A Perspective of Paradise 🛶⛺🏝️ Paddlin

A Perspective of Paradise

🛶⛺🏝️

Paddling past luxury mega yachts and fancy hotels, I offer a smile and a wave as I meander my way by.

Making gradual progress, yet never hurried, as if time will simply wait for me.

Catching eyes with the perfectly tanned and manicured, whilst they sit on the waterside loungers, strawberry daiquiri in hand, gold framed glasses perched on their noses and a silver and sparkling watch band glinting back at me.

We exchanged this brief yet pleasant encounter. My pace slowing long enough for someone to ask where I'm going, or how long it's been.

“Two days so far, three more to go!”

I kayak my way to the next island, eventually coming ashore and going through the motions of setting up camp, cooking dinner, washing the dishes and repacking the boat.

Finally, as the sun goes down, I take a moment to reflect on the day.

As I sit there with salt stains ringing my clothes like a tie-dye pattern, unwashed and dotted with sand, I'm left with a sinking feeling.

A sympathetic thought drifts through my mind as I remember my earlier encounter.

Those people back there, they're so poor, all they have is money.

We're going going, back back to KILI KILI 🏔️

We're going going, back back to KILI KILI

🏔️🥾🐘

Fantastic news everybody - the minimum number for the Tanzania Expedition has been hit. That means WE ARE GOING TO KILIMANJARO.

And even better news, there's still plenty of spaces available for you to join us!

Would you love to do a trip like this, but don't think you're ready? You will be! Here's what we do to ensure you have the best opportunity of reaching the summit:

- arrival rest day. Settle in, sleep off the jet lag and enjoy the pool

- second day, we head to a natural hot spring to swim, explore and get to know one another

- extra day on the mountain. You COULD climb Kili in 5 days. The route we take, most people do in 6. We do it in 7. Why? The longer you spend on the mountain, the better you acclimate to the altitude. And that's the #1 reason people don't make the summit

- we work with only the best. Our local team are lifelong Kili guides, with 100s of summits logged. We are in the safest hands, who know how and when to dig deep and push on

- the trip is in October, that leaves 5 whole months to train and prepare

- 24/7 support. Once you've got your deposit in, you can contact me ANY TIME with any questions. You'll have my WhatsApp number and can fire away whenever something comes to mind

- lastly, we know it's a huge accomplishment. So to top it all off, we head out on a 3 day wildlife safari and stay at a luxury lodge. We even drop in on a Maasai village to learn about their unique culture

Sounds like you're kind of trip? Shoot my a DM and let's do this!

The last episode of @ffs_expedition of the Inside

The last episode of @ffs_expedition of the Inside Passage is out today!

A 4-year journey, that I have been editing since December...

In the final days of the expedition we decided to interview one another.

'How do you feel, now the trip is coming to an end?'

This was my answer:

“There’s conflicting feelings with the trip coming to an end.

On one hand, we must get to the end and finish in order to complete our mission.

To bask in eternal satisfaction forever more, having done the thing we said we were going to do. That glorious feeling of accomplishment, in turning a 4-year dream into a well-documented reality.

At the same time, part of me doesn't want it to end. The part that always wants to know: what’s around the next corner? What’s beyond the hill? There must be one more whale that needs watching.

That part lives within every adventurer. An insatiable desire to explore. To carry on and continue. It’s what drives us through the lows and helps us reach the highs. This curiosity must be nurtured and cultivated. Harnessed not to dwell on what was, but on what is next.

For now, I’ll take it one paddle stroke at a time. I’ll hear every bird, I’ll see every whale, and I’ll hold onto this experience for the rest of my life”

Episode 09 is out on YouTube today!

I'm here to let you know there's another way!

🌮🍉🥗

Multiday expeditions don't have to be tinned beans, sand in your meals, unhealthy, repetitive junk.

In fact, it's possible to eat mouth wateringly delicious meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, even on a 6-day kayak trip!

How do we do this, you ask?

By working with expert local guides who can cook up a storm of delicious food right here on the beach!

You don't have to worry about the details, we do all that for you.

So take a break on the beach, try your hand at fishing and if you catch something, we'll add it to the evening meal!

- healthy, local cusine
- large portions to fuel our journey
- all dietary requirements catered for

Pictured: restaurant quality plates prepared from our expert Baja guide Ramon.

Equal standards of food can be found on EVERY GLOBAL SHENANIGANS TRIP. No matter mountain or sea, we eat well.

Right place, right time, time and time again... T

Right place, right time, time and time again...

The only guarantee when it comes to wildlife, is that your chances are set to ZERO if you don't yourself put yourself out there.

Wake up for sunrise. Go on that hike. Take risks. Book a trip. Do the thing, even when the odds are low. If there's still a chance, take it!

Put yourself in a position to be lucky.

Only once you make the effort, then luck will find you.

🤿🐬

The whole team found luck on the 6-day Baja Sea Kayak Expedition, as these playful bottlenose dolphins went acrobatic!

They hung around the bay we were camping on for hours, each dolphin trying to out jump the last. Completely unbothered by our presence alongside them in the water.

They darted all around us, squeaking and vocalising, splashing, flipping and spinning.

Our luck was maxed out.

Send me a message if you want to put yourself in a position to be lucky on a trip like this or others like it!

unBelizeable! 🌴

Belize truly is a paradise. Crystal clear water, hot and sunny, chilled vibes and an abundance of wildlife.

The perfect place for a kayak expedition, don't ya think?!

The details of the Belize '24 trip are almost finalised and ready to go out to the Expedition Email List.

DM me if you want to hear about it!
