I was in Coron, Palawan!

Here goes another attempt of updating you guys that I am indeed, still alive and is still lurking hive, I just haven't had the mental capacity and the physical energy to do the typing and organizing because I have been all over the place again lately.

So for starters, it has been a week since I've returned from Coron, Palawan. And quite frankly, I still haven't gotten over how wonderful that trip was. So first of all, it was a trip provided by my company to train the mine site at the end of Palawan. That town is called Rio Tuba and it's like a 4 hour drive and a boat ride to get to said island from the Busuanga airport.

How to get calm again when you're totally stressed out. (Or two ways I lose my centre and three ways I find it again).

Human beings: We're funny creatures.

We're animals but we forget this important fact all the time due to this higher-level brain that allows us to remember and analyse the past, as well as plan and even worry about our imagined future.

I lose my centre, that is my connection to the present moment (when I would naturally be grounded in my body) whenever I get triggered by something that's happening in the present moment that reminds me of something vivid that happened on my past.

Discovering the Bohemian Highlands - Travel Day and Day 1

For some time it has become more and more difficult for me to think of where to go on a trip in the territory of the Czech Republic. So basically, in investing terminology, I'm filling in the gaps. So one big gap in my map is the Czech Highlands. That's why I went there on the last weekend in May this year.

I chose the town of Světlá nad Sázavou as my starting position, because there was a direct train from Prague and it was possible to get there on Friday afternoon after work. Upon arrival, I crossed the bridge over the Sázava River, bought food for the weekend at the local Penny market and headed to the local castle.

BEYLERBEYI PALACE | GREAT STORY AND HISTORICAL ARTS | TURKEY/ISTANBUL

Today we are at Beylerbeyi Palace, the history of this palace in Istanbul/Uskudar dates back to the 1800s and the interior is truly fascinating!
After visiting the palace and its garden, I sat facing the sea and wondered if I would have been happy if I had been a Sultan in the 1800s and lived here :))

This palace was initially constructed by Mahmud II as a summer residence in 1832. Unfortunately, during the stay of Sultan Abdülmecid in 1851, a fire broke out, earning it the name "sinister palace" and rendering it inactive for some time.
