Where do I begin… I’ve been home about a week now but in my thoughts I’m still on this beautiful island called Mo’orea🌺
Whenever I try to explain this trip I went on to friends and family, it’s hard to find words to describe it to them - the feeling, the moments of laughter and deep conversations we shared but most of all the joy this place brought me. Being able to see sharks every day, sharing my first ever whale encounter underwater with such a special group of people and just being surrounded by so much beauty and happiness made this trip so amazing.
I wanna thank you Ross ROSS LONG | Photography | Ocean | Workshops | Australia for bringing together a group of strangers who left as friends.
For introducing us to you, Te Moana Temoana Poole , and the whole team at Wildma WildMā • Polynesian Ocean Safari . Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom, sharing your stories and showing us around your home, above and below the surface and also a special thank you for being in my documentary. I’m so grateful! I’ve never met anyone who speaks with so much intention and is so connected with the ocean like you.
Also, thank you captain Rick for navigating the boat so skilfully through some of the roughest seas I’ve ever experienced!
To everyone I met along the way, thank you for making this trip so special. I feel so grateful to now call you my friends!
And thank you, ocean, for letting us experience a little of your magic and for every incredible animal we had the privilege of encountering🩵
