A Journey through the Mind and Soul - 10 Day Vipassana Meditation Course

12/2/2018

14 Comments

 
For 26 years the mind has been conditioned to solve problems, to figure things out, and to THINK. Breaking that habit pattern is not easy, but exactly what this journey and course is all about. The mind will rebel, it will become agitated and annoyed, you will feel like running away and questioning why the heck you are doing this - but in the end you will realize it is all part of that journey, going deeper into your body and starting to peel off layer for layer, going deeper and deeper into the mind and soul. Making you realize the important things in your life, making it easier to make decisions, and knowing what is right and wrong (not in a sense of morality, but in a sense of what is right for you in that moment), and gaining so much clarity on your past, the present, and even the future.

Best 7 Free Spots to Visit on Langkawi from a Semi Local

12/1/2018

I have been on Langkawi for almost three months now and would say I know my way around. Even though the days have gone by in a breeze and the weeks have turned into months, looking back at it, I saw a lot.
​I tried out most of the restaurants along Cenang Road, found my few favourites I keep going back to; dared to get back on a scooter and cruise around the island after such a big and traumatizing accident; and have made many friends, both local and fellow travellers. Basically, I unpacked my bags, spread out, and started creating a small home here to settle into for those three months.

Temporary Home - Langkawi

29/12/2017

After a few days in Singapore guess where I ended up - yup back in Malaysia! A country I travelled through for 2,5 months, I just somehow fell in love with it. The food, soooo delicious and extremely easy for vegetarians; the culture, which is such a big mix of so many religions and traditions that even the western travellers feel welcome and integrated; and the people, who are some of the friendliest and kindest people I have met, always there to help you out if you need it (and randomly spend you food or tea without even talking to them). It is a country I feel welcomed in, comfortable and safe (this is especially important for us solo female travellers!

My Favourite Places in Malaysia - Part One

10/11/2017

​As you all know, this was the first destination after my huge scooter accident and spending two weeks in the hospital in Bangkok recovering. I wanted to go somewhere I could relax, take it easy and fully recover (I wasn't allowed to and also physically couldn't walk very much) for a while. And Malaysia was just the perfect place for me to do so.

Malaysia Overview

​First of all, Malaysia is a great country to go to even when, or maybe especially when, you aren't feeling so great...

It is a very developed country where everyone, and I mean EVERYONE speaks english! Wow what a relief. As much fun as it is to communicate with hands and feet and learning bits of different languages to make yourself better understood in Southeast Asian countries, it is also very nice to be able to ask for something in your own language and people to actually understand and reply to you.

The people here are extremely friendly, and yes I know I have been saying that so far about every country I have been to so far in Asia, but Malaysia takes friendliness to the next level.
