We will board the liveaboard in Saumlaki, one of the easternmost islands in Indonesia. We'll then sail north through the Banda Sea through a chain of islands and atolls known as the Forgotten Islands. One of the attractions of the Banda Sea, besides us most likely being the only boat in the area, are the reefs. They are absolutely mind-blowing. The coral is so dense that you will be hard-pressed to see any patches of the reef's limestone foundation. Many of the reefs consist of expansive fringing hard coral plateaus that extend from the island or atoll and then eventually drop off into the deep blue. These walls or slopes are covered in sponges, colorful soft corals, and sea fans. Additionally, there will be plenty of reef dwellers like dazzling schools of tropical fish, larger pelagic species like tunas, jacks, and batfish passing in the blue, and juvenile reef sharks patrolling the shallows. It's also the time of the year when the blue whales start their migration south to Australia. Thus, it may be possible to spot one or several from the boat.

Bangkok is loud. Heat. Neon. Movement. Most people stop where it’s comfortable. But the real taste of a city rarely competes for attention. It hides. In places without signs. Without ratings. Without English menus. We walked until the noise softened. Because if food is how you understand a city, you don’t find it. You earn it. Next stop: Chiang Mai. Woman walking alone through a dark Bangkok alley at night, exploring authentic Thai street food culture in non-touristy neighborhoods, traditional family-run kitchens and local Southeast Asia food scene.
