Snorkeling in Madagascar

As somebody who is scared of basically 99% of all things, I never imagined I would be brave enough to stick my head under the water and swim for a prolonged amount of time, in the actual open sea.

A Wadi Rum Jeep Tour • Sunset in the Desert

The silent sky was flooded with pinks, oranges, purples and reds, bleeding in and out of each other like a watercolour kaleidoscope. In the distance a jeep buzzed a route across the dunes, kicking up a cloud of sand in its wake like a pebble skimming the sea.
