ever since i saw this cool video on how to cook quinoa from my new roots – i got totally addicted.
it makes it look so appealing to cook, that now every time i need to cook something easy i no longer turn to pasta, but go for quinoa.
i love it with herbs or with vegetables – it’s delicious, plus i know i’m eating healthy!
have you ever heard of free dive?
it’s a sport in which you dive on a single breath, without the assistance of tanks – amazing right!?
tanya streeter holds several free diving records – in 2002, she broke the men’s no limit world diving record by diving to a depth of 525 feet (160 m) here in turks and caicos islands – for more info on free diving in turks and caicos, go here.

we were astonished when we saw a couple at the beach last weekend grabbing a starfish from the sea and placing it in their backpack…
it might be very tempting for some to take such a beautiful creature as a souvenir back home – but what if everyone decides to do the same?
when we see them grabbing another one, once again we ask if the starfish was dead or alive – we have been living here for a while and have never found a dead starfish on the sea.
we nicely explained that there is a lot of work done by decr in the island to protect marine life, and how the increase of tourists is great for the economy but dangerous if they don’t respect marine life…they then placed both starfish back under water.
