Hi all, I hope that you are still able to do this thing that so many of us love the most- and that is travel.
So on a month long adventure through a relatively small area of Thailand, I came across this gorgeous place called Koh Yao Noi https://onestep4ward.com/koh-yao-noi-thailand/ and knowing that any travel is impossible at the moment, especially international travel, I though you might like to join me on a virtual boating and cycling adventure to the gorgeous and (mostly) unspoiled island of Koh Yao Noi by catching a longboat across this outstanding area of the Strait of Malacca and cycling around the great island.
This is the dock at Ao Nang and Krabi is kind of just around the corner...sort of...
So back in 2014, after spending 2 weeks volunteering at the Wildlife Friends Foundation of Thailand up in the mountains of the Petchaburi Province, https://www.wfft.org/ we eventually made our way across to the Island via Krabi to catch a longboat from Ao Nang.
This is the dock at Ao Nang
So many people who have never traveled don't see the value in it- all they can see is spent income and nothing- no houses/cars/white goods or anything solid to show for it- except non-tangible memories- and what good is a memory they say. What can you do with that they scoff.
My favourite part of the ride- flat...🤣
Our guide pointing out something really important...maybe the local hospital for me..?
They get so caught up in that tradition- which is not so archaic, of working to buy that perfect home, with the perfect things in it, the best car parked in the manicured drive way, surrounded by the white picket fences, that they forget what life is all about, because there far too busy now being tethered to the mortgage, bank loans and other debts that they accumulate to buy these things, that it becomes a vicious cycle for so many of them.
Thinking of moving to KYN so checking out the local real estate 🤣
They carry on and poo poo those of that have traveled and do want to continue to travel, saying that it's not the done thing- that travel is only a recent invention, whereas humans have actually been crissrossing the globe on all manner of transportation for eons- whereas attaining those white picket fences is actually the new and modern way of life.
I needed to fuel up.... 🤣😂😅
And a way of life that I don't understand because life is all about learning, experiencing, growing and having fun and adventures and you can't do that stagnating and essentially imprisoned by 4 walls and what that lifestyle entails.
So although I have done a bit of traveling, unfortunately I haven't been able to do far enough- for many reasons- life/time/money, but those time I have traveled will stay in my memory forever and this is one of those trips that I will never forget and one that I would like to repeat one day, but with a few other variables added into the mix for next time.
And people like us, people here on Hive- we're all travelers- whether that just be on our computers (only until the virus calms itself down...), or whether that be in real life.
Either way, we're the type of people not to let those white pickets fences trap us in- not forever anyway..if we were, we wouldn't be here having this amazing adventure through the Hive every day.
I hope that you enjoy this little video that I just made and the music to go with it. (thanks Garageband...it's been a long, LONG time...)
I really hope that you enjoyed this little spontaneous tour as much as I did. Unfortunately if I were to upload the rest of the photos and video, you'd be here for hours- which is why I am going to edit the months worth of gopro footage and thousands of photos over the next few months- unless you want to help me...😄

Hi @chocolatescorpi,
Great to see you posting to the TravelFeed community! We launched the #travelfeed curated tag more than 3 years ago and have been supporting the best travel blogs on Hive ever since. But did you know that TravelFeed has evolved? Based on the feedback of thousands of Hive travel bloggers we created TravelFeed.io.
TravelFeed.io brings together all the benefits of Hive decentralized blogging with features that you as a travel blogger will love: Photo galleries, Instagram embeds, custom maps, post scheduling and more. And if you want, you can even use our easy site builder to set up your own travel blog on your own domain which can be a great way to generate a passive income from your blog!
Unfortunately, focussing on developing the best platform for travelers means that we no longer curate the #travelfeed tag and the TravelFeed Hive community. But, you can log in with your Hive account on TravelFeed.io to publish your next travel post, and it will be posted to Hive automatically! Every day, we select the best posts and reward them with an upvote and added visibility.
We would love to see you on TravelFeed.io soon :)
Haaa yes, I discovered the Travelfeed app last night just after this...
Sooo then if you don't curate the travelfeed community in peakd, does that mean that you guys are now a separate entity?
Cause I'm just getting far too overwhelmed and frustrated with the amount of same same/similar communities in Peakd... and no-one's getting anywhere cause everyone's has to spread themselves out too thin so now if I want to include my stuff in the travelfeed community, I have to sign up for another account...?
The TravelFeed app is another frontend to the Hive blockchain that is optimised for travel posts. No need to create a new account, you can simply log in with your existing Hive account and all the posts you make on TravelFeed will appear on other Hive frontends such as Peakd as well :)
You are welcome to post in the TF community on Hive, but we are usually only curating posts made through TravelFeed.io since only those appear in our curator's feed. Since this post is awesome I upvoted it anyway :)
Ok cool thanks, Will do
And OK Fanatstic thanks so much! Really appreciate it. (hope you liked the music- made it myself too...lol...)
