Traditional Sama / Badjao spearfishermen. Davao Gulf, Philippines. (August, 2017)
Originally a nomadic, sea-faring people, this group (like many others in the Philippines) has settled and evolved into a land-based community. Some however, still roam across the seas surrounding Indonesia, Philippines, and Malaysia, independent of any form of citizenshipz
The Sama / Badjao rely on fish for food and for a living. Using traditional, handmade spearguns, they dive down into the depths and scour the sea floor for fish--all on one breath for minutes at a time. This type of direct dependence on the sea means that they are very vulnerable to issues such as overfishing, coral bleaching, and climate change.

honestly just do what makes you happy; there’s never a right or wrong way to go about figuring this life out. we’re all intrinsically different, yet so similar in that we don’t know where we’ll end up, what path we’ll find ourselves upon or who we’ll be in the years to come.
don’t hold yourself back from following the very thing that sets an unwavering desire within you. let the perceptions of others dissolve and feel yourself reach out into all that you once feared 🦋

I have handed in my resignation. 10.5 years after I began working with my amazing colleagues I am saying goodbye to do what I truly love- live out of my backpack with my most prized possession... my passport.
I am sad to say goodbye but excited to embrace my wanderlust and explore what the world has to offer me.
Shit just got real ya'll!

Where is your favourite place in Clarence Valley to park up and catch the views? We think this spot is pretty good! Thanks to @trekmehere for sharing this image. .

I wanna meet someone like you.
Just for the ability to just sit and talk.
About love, about life, about anything, about everything.
I have the deepest affection for intellectual conversations.
It’s been a pleasure to have spent some time in Bagan learning about their people and traditions. Hope I can come back soon (when it’s not 43° 🤒) #bagan#myanmar#mondofotodelmes
