Koh Rong Samloem: Short-lived paradise

No wi-fi. No air-conditioning. Few bathrooms had flushing toilets. But one look at the turquoise water and I thought, if this is roughing it, then so be it.

lately i find myself itching to go on another solo trip, like when i wandered the streets of Porto this time last year. #tbt i love the autonomy of solo travel and how it can lead to the most unexpected discoveries and encounters. little things, like stumbling upon a cute coffee shop in Taipei ☆ big, like meeting my bf at a street party in San Sebastián ☆ or even bigger, like being inspired to move abroad. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ➼ so excited to spend my next trip with family, but here’s to more solo adventures in the next decade ➼
it doesn’t Gent much better than this ✨
as an expat, you get used to friends coming and going, loved ones being spread around the globe, distance, etc. etc., but goodbyes never get easier. madrid is going to be a little less bright without my partner in crime, mi media naranja, the girl who makes me feel so supported and loved that the least i can do is let her have our good side in photos. i hope everyone is lucky enough to find the Fara to their Alex. sé que no es adiós, es hasta luego 🌺
wishing i was this warm & tan rn
maybe copious amounts of vino, jamón y queso will convince them to stay in spain 😭🤞🏼
