  • When you have a waterfall and a natural pool all to yourself in the middle of a gorgeous forest!! 😍😍 *Pure Bliss* . . In case you are wondering, the water was super cold. But after hiking for hours through the jungle, jumping in to enjoy this lil piece of paradise was the most obvious thing to do! . . . . . #naturalpool #waterfall #meghalaya #whereisnortheast #outdoorlife #outdoorgirl #solotraveller #womenwhoexplore #sheroamssolo #sheisnotlost #adventure #northeastindia #chalonortheast #meghalayatourism #northeasttourism #northeastexplorer #waterbaby #travelgram #travelstories #discovernortheast #mypixeldiary #incredibleindia #indiaclicks #indiapictures #unexploredindia #hippieinhills #tripotocommunity #yourshot_india #lonelyplanetindia

Because you cannot stop the Wild and Free ones!! ✌️😎 . . . . . . . . #northeastindia #meghalaya #solotraveller #outdoorlife #whereisnortheast #waterfalls #travelgram #wanderlust #hippieinhills #indiaclicks #indiapictures #sheroamssolo #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #mypixeldiary #discovernortheast #chalonortheast #incredibleindia #yourshot_india #northeastexplorer #treklife #wildandfree #travelblogger #nerdyadventuress #sohra #northeasttourism #outdoorgirl
  • Adventure and Stupidity, there is a thin line between the two. 😔 . . Couldn't let 2018 go without sharing this one video which even now gives me the shivers, because of the excitement of swimming with a Whale Shark in the wild and also how close I was to being in an accident that could have gone bad. . . Few months back, I was in between dives, chilling on the boat, when we spotted a Whale Shark nearby. I was so excited about it that I grabbed my GoPro and mask and just jumped into the water to get a closer look. What happened next was, while I was gaping at the shark awestruck, the boat behind me swung towards me and hit my head from behind. 😩 . . For the next few seconds I had no idea what was happening. I went under the boat and got out on the other side. A bit disoriented and a bump on my head but exhilarated about the experience! . . So would I do this again? . . ABSOLUTELY!! I mean, who can say no to a Whale Shark but next time I would definitely be more careful about my surroundings. Because really there is a thin line between Adventure and Stupidity and it is best not to cross it. . . So guys, Happy New Year in advance and have a Safe and Adventurous 2019!!! 😘😘😘😘 . . PS*- Incase you don't know, Whale Sharks are the largest fish in the ocean. ❤️ . . . #whaleshark #goproin #bucketlist #srilanka #trincomalee #freediving #scubadive #scubapro #girlsthatscuba #scubagirlsindia #girlwhofreedive #neverstopexploring #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #oceanmagazine #paditv #underwaterphotography #oceanlover #outdoorgirl #outdoorlife #wanderlust #planetblue #igersofindia #goproindia #ladiesgoneglobal #nerdyadventuress #srilankatourism

  • Apart from Kelp Diving, the second best thing about Monterey was this place. The Monterey Bay Aquarium. . . I spent about 5 hours alone staring at everything in all the exhibits and watching all the documentaries possible. But my favorite place here was the Jelly exhibit. As much I don't like them near me in the ocean, these guys are captivating beautiful! And watching them pulsing through their own rhythm..soooooo peaceful! ❤️ . . Video of them in my insta story. 😍 . . . . . #montereybayaquarium #monterey #california #jellyfish #oceanlife #oceanstories #lpi #marinelife #traveldiaries #travelstories #igersofindia #tripotocommunity #deepblue #aliensoftheocean #pacificocean #earthpix #jelly #planetblue #ocean

  • Honestly, I was petrified about diving in the kelp forest. Not because it was cold. I mean, most of my dives have been in the warm tropical water so yeah 10 degrees was beyond frigid for me. 🙄 . But petrifying because I had heard stories of divers getting entangled in the kelp and ending up dying. At many places we were literally squeezing through the kelp stalks and I can see how one can easily get snagged here. The visibility isn't that great and I remember at one place, a kelp stalk got stuck around my arm and while I got busy removing it, Sarah had moved a bit ahead until I couldn't see her and I couldn't move!!! . OK. I died for those few seconds right there! 😶 Especially because there was no one else in that dive site except for two of us and somehow diving through kelp gets you disoriented and I had no idea where I was. . . Of course she came back looking for me and worst case I could have just ascended but for those few seconds, I was petrified! . . To the 87% of the people who voted 'Yes' to diving the kelp in my recent insta story poll, well....Kelp Diving is definitely Magical but ummm a bit Scary too! So don't say I didn't warn you. 😬😬😬😬 . . . . . #kelpdiving #california #monterey #pointlobos #scubadivergirls #drysuitdiving #scubapro #girlsthatscuba #outdoorgirl #womenwhoexplore #travelstories #divestories #padi #diving #underwaterphotography #underwaterforest #sheroamssolo #ladiesgoneglobal #nerdyadventuress #adventureblogger #instatravel #goproshot #travelstoke #oceanlover

  • ~ Alien Creatures of the Ocean ~ . . Have you ever seen a Slug this BIG? 😨 Neither had I! This is a Sea Hare, and is one of the biggest slugs in the ocean. It was sweetly camouflaged on the ocean bed when Sarah saw it and scooped it up. I don't think the slug liked that much because it squirted a sort of purple ink, which it generally does when it feels threatened. Btw, when in the ocean, I never touch anything and I don't think anyone should too, unless you are a marine biologist like Sarah, who has been diving and studying these creatures for years, maybe then you could. 🙄 . . . . . #scubadivergirls #scubalife #padi #scubapro #girlsthatscuba #breakwaterscuba #monterey #kelpforest #marineanimals #underwaterphotography #oceanlife #worldunderwater #california #pacificocean #instatravel #gopro #outdoorgirl #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #traveldiaries #nerdyadventuress #adventureblogger #igersofindia #slugs #seahare #marienelife
