Invictus - William Ernest Henley (by Alan Bates)

Leap of Faith

This was the last cliff that required a running jump. The only one who had the guts to pull this off was the fearless warrior Lina! Hats off girl, you rock :)

Canyoneering Yogis ~ Jan 2016

This is what happens when an eclectic group of zen loving Yogis hit the island of Badian and 

are coerced into canyoneering within 48 hours of arriving in the Philippines having traveled over 36 consecutive hours. 

We felt the fear and did it anyway. 

During the euphoric dives into crystal clear, brain numbingly cold turquoise waters we climbed, questioned, supported, screamed, danced, sang, walked, clambered, slipped, laughed, fell, cried and laughed our way over breathtaking terrain in a 7 hour quest that proved we could tackle any physical and mental challenge as long as we had each others backs. 

And if this adventure proves anything it is that we were, cliches be damned, all for one and one for all. Hell yeah!

Clearly I have waaay too much time on my hands but yes it is ultra delicious, totally time consuming, somewhat dangerous, definitely cheaper from a can buuuuut this is the nearest I can get to #island living in amman and I am holding on for dear life 👻 #coconut #love #healthyrecipes #recipes

The Four Storey Jump

And so it was time to woman up. Would we do the infamous 10m jump or not. Well, I filmed this part so looks like I did although I have no memory of it! Deciding to jump is the hard part, scratch that, making your body leap when all you see beneath you are a bunch of scraggy rocks whilst the guide keeps showering droplets of water where you are meant to land whilst your brain is screeching at the insanity of it all, yes, that is the hard part. But then you jump. And you are free. And when you dive into that cold refreshing blue crystal; water, well, there are no words to describe the incredible thrill. Adrenalin rush? Yes. Madness? Definitely. Would I do it again? Maybe. Make that a strong maybe!
