Day 19 of the challenge ☀️

How is everyone today? I hope all my friends joining me on this challenge are doing well, whatever day you are on and for however long 🥰. Well done

I wanted to mention today that I’m noticing my skin has improved and my hair is more shiny. Two things I always notice living within a sober period. There really is such a thing called sober hair and it amazes me everytime 👩‍🦰
If I was to down a bottle of wine tonight then I know that in the morning not only would I notice that I was dehydrated but I would also notice how dry and tight my skin would feel, the horrible taste in my mouth and general yuck feeling in my body. I think it’s because I’ve had so many yo-yo times of drinking and sobriety that I can be more specific and not just refer to it as a hangover
I just love the way I feel sober.

It’s raining but I’m taking this salad and a flask of tea out to explore Hill Mead beach or Lee on the Solent.

Please share anything you’re up to this weekend. Pictures too 🙏🌻

AS I WANDER I MEET SO MANY ♥️One of the most loveliest things about solo travel is the people you meet along the way. I always see potential photo moments and often want to ask people if I can take a picture. I had to ask this lady and her daughter as they simply looked so beautiful sat together looking out towards the ocean
We ended up having a lovely chat and she told me how Sundays were special as it was her day off and she could spend lots of time with her daughter. This lady works at Hua Hin hospital looking after foreigners. I said, oh people like me then ? And we laughed. She told me I could pick the doctor I wanted if I was ill. We chatted about various things and discovered some similarities concerning our lives.
Thank you for your company Supannee 🙏❤️. I know how much you love the pictures😃 Me too 👪

This was such a beautiful place to visit and having this lovely young man as a guide. He welcomed me from the start and explained how they made everything from scratch from, herbs to cosmetics to candles and Jam. So interesting to see and spend time chatting to these beautiful people. I was given a free tea when I finished the tour then bought some things from the gift shop that was not expensive. The body lotion is gorgeous and honey is delicious.
The lovely guy kept apologising that his English was not good ! It was amazing. He would like to go on one day and become a tour guide for Angkor Wat. Somehow I think I can see him there very soon ♥️

I remember swimming in the sea when the sun had just set and the sky was getting darker. It was the most beautiful feeling to look back at the golden sand and feel part of something so powerful and special. Nothing else entered into my mind except feeling that power of nature and being such a big part of it ❤️ PLEASE SHARE YOURS ……

WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE CLOUDS?
I remember gazing into the sky so often and watching how my pictures transformed into different worlds. Especially while travelling in the car during sunset and on blustery day when the clouds would move more quickly.
Nature really can bring out our creativity while allowing us to distract from life sometimes too. Just for a few moments ♥️
I’m grateful that I was distracted through nature rather than technology. I’ve been thinking more recently about how resilient I was as a child considering some life events back then. I do feel more and more for children now with phones and social media
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if children could all get together and have cloud gazing afternoons and share what they see instead of hanging out with their phones 🙏☁️☁️

I honestly love these flip flops. First pair I bought in Krabi, second in Hua Hin. They just make me smile wherever I go 🌼 Beautiful beach just across the road from my condo in Cha Am 🐟☀️

FEELING SETTLED ❤️
So I’ve just arrived in Cha Am and found the most beautiful condo just on the beach for an amazing price. Travelling solo around Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia is very exciting but it can be totally exhausting and at times very lonely and extremely challenging. It’s not as glamorous as the photos I post of beaches and sunsets as it seems . There are many highs but many lows too so adjusting to this life can be tough at times.
I’ve had a really lovely day here today and met some wonderful people both locally on the beach and tourists from this complex. I’m so happy to feel settled here for the next five weeks so I can take the pace a little slower and start afresh 🙏🦋

My homemade candles from Koh Chang ♥️
While staying here I asked at reception if they had a lamp but the lovely guy said I have candles.. He handed me these candles. I said, Do you have any candle holders? He handed me some coasters. I said , I have no matches ! He handed me a lighter from his pocket. It was the one he carried around with him in a leather pouch. It took me a long time that night to trust myself to keep these candles strong once I’d burnt enough wax to drip down but I did it with patience and they stood strong
I just wanted to share this story with you all because I think it’s a lesson that often it takes time, patience and asking for help to guide ourselves from a dark place into the light 🕯️As I look back through my travelling photos I realise just how many stories I have to share and I think now is the time I will start reflecting back and sharing them. I also feel that space is needed to reflect on happenings to discover their meanings of how they seemed at the time and what they can teach us a little further down the road ❤️

It’s nearly time for me to leave Siem Reap. It’s been such a magical stay. What I’ve enjoyed most is talking to the local people and hearing their stories. I’ve spoken to many of the shop owners here and I especially love this shop. I cannot remember this man’s name but I’ve linked his shop name in. He has owned this shop since 2011 and as you can see is a very talented artist. His hand painted T-shirts and bags especially are beautiful. They can all be washed so they are very practical. The jewellery is stunning too. He was explaining how times were hard during covid but now things are picking up again and there is hope 🙏. As I travel lots now I cannot buy something from everywhere I visit but I can give people a mention so if you visit Siem Reap please take a look in this shop. It’s really beautiful ♥️
