@@peanut1001x yup, some dive spots are definitely better than others. And most dive spots are better than any day in an office cubicle 😉

Thanks...Happy New Year to you too!

@@HugoTVBR Congratulations...You're really going to enjoy it 😊

@@camino9152 thanks! Glad you liked the videos. I started hiking it in January 2022 also and the weather was great. No guide needed except for in the indigenous area.

@@jillpengelley7652 no, I hadn't heard about the Australian. I seem to recall a Dutch hiker that went missing but I'm not sure if they found them.

@@Guillemeister it's a possibility. I'm still finalizing my post-cruise travel plans 🤔

@@ashrafelshazly3707 gracias ☺️

@@ervinslens thanks!

@@ZephyrPhotography 😂 I had to Google who that is. Nope, I'm not him...but I suppose I'll take it as a compliment 😉

@@Dawg_House_Productions maybe some day you guys can join for an adventure 🤔 😉

@@laurasarikka80 I booked it through my hotel...but at 2:54 of the video you'll see the name of the tour company written in the pineapple 🍍 on the food table 😜...It's Blue Bird Tours. This is their Instagram link: instagram.com/whalesharkpalawan?igsh=MTZueDkwbXNodThqbg==

@@dragajovic I did bring a sleepibg bag but I only used it once when the hotel I wanted to stay at was closed and I had to sleep on the porch. A jacket wasn't needed because it never got very cold (especially while hiking). In total I'd estimate there was about 40 kms of asphalt (most of it was at the end into Quepos).

@@ErmittlerTV thanks! It was an amazing journey ☺️

@@thorfunp.8115 thanks... Glad you enjoyed them.

@@kristinan78 if you thought that was amazing just wait until the next diving video 😁

@@tirthwork9288 yes, but they were definitely not very active...kind of like in super chill mode 😜

On TH-cam only? But Sharks need cuddles too 😂

You should be here... It's just a short (very long) flight from home 😅

@@RF-pf4sm thanks. I had never seen a thresher shark in real life previously...but had heard of them because they were mentioned in the script in the original 1975 movie Jaws.

@@austinstitzel good guess but I'm not. Do I exhibit Capricorn ♑ traits?

@@sunesnigel Thanks! I brought only a 10k mAh power bank. Since there was limited internet I stayed on Airplane mode 99% of the time & conserved battery when possible.

@@bisayanglaaganph4193 Thanks! I love it already 😁

@@medeinabirgilaite1122 About every other STF hut had a shop for resupplying. However, I actually started with a 22kg backpack that had most of the food I needed for the entire trail. For comfort I purchased about 2-3 days of food along the way (e.g. The ICA supermarket)...but I could have stretched my initial food supply to cover the entire trail if needed.

@@BrianWithoutBorders Thanks for the reply! And best of luck on your future travels!

The STF huts have plenty of food. You can fully rely on them for all your food unless you have dietary restrictions or want to save a bit of money.

@@bjorn_83 thanks!!

@@gislemark79 thanks for the clarification. Now I'm wondering why there was a Norwegian flag outside the ICA 🤔. One of the local Swedes described Kungsleden as 45 Swedish Miles in length, which equaled 450 kms. This was repeated by other Swedes along the trail.

@@BrianWithoutBorders I know notrhing about the flag. But ICA does not exist in Norway. In Sweden we call 10km a MIL but it's not a MILE.

@@gislemark79 it's called a Scandinavian mile in english.

​@@BrianWithoutBorders i think you're correct about the mile despite it's spelled differently.

Swedish mil is 10k ​@@BrianWithoutBorders

They totally were. The further from the cities you get the more inviting they were.

Effectively yes...but I'm not the kind of person to just sit around doing nothing in retirement. That's existing, not living 😉

You guys have a pretty adventurous life too. You two look so happy following your dreams 😊

Hello!!! Good to hear from you. I hope you are still playing and enjoying the music 🎶

It sure was! 😁

The currents when I was there in January were manageable. If the currents were stronger then we simply did drift dives & still managed to see a lot of great sights.

@@BrianWithoutBorders How many logged dives did you do before the liveaboard?

@@Taeshawol before the liveaboard I had 60+ dives.

@@BrianWithoutBorders thank you so much!

While all took cash, some even had a PayPal QR code to pay if you didn't have any cash (or small bills).

There was definitely less rain in Costa Rica. Both trails have great things about them in their own right. I definitely understood Español better than English with the Scottish accent 😜

🤣🤣🤣🐑🐑🐑 There was definitely no shortage of wool 😉

Oh Hey Robyn! 👋 It was a pleasure to meet you & yes I definitely remember you. Best of travels to you ☺️

We all do what we can 😊

It was normally a high of about 17°C & a nightly low around 8°C....not too extreme.

Hey Kailash! It's good to hear from you 😊

It never stops amazing 😁

You are correct. When I recorded this video I didn't speak French at all.

It was definitely tempting to keep them....but my pack would eventually be very heavy. (Although I have kept small cool rocks in the past 😉)

Definitely!!! I think it also helps that there are far more hikers here as well. Plus, wild camping makes it more feasible for hikers of different speeds as well.

I used to speak Turkish fairly well 20+ years ago. I'm very rusty now but I was able to understand enough and convey my message. The goat herder didn't speak any English.

Thanks...you are amazing & inspiring...glad your enjoyed it ☺️
