Tropic Thunder

It’s still kind of rainy season here, and we had a small typhoon warning a few days ago. I’m not actually sure what a typhoon means, but no-one here was very worried. It seems that’s what you expect at the moment. This other guy that’s also doing some freediving and me took the opportunity to [...]

800 steps…

I’m currently doing the Advanced Freediver course here, and we’re doing all kinds of freediving; just plain snorkeling out on the reef, statics in the pool, deepdiving and more. One of the neighboring island’s got a 50m swimming pool so we were planning to go to train some dynamic freediving, which is basically just swimming [...]

Emptying bottles…

So, T-3 days and counting. I am leaving the country in just over three days, and what am I doing? Polishing off my last alcohol, that’s what! No chance that I’m leaving my nice rum to someone else.
I’ve had my bathroom refurbished over the last few weeks, I finally managed to get back into my [...]

Stockholm

I’m in Stockholm right now, meeting up with family I haven’t seen in ages… Am running out of time to meet up with some friends that I had loosely agreed to meet though… (Sorry Fredrik!) Later this evening I will have filled all the requests to meet up with family which is a very good [...]

Sorry bro…

My brother and me are pretty good friends, we didn’t grow up together but we still managed to get to know each other quite well. I guess having a united front against a childhood nightmare helped to bring us together as well.
Anyway, my bro found a new love in his life a few years ago; [...]

Walk the earth

So, I’m now unemployed. I’m a bum. Like Caine from “Kung Fu”, I’m going to walk the earth, get into adventures. Five points to anyone who can name the movie that’s from…
Right now I should be busy sorting stuff out, packing my bag, calling loads of people to change my address and generally upset people. [...]

Last day!

So today is my last day at IG. It feels weird to even write it like that, imagine how weird it feels to actually be able to walk out later today and not have to come back again! I’ve been here just shy of five years now so I guess it’s a normal feeling… but [...]

A case of the Mon-daze

I think I have some mild sleeping disorder, or perhaps I just need to learn some meditaion or something, but either way I just can’t sleep on Sunday nights. I always just roll around, twist and turn with my head full of thoughts of the week, month, life ahead of me. I’ve tried to counter [...]

Random encounters

My very good friend Ben has a fantastic roof-terrace on the sixteenth floor in Bethnal Green, it’s got a great view and it’s perfect for summer parties. Many of my photos in Flickr are from his terrace… Well, most weekends this year has been completely useless for any outdoor activites, at least ones you need [...]

Tick-tock…

I’m in a weird mood today, I guess it’s a mix of hangover and time starting to creep up on me… It’s now just under five weeks left until I leave work, then I swing over to Sweden for a few weeks and then I’m off. My flight is tomorrow in two months. Hmmm, have [...]
