So true Liam, we are expected to conform to set labels.

One of my favourite moments. All is quiet on the boat. The divers are basking in the sun whilst I am in my own creative space, visualizing the landscape underneath the waves... to bring it alive on a chalk board for the dive site briefing. I loved calling everyone closer around me, telling my boat-full of enthusiastic divers what wonders of nature I hoped to show them that day. I loved how at one I felt with myself and with the ocean all around me. Over the years, the daily hours in the sea shaped my body as well as my mind... I don't think I've ever been happier. When I guided my divers, I loved to see everyones' eyes sparkle with a vividness that only comes from pure bliss and fulfilment. Life is simpler down there. Politics, egotism, posturing, stereotypes, assumptions... they all disappear when we are far out of our element, yet surrounded by beauty. #liamklenk #paralian #lifejourney #amwriting #notjusttrans #scubadiving #ocean #travel #authorsofinstagram

On 16th of November, I experienced a different kind of speaking engagement. A friend of mine invited me to be a guest lecturer during one of her classes at Hong Kong university. I was delighted to have the privilege to listen to her presentation on cross cultural communication in the event industry. Then even more delighted to be able to share some of my international experiences in a variety of different industries with her students. Everyone was highly engaged and curious. And, I was reminded of how much I love and miss teaching. There is a special kind of satisfaction in sharing and helping others grow. #liamklenk #paralian #lifejourney #expatlife #notjusttrans #growth #inspiration #authorsofinstagram #amwriting

“What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.” (Werner Herzog) I decided to use this beautiful metaphoric description of life as an epigraph for my book Paralian. There is no light without darkness, no life without struggles, no path without challenges. The monster lurking in the dark is as essential as the air we breathe. How else will we grow, and become more understanding and compassionate towards our own imperfections as well as towards the beautiful imperfections of the people around us? How else will we learn to understand that beauty and imperfection are the same thing? #liamklenk #paralian #lifejourney #notjusttrans #livelifetothefullest #LGBTQI #ocean #authorsofinstagram

Channel dives are amazing... especially in stronger currents with large schools of fish around... #scubadiving #travel #ocean #paralian #liamklenk #lifejourney #bigblue #authorsofinstagram
