I encourage you to watch these short episodes to get an insight on how creation is always born out of something previously discovered, only to be transformed, combined, and eventually improved into what we commonly call… Invention.

Tags: thinking out loudThis evening, we started reading Runnning from Safety, by Richard Bach. It narrates the encounter of the author with his inner child, and how the invitation of infancy into our grown up lives can help us focus on what truly matters: our dreams.
What a magical rediscovery! I read some of Bach’s books in the past, and was always delighted. How come I paused my private meetings with this author? On the one hand, because I stumbled upon other interesting authors, such as Paulo Coelho. On the other hand, because I cannot read only spiritual novels, I need healthy breaks with philosophy and other fiction, too.
After eight lyrical chapters, the book got me thinking about my own childhood. I am joyous to report that, for the most part, my dreams are alive and well. From a little boy lugging books around and drawing endlessly, I have grown up into a man who reads print and digital media, and designs both for a living. I never stopped travelling, and while we ponder about settling down, the Promised Land remains beyond our cultural borders.
We found the novel while selling Eat Pray Love, in one of those second hand bookshops so familiar to my South-East Asian landscape. Read one, trade one is my motto on the Road – and more and more when I am put as well, no need to hog over things.
The book makes me wonder if there is anything I could improve, and I am eager to read on and find some clues.

During our stay in Langkawi, we discovered that we had many choices of activities. It’s so great that you can choose between very quiet, nearly alone time, or full of activities stay.
If you know us a little you could guess that we happily enjoyed both. We had some days when we practiced Muay Thai in our secret passage from our bungalow to the beach. Followed by swimming in the sea, and reading book while sun tanning. Or we were hunting for places with internet connection to work for days on end, catching up with uploading pictures and talking to people that matter in our lives. I admit that was a challenge, however cafe Hungry Monkey and restaurant The Brasserie seem to offer decent connections. Other days, we enjoyed some of the water sports and road trips.
As I mentioned in my previous post, we stayed two weeks on the island. During that time, we decided to hire a scooter to cover the beautiful island, rent a kayak for a day and go to some of the most beautiful wild beaches placed an island away. Given more time, we would have done much more of that just because it’s worth it 
. There are so many gorgeous unspoiled islands around Langkawi, with white sand beaches easily accessible and definitely worth seeing.
As much as we are not big fans of organised group excursions we also did an island hopping, which included a not so exciting eagle feeding with a chicken :/; a moment at the Lake of Pregnant Maiden; followed by a short 30 min on the stunning Beras Basah Island with another 100 people, and believe me as gorgeous as it is, it’s not that big. We had just enough time to linger around, and follow some crabs with my camera.
While visiting Langkawi, it doesn’t matter how you do it, whether you decide to do it by yourself or go for days of organized excursions. However it is important that you go to explore the incredible islands, otherwise you will miss out on some of the most beautiful beach views ever.
