5 photos that have inspired me the most, and why.
Today’s Travel Tip is by someone who needs no introduction! My friend and amazing blogger, Keith writes on 5 Places that have Inspired him and challenged him on to bigger things.
Sunsets always inspire me. This particular sunset in Bali will stay etched in my mind forever for its sheer brilliance and intensity. The word “breathtaking” was probably invented for scenes like these!
The ancient temple city of Angkor Wat in Cambodia is an inspirational display of man’s ingenuity and craftsmanship.
I’ll never forget my very first shark encounters at Lang Tengah island. It taught me a valuable lesson about fear and how to overcome it. Simply drop your inhibitions and forge ahead! Whenever I feel pangs of fear, I think of my experiences on Lang Tengah.
This stunning stretch of sand will inspire anyone. I sat on this beach for hours, reflecting on my past and what I needed to do to move on. The dazzling colours of the water, the pure white sand and the gentle lapping of the waves at my feet gave me various epiphanies, the most important being the importance of harnessing my passions to propel me forward.
as I looked over the edge, I saw the gorgeous rainbow at the foot of the falls.
Beautiful shots, he’s really a serial traveller huh? Okay, will check out his site soon.
I have twice, quit my job and attempted to do what Keith has done – but i never lasted and ended up on the grinding stone again and again, each time harder than the last.
Looking at the pictures, especially the stretch of sand and pristine water, i now wish there could be a ‘thrice” and it has to work this time.
Standing at the edge of the Iguazu Falls – wah this looks dangerous! But I’m sure the picture paints a thousand words.
Sigh, Angkor wat was fun Keithy. And that Sunset shot with the G11 in Bali is stunning. That was Echo Beach with Jarlath & Adrian & Allan right?
Need to go travelling again. Must make lots of money.
Am so proud of you. That you gave up a lucrative career to concentrate on a passion.
Have a wonderful flight home.
Oh MY God! I need to quit my job and find myself too. I wanna be inspired by the many wonders of the world too. The only droplets of water I feel on my face is the Evian sprayed on my face in the office to keep me awake halfway through the day!
Fantastic. Travel is so much more than discovering new places, it’s about rediscovering yourself. Love Lang Tengeh Island note. Brave the shark!
yea, keith really is inspiring! check out his blog on velvetescape blog for more details!
I love that beach too! looks unreal!
LOL, you know what they say – 3 is a charm!

Woohoo! Thanks for all your comments. Brilliant stuff.
Nigel: believe it or not, that picture was NOT taken with my G11 but on the trip with Allan, my Mum/Judith, with my Canon Ixus. 🙂 Canons take the best sunset shots!
Thanks once again Mei for inviting me to guest post!
