Interviewed by PADI, Clearly Internet-Famous Now.

It’s been pretty hard keeping this one under wraps. I am bad at keeping secrets! So here it is:



I’m super excited to share with you all my interview with PADI….
 Cubicle Throwdown – Changing Office Life for Whale Sharks!!







Check it out and let me know what you think.





I have to thank Carmel for having friends in high places (aka PADI media specialists) who approached me to do this interview. For those that don’t know, PADI is the scuba diving training agency that I did all my certifications and teach under. This is a really big deal for me! PADI is a massive worldwide organization and I’m so flattered that they asked me to be a part of this. That’s a pretty big honor for a dive instructor. I’m hoping to make lots of new connections from this exposure – if you found my blog via my interview, comment below and say hi, and please follow along for all my future adventures (and misadventures) in paradise!


Guys, make sure to follow me on Facebook and Twitter … there’s lots of extras posted there that don’t make it onto the blog. Plus it makes fancy big interviews happen. So there’s that.

    It was a great connection, she is an awesome chick. We've had some fun emails back and forth! Thanks for having such cool friends 🙂 And glad you picked up on the pros and cons. My job is really fun and I live somewhere cool, but it's way, WAY too easy to see it with rose-colored glasses!

    Oh no! My comment was ousted!

    I am so glad you and Megan connected. It was one of those "duh" moments once it happened…she loves travelers and diving, so it's a perfect match 🙂 Great interview about the pros and cons of your lifestyle. I think it was really balanced and realistic without sounding like you hate it.

    Wow – LUCKY!! I would love to do that. I spent half the time telling Megan, the awesome lady who interviewed me, how cool her job was…although she seems to think mine is pretty good too 🙂 Thanks for the well wishes! xo

    Hi everyone – Rika here. Just changed over the commenting system to Disqus and it's decided to be a jerk while importing, and label all previous comments on the site as a 'guest comment' and remove all comment/reply styling. Sorry about that. Oh well. Onward and upward from here out! Cheers!
