I have decided to post photos of past travels in general and our eight year sailing adventure on SV Irie in particular for Wordless Wednesdays. I hope you enjoy them. Also, I can’t do completely “wordless”, but I try my best with “almost wordless”. 🙂
My theme “Cherry on Top” for this week comes from The Daily Post. While I am totally passionate about traveling and enjoy many aspects of it, my highlights remain wildlife encounters. Therefore, “meeting” and interacting with animals is the cherry on top of my explorations, in the world or in the back yard!
The biggest cherry: swimming with wild manta rays next to our boat in the Marquesas, FP
Snorkeling with a spotted eagle ray nearby our boat
Really close (and startling) encounter with a nurse shark in the San Blas, Panama
Sloth in Panama
Visiting sea lion in the Galapagos
Monkey in Costa Rica
Black tip reef shark in Fakarava, Tuamotus, FP
Howler monkey in Costa Rica (or was it Panama?)
Dolphins in the anchorage love to play with the dinghy
Free dolphin show in an anchorage in Tahuata, Marquesas, FP
For more “Cherry on Top” shots of nature, check out this gallery post, which was part of my A-Z Blogging challenge this year.
Who or what is your cherry on top, in the day-to-day life or on vacation?

Welcome Liesbet Collaert #wouldyourather
Today I’m excited to welcome friend, writer, blogger, photographer and world traveler, Liesbet Collaert. Many of you already enjoy reading about Liesbet’s nomadic lifestyle on her blog. If not, I encourage you to do so. Each visit is like taking a trip to a magical destination. She and her husband Mark are living a lifestyle that most could only dream of experiencing. Thanks so much for playing along, Liesbet!
Thank you, Jill, for featuring me on your lovely blog this week and for letting me play along in your entertaining Would You Rather series. I had a lot of fun participating!
Would you rather be able to freeze time or travel in time?
Travel in time. That way, I can keep going back to the moments I’d like to freeze and experience them over and over again. 😊 The main reason I’d like to travel in time (sometimes in the future to have a quick glance at the outcome of a decision in case it’s disastrous and I’d have to go back and change it, but most often to the past) is to investigate something that has always intrigued me. Choices.
I’m a firm believer that life is about choices and not about luck or following social norms. Yet, I wish I had the ability to experience different paths in this precious lifetime. My future, in general, can be left alone; each new day is exciting and promising. But when it comes to my past, I often wonder what would have happened if I picked the other direction at a split in the road. To be able to experience alternate paths would be most novel and satisfying to the curious mind!
Would you rather be the funniest person in the room or the most intelligent?
