Some of these are funny, others are scary, some just beautiful. But these are the moments that have stuck with me over the years. Mostly the reasons why I would do it all over again.
- Being Kidnapped by Shirley the elephant and meeting that same elephant again pregnant with Milla many years later. Footage to back it up.. Here
- Given a scorpion as a pet by the Nubian crew in the south of Egypt. We named her baby Jane and fed her fly wings but she died. Photo
- Waking up to a sandviper at the end of your bed, thinking its plastic and trying to play with it.
- Swimming in Crystal clear seas. Photo
- Secretly keeping dessert mise as pets.
- Listening to music while riding the waves at the bow of the boat. Photo
- Being dropped of by camels in the desert and being left there for the night.
- Sleeping under the starts for months.
- Ending up in a remote village with stories about in breeding and child abuse and wanting to get away as quickly as possible.
- Being woken up by monkeys throwing coconuts on your roof on a nightly base.
- Having meals with the locals preferably without utensils.
- Laying in a hammock on a beautiful beach as a paying job.
- Counting satellites and shooting stars in the middle of the red sea.
- Motorbike accidents happening faster than the wounds could heal.
- Naked nightly swims in the ocean.
- Jumping of a large boats roof while afraid of heights. Photo
- Making a big bonfire with palm leaves on a deserted beach instead of a X mas tree on X mas eve. Photo
- Diving with playful schooling hammerheads for 45 mins.
- Seeing dolphins around you as far as the eye can see. Start crying – Try to hide it – And realise almost all your guests are sobbing because its the most beautiful thing ever.
- Getting eaten by sandflies
- Howling at thunderstorms in the middle of the ocean.
- Having this picture taken. Photo
- Sleeping in between hundreds of flying cockroaches because you have been robbed and its that or the street.
- Swimming in waterfalls. Photo
- Watching the most beautiful sunsets day after day after day. Photo
- Being able to say that your home sank and mourn it like it was a person.
- Making friends for life!
