I have just returned from a beautiful trip to Bimini in Bahamas. It was organized by Raeline Brady and we stayed at Kevin and Kandy Benedictes gorgeous place just by the ocean. They have also been taking us out with their boat to swim with Spotted and Bottlenose Dolphins, Sting Rays and even some Sharks.

In february 2014 i showed a couple of my humback whale photos for the first time in an exhibition. It was the artist group MEGMA, which I am a member of, together with some greenlandic artists who arranged an exhibition with the title ”Trubute to the sea” at Katuaq, the culture house in Nuuk.

In february 2014 I joined my danish freediving friends Dan & Brian to Dominican Republic again, where we went swimming with our favorite animals: the Humpback whales.

Next autumn I went back to Tonga with Apnea Australia on a combinated training camp for freediving and swimming with the whales. If possible, the whether was even worse than last year, but it was great anyway!

I came back from my trip to Tonga in October 2012. I was a long trip for such a short period of time (three weeks, one week was only travelling…) Also the weather was unusually bad, with rain, storms, pretty cold and the whales were not that many. BUT we did have some wonderful, close encounters, mostly with mothers & calves. Above, you can see one of them. Also I met some great people!
If you ever are in that neighborhood I do recommend that you stay with Patty at the uninhabited island of Uoleva at www.serenitybeaches.com there you can go whale watching with Dave & Trisha at www.whalediscoveries.com
or, if you want to be closer to ”civilisation”, you can stay on nearby Ha’apai Island, with Brian & Sabine at their diving accomodation www.FinsnFlukes.com There you can also get whale watching services.
It was not noticeabel that Beijing Capital International Airport is the second largest airport in the world, but by all means it must be one of the best! Also many good functions that you often miss at other airports like: childrens play area, resting chairs, charging possibilities, shiny restrooms, free Internet (not Facebook though…).

In january 2012 I went back to Kona with my freediving friend Genevieve Manbre. We had a great time, staying for about month, swimming with dolphins almost every day and meeting old and new human friends.
