travelwriters #travelwriting #travelandwrite #writeandtravel #travelblogging #travelmoments #personalmemories #personalblogs #personalblogging #kohphiphi #kohphiphiisland #kohphiphitrip #thailandtravel #thailandmemories (at Koh phi-phi เกาะ พีพี) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDO0OYTpcwE/?igshid=1h8vgzzdruk59
