As\u00a0my\u00a0time in Ko Lanta draws to close (for now at least), I realised I’ve been holding back a bit from you guys. I’ve talked a little bit before about how difficult it can be to really open up and put myself out there<\/a> publicly through a blog. This is a continual work in progress for me, not just on this site but on social media too. I’m generally always\u00a0lurking around in the background but have never been one to post every step of my daily life\u00a0online. I’m more a once-a-month than a once-a-day kinda gal. This is definitely on my “needs improvement” list, but right now it means that I haven’t shown you nearly enough of just how idyllic life on this island is.<\/p>\n

So, to remedy, this is more of a photo collection\u00a0than a deep-thinker kinda post. First of all, to give you a break from my idle musings! But mainly just\u00a0to show you some of my favourites out of the hundreds of\u00a0photos I’ve taken here, and maybe entice you to visit this little slice of paradise\u00a0someday!<\/p>\n

I chose Ko Lanta as a starting point for my travels, mainly\u00a0after randomly coming across this post<\/a>\u00a0by KoHub<\/a>, the co-working space here. It looked beautiful, and after reading a little more, sounded like just the right balance I was looking for – peace and quiet, with\u00a0option to party. I’ve talked about the social\u00a0lifestyle<\/a> I’ve led here, and of course it’s super fun to meet awesome people,\u00a0eat in amazing restaurants, enjoy a few drinks with your feet in the sand, or\u00a0dance under the stars.\u00a0But\u00a0I’ve also described\u00a0how much more fulfilling my solitary moments<\/a> have been, and this island is the perfect place to indulge in solitude, or just some chill-out time\u00a0with your peeps. The beaches are stunning and never so busy that you can’t find a quiet spot to park yourself. The\u00a0main road circling the island is well paved (bar the occasional potholes), so it’s easy to hop on your scooter and take off on a road trip to seek\u00a0out the kind of natural beauty\u00a0Thailand is famous for.<\/p>\n

Life here is simply a dream, as you can see for yourself…<\/p>\n
