Last weekend at my sis for some timer

What a weekend with sis and Sofie!
Beef, lamb, veggies, fries, pizza, champagne, Prosecco, Crémant and Cava and a few beers.
Two days with squash :) It is so much fun to play squash! I think I'll have to build a squash court at TRACC camp :) I wonder if the professor will agree.
And of course we watched Swe-Fra handboll Saturday, wasn't the best game from Sweden, but we have qualified for the final round. Next we take Poland (hopefully).
The weekend was so much fun, didn't want to think about the fact that this was the last weekend with her for quite some time. Every time I did I felt sad.
I'm gonna miss my best friend/sister so extremly much. The world isn't quite as fun without her by my side.

Only 4 working days left, feels really strange, it's mixed emotions but most of them are positive and excited.

I really need to try the wetsuit I bought from Watersports Warehouse UK, hopefully it fits. And I need to start putting my stuff together :)

9 days to go

In just 9 days I'm off to the biggest adventure in my life. This time I'm jumping without a parachute!

I'm starting off on Koh Tao for 2 months where I'll have a nice relaxing long vacation with a mix of fun diving, marine conservation and loads of new memories and fun times with some really really great people.

Really look forward staying at my home away from home, Namhasin House, again!
If you are going to Koh Tao I really recommend staying here, they are wonderful!

After my 2 months of relaxation I will embark on my new career.
I'm going back to TRACC but this time the camp is on the Northern Tip of Borneo, Coconut Cove. About 35 minutes by car from the town of Kudat.

I don't know how long I will be staying but it might very well be for some time.

I will also be going to Bali for a week june/july :)

But before leaving I will have a great weekend with my sister and finish watching the Handball WC. Go SWEDEN!!

Bring it on 2015!!

2014 soon over

Today is the last day of 2014 at work. Celebrating this with a new haircut which was done at By Barda and the magical Sofia, she's the best!

My 2014 looks as it has been pretty awesome when I watch this, and it was pretty cool. It was also a year with disappointments, learning, challenging myself and so much love and friendships (new and old).
I think that 2015 will be filled with even more awesomeness, hope to see the friends I miss so much, especially Felicity, the strongest, fiercest, coolest and bravest person I know!

Here's my 2014 on Koh Tao where I met old and new friends, learnt so much about myself and marine conservation!

One of the beautiful bays on Koh Tao

Here's a great article about the past, present and future of one of the bays on Koh Tao. I have snorkelled and dived there and it is a pretty amazing place.
This is the bay where I for the first time in my life had the fantastic privilege to see the majestic and wonderful creatures, the sharks.

New beginning, new adventures

February 1st it's time for take-off again.
This time I don't have much planned except going further with my diving and learning much more about our oceans.
I will start on Koh Tao and then I will go where ever I want to go.
I won't be going back to my old job, I'm working my last day January 31st! This time I am really quitting :)
My apartment is rented out until last January 2016, and I'm staying with my parents until I leave.
Before leaving I'm gonna spend as much time as possible with my family, especially my sister, and friends.
It's gonna be an adventure!

Been home for 5 weeks

I've now been home for 5,5 weeks and working for 4 weeks.
It feels like I've been home for over a year, can't believe how boring it is to do office work.
It's been wonderful to see family and friends, enjoy good food and drink and just being around people you love.
The problem is the Monday-Friday part, when I have to sit in the office doing my job. Of course I still do my job to the best of my ability but I feel stronger and stronger that this is not for me, at least not now.
I want to travel, dive, learn more about marine conservation etc. I want to be outdoors in the wonderful nature, I want to move around, try a different life style.

I have some thoughts, and depending on what the answers will be I might be off again not to far ahead.

I just hope I can find my place in this world, find my happiness and something to do that feels meaningful.

Of course I also want to return to New Heaven Dive School on Koh Tao, at least spend a few weeks/months there with the wonderful people there.
I also want to go back to TRACC Borneo, by the looks of it they have made such amazing progress in the hands of Professor Steve Oakley and his team.

I do realize that finding a paid job diving and doing marine conservation won't be easy for me since I don't have any higher education in this field. But I think I'm willing to take that chance.
Finding a job when coming back to Stockholm will be real hard but I don't think I should let that scare me out of doing what I believe is what I want.

Hmmm...
