D'you wan'masaaage?

Thailand definitely took me by surprise!
Going there I had a lot of thought about it being too commercial, too easy, too filled with travellers who had never travelled before and only were there for the partying. Yes. I was a snob, I admit. I wasn’t let down by any of these expectations though. But Thailand turned out to be so much more than that.

I went with Liv and Michael to one of the hotspots, Koh Phangan, where you for sure will find all of the aboves fulfilled. And then at some point (probably in between some buckets), I gave in. And man, did I love it. I did exactly what everyone else in the place did. Went to the beach in the day and drank my buckets in the night. Sometimes doing a motorbikeride and some dancing into the early hours in addition.

And you know what? I get it now. There is something about the life with absolutely no worries, days growing together and you just experiencing yourself being in the middle of it all; melting into it. It's magical.

So, in the future. No more bad words of Thailand from me. I promise.

Free as a bird

The slow life on the beach is doing me good. Many things has been dealt with and closed this week and I feel more at peace.

That's it. I don't have anything else to say today. Just wanted to upload a few pics :)

Kisses.

LOVE.

Coconut is my new favorite food!

Ok, imagine this: While writing I'm lying in a hammock on a white sand beach, enjoying a coconut shake and watching the sun setting above the ocean. I'm almost jealous of myself sometimes! This is SO amazing!

Met up with my old friend Liv from back at home and her boyfriend Michael who's from the States. Together we travelled to Koh Phangan, the island that’s know for it’s fullmoon parties. Unfortunately we missed is by some days, so instead we went to the half moon party. Theme of the night: trance techno. Man, it was fun!! As always; danced the night away...

These days I’m mainly hanging around with Liv and Michael, enjoying the beautiful beach (which we have almost to ourselves), doing yoga and catching up on my danish with Liv.


Getting to the island was interesting. Thailand certainly still lives up to my former impression; the easiest country to travel in, in all of Asia. At the beginning of the journey we got colour coded stickers handed, so we could be turned in the right direction throughout all the switch in transport. It felt like being cattle. I guess it was fun for a change, but I felt a little stupid to be honest and they kinda took away the thing I love the most about travelling; the succes of figuring it out all by yourself.

As always I wanna end this post with love flying in every directions from me to you guys! Remember to make this day special. I now for sure that I will!
