Selling My Things! :)

Hello,friends, family, an everyone else in between! From now on and for the next couple of months I will be selling pretty much everything I own. Anything from winter coats, skiing jackets, dresses, shirts, pants, sweaters, shoes, jewelery , accesories, cameras, CDs, other technology and many other things in between. Designer & regular clothing & shoes as well. And quite a few things while acquired overseas in places like South America, Asia & Europe. So keep your eye out  I never realized how many things I really had and what I actually need in reality, until I started traveling. And now that I am back (temporarily) I would like to empty my parents' home of my things because they take up a lot of space. It will also add to my traveling piggy bank & helping me get to my next destination  So if you, your friend, your neighbor or anyone else you know is in the market for literally ANYTHING, please let them them know because I'll probably have it and that they ...

It Was Time for a Change

Time came for me to go back to where it all started... My time on the island was up and my six month visa in Cambodia was ending. Tom was selling his business share and I was feeling like making a move soon as well. So I looked up flights to literally everywhere and I couldn't choose for days, weighing pros and cons of each country I considered. The decision was pretty much made for me one morning when I checked for flights yet again and I found an incredible deal to one place...  So a couple weeks after I found myself packing my things, which I had more of than expected and saying goodbye to Koh Rong and its inhabitants. It was a very bittersweet moment for me because in my five months living on the island, with a month being away in Thailand with Tom, I called that place my home and the people there were my family. A very dysfunctional, crazy, funny, strange family. Nonetheless, I loved it and my time there will never be forgotten. As I boarded the boat for the final tim...

Up Up and Away!

I just found this old post which never actually posted on my blog so here it is :) "We are all here for a reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future. -Robin Sharma from The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari  I am starting with a quote from Robin Sharma's book because after reading just a few chapters everyday, I rediscovered quite a few ways to make my life and the life of those around me, more meaningful and selfless. It's a great read and an easy book to pick up at any time.  Out of the books and into the real world. The island has been pretty calm. After all the recent events, I was worried coming back to the place I call home. Upon my return I was pleasantly surprised with high spirits and positivity all around. It was excellent and so reassuring. The island now appeared even more beautiful and precious than before.  Somehow things tend to be easily forgotten here. A sort of out sight, out of mind mentality. I guess it's good, people ca...

Just Live your life

It's been more than a year now that I've been rampaging through Asia. Before that, I was here for half a year with only a little bit of time in between in Lithuania, London and then the US. Time goes by so fast, I can't really believe it.  A year and a half wandering through South East Asia. Didn't see that coming. I knew I was going to end up somewhere away, although I didn't expect it to be on the other side of the world!! I'm so used to how my life has been in the last couple years, that it's quite hard to imagine it any other way.  Traveling has been the greatest adventure I never imagined. I did and saw so much in the last couple years that it feels like I've already lived a lifetime or two! I definitely don't feel like I am 26 in terms of what I've seen. What I do feel is young, alive, richer with knowledge and experience.  Before I started traveling, the world seemed mysterious and scary. And of course it still is those things but I am not...

A new chapter or maybe even a new book...

Baby duckies living at Island Boys  Two days ago,around midday, I left Cambodia and crossed into Thailand. I left half a year of my life behind me, moving forward. Will I ever return to Cambodia? Who knows. You never know where life may take you. For now though, this chapter of my life is closed, making space for new pages. A quick look back on my time on Koh Rong... Whoa! Where to begin? 4km Beach Well, let's get this one straight from the beginning. I didn't start my yoga business while being on the island even though that was the original reason I stayed there. I did a lot of swimming though, so that was keeping me healthy and fit. I worked for a little guesthouse, restaurant, bar called Vagabond's and got to see behind the scenes life of people in Cambodia as well as the foreigners coming here. I met some amazing people and a few that I can actually call friends. I was loved dearly by Aila, the Vagabond's dog who was a young pup when I ...
