Cod Fishing in Newfoundland: Pollards Point

Cod Fishing in Newfoundland: Pollards Point

We were catching the fish and we were jigging them as well, meaning that sometimes we would catch the fish with hooks in their mouth when they went for the lures, but also we would just catch them in the side or the fin when we would jig and that would bring them up as well. The ocean is extremely bountiful!

Swimming with Whale Sharks in the Philippines.

Swimming with Whale Sharks in the Philippines

Swimming with Whale Sharks in the Philippines. Oslob, Cebu, Philippines.  14 July 2017. I was up at 05:00 on a terrible sleep…  But it was worth it… …the wee hours of the morning would be spent swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines!

Taganga to Tayrona National Park: A-holes

Taganga to Tayrona National Park: A-holes

Taganga to Tayrona National Park: A-holes. August 3.   I am turning into a mean person because of the pure alcoholism that has taken over my life since Marc arrived.  I told off a German girl who kept on slamming the dorm-room door while we were sleeping.  Then I challenged the massive Scottish guy who ran our hostel because I wanted a better price from him for the dorm for him not having internet for us for the two days...
