Movies and headlines love to cast sharks as villains. But underwater, they move with calm precision and quiet authority. On average, fewer than 10 people per year die from shark encounters worldwide. Humans, meanwhile, kill an estimated 80–100 million sharks annually. After diving with great white sharks, I was reminded how misunderstood they are. They aren’t monsters. They’re apex predators, essential, intelligent, and deeply misrepresented. Grateful for this experience in New Zealand with @sharkexperiencebluff Share this with your dive buddies 🤿

What do you even do all day when you travel alone? ”Oh you know… wake up, drive somewhere pretty, hike until my legs question my life choices, eat snacks with a view, talk to zero people, and somehow call this ‘rest’.

It takes a lot of courage to leave the comfort of your life behind and start over somewhere new. Not knowing anyone. Not even speaking the language. Only people who’ve done it really get it, it changes you in ways you don’t expect 🤍 I’d do it again. Nothing really scares me anymore. #NewCountryWhoDis #StartingOver #LifeAbroad #Courage #SoloJourney #Growth

I never swim without my @surfears 🌊 Spending so much time in the ocean has taught me how easy it is to damage your ears, and how much it sucks when you can’t get back in the water. These keep my ears protected and let me hear the waves, my dive buddies, and the sea itself. They’re a small thing that makes a big difference 💙 #SurfEars #OceanLife

I went cage diving with great white sharks on the first day of my period… …and it wasn’t dangerous. The idea that sharks are attracted to menstruation is a myth, and it’s one that’s kept too many women afraid of the ocean. Understanding the ocean changes how we move through it, with respect rather than fear. Grateful to experience this in beautiful New Zealand with @sharkexperiencebluff Would you still do it? #SharkMyths #DiveLikeAGirl #WomenInTheOcean #GreatWhiteShark #SharkDiving #OceanEducation #FearVsFacts #PeriodTalk

Recently, I was diagnosed with a PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale), a small opening between the upper chambers of the heart that can increase the risk of decompression sickness in some divers. After two previous DCS incidents, I decided to investigate further. That journey included a bubble study and, most recently, a transoesophageal echocardiogram to better understand what was going on. I’m still learning what this diagnosis means for me and my future diving, but I wanted to share this because many divers have never heard of a PFO until it becomes relevant to them. I also want to acknowledge how fortunate I am. Navigating medical decisions can be overwhelming, and I’ve had incredible support from my family throughout this process. Having both my dad and my brother in the medical field has been an immense privilege, and I’m deeply grateful for their guidance, advocacy, and reassurance every step of the way. For now, it’s one step at a time 🩵

From office life to ocean life 🌊 I never thought my life would look like this. Trading meetings for sea horses, screens for ocean views, and office shoes for fins was the best decision I ever made 🩵

One girl, ten hobbies … zero pressure to be good at any of them 😅 When I trade doomscrolling for diving, dancing, or painting, I feel like me again; grounded, curious, calm. Some days I crave adventure, other days stillness. Both count. We weren’t made to scroll all day; we were made to create. What about you, do we share any hobbies, or is there one you’ve been wanting to try? ✨ #hobbies #selflove #createoverconsume #slowdown #oceanwomen #travelcreator #scubadiving #outdoorslife

It’s finally Friday… what are you thinking about? For me, it’s always diving. Whether you want to start your underwater journey, try a new specialty, or level up with advanced courses, there’s always another adventure waiting below the surface.

Ithmus Peak reopened on Dec 21st after fawning season. A steady climb onto an exposed ridgeline, with Lake Hāwea on one side and Lake Wānaka on the other. A track that doesn’t rush you, but rewards every step. Around 5-6 hours return, and worth every step. Some views deserve to be seen horizontally. #IthmusPeak #LakeHāwea #LakeWānaka #NZHikes #SouthIsland BackcountryNZ RespectTheLand TrampingNZ MountainDays WideViews

Back from the South Island after 2 months on the road. Solo travel has a way of slowing everything down: the roads, the mornings, even your own thoughts. I learned to trust my pace, embrace quiet, and feel small in the best way. If you’ve ever travelled alone, you know it’s not about being alone, it’s about being present. What’s the thing you love most about travelling solo? #SoloTravel #SouthIslandNZ #MindfulTravel #TravelAlone #SoloAdventure

Most people see danger. Divers see balance 🥹 The more you spend time in the Ocean, the more you realize it was never something to conquer. It was something to understand. Because fear doesn’t disappear when you dive with sharks, It just turns into respect🦈 Tag your favorite person, community or dive center that helped you see the ocean differently 🩵 #ScubaDiving #SharkDiving #UnderwaterLife #OceanPerspective

We talk a lot about how empowering solo travel is. We don’t talk enough about the responsibility, the vigilance, the quiet loneliness, or the strength it builds in you. Traveling alone as a woman isn’t just sunsets and self-discovery. It’s decision-making. Pattern recognition. Boundaries. Adaptability. It’s learning that intuition isn’t dramatic, it’s information. It’s realizing you can hold awe and ache at the same time. And it’s coming home knowing you trust yourself more than before. If you’ve traveled solo, what changed in you?
