It’s with a heavy heart that I receive the news of the passing of this great man... it seems like we always lose the great ones too soon. RIP Randy Weston - you’ve left a hell of a legacy. Thank you for your music, your vibrant energy and the love that you put into everything that you did. The world thanks you for your presence and now you’ll live on in the stars forever #restinpeace #randyweston

A good aunt helps her niece put her little head into a big head 🐵 So much fun hanging out with these little munchkins and my lovely sister @fordymarrony once a year. Wish it we could hang out more often! #famtime #iamgrateful

Thank you @sixsensesyaonoi for the beautiful stay and for taking such great care of me. I am so grateful to the good universe out there who allows me to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world and eat unlimited ice cream under the guise of calling it “part of my job”. It’s intense exploring with loads of early mornings (no sleeping in!) but believe me it’s worth every minute. Thank you to all that made this possible, the wonderful people at @hiddendoorways as well as the OG mama hen @marisagoesglobal (who got me into travel agenting in the first place) and all the folks at the mothership @protravelinternational - I can’t wait to get more of our clients to visit to this beautiful place. .

Meet Ma Ya and Pa Bao, the lovely owners of this organic coconut grove on Koh Yao Noi. Pa Bao used to be a fisherman but as he got older, he no longer was able to make enough money from fishing. He and his wife started this coconut grove where now hundreds of tourists visit to learn about their organic farming practices. They use homemade organic fertilizer that includes shrimp heads and dead fish. This is what they claim makes their coconuts taste better. I learned a lot about coconuts from them. They showed me different species: Nam Wan (sweet water) and Nam Hom (fragrant water), sweet being sweeter to drink. They also showed me another species, Tamadah (ordinary) which is not for drinking but only used to make coconut milk. They even let me pick my own coconut from the tree. It’s not as easy as it looks! .
