📍Zen Padel, Koh Phangan
You can rent an apartment here and play padel 24/7 by @dianawandersworld

Unexpectedly, I went for an advanced cycling workout and find myself with a group of fit hot girls singing our favorite childhood songs out loud leading by this hot coach at
📍 Cyclone cycling, Koh Phangan, Thailand by @dianawandersworld

I paid for 5.5 hours of someone touching me and it’s the best thing I’ve done all year.
She found pain in places I forgot existed. Amazing Thai massage experience last night. by @dianawandersworld

I used to run companies. Now I choose my accommodation based on how many steps it takes to get to a padel court. 😂🎾

Not sure this is what people mean by career growth, but I’m not complaining.

After playing padel in over 20 countries, I’ve developed a rather expensive habit of finding beautiful places to play padel.

And now I’m plotting how to get more people involved in this madness. 🌴

Thailand is just the beginning 👀 by @dianawandersworld

Your life should not be on hold just because the right person hasn’t arrived yet!

Agree? by @dianawandersworld

Unpopular opinion: Latino parties & Bachata dancing is one of the best ways to make new friends while traveling. 🕺🏽

I’ve only had 3 Bachata classes. Somehow I still ended up on that dance floor all night. The energy, the music, the crowd… the VIBE was absolutely everything.

This is exactly why I travel: not just to see places, but to feel them. Latino parties have a way of pulling strangers together and turning them into family, and the last night was no exception.

No rush. Just dancing with my favorite people to the live sounds of Los Panganeros, pool vibes, and the sun sinking into the sea. ✨

Slow travel isn’t about slowing down, it’s about being fully present in moments like this. 🌍❤️

Some nights you don’t plan — they just happen. 🌅 by @dianawandersworld

Some people are waiting for the right person to travel with.
I didn’t want to put my life on hold.

Spoiler: I learned absolutely nothing except their BBQ recipe 🍖😭

This is what pure freedom looks like. Two kids, one red bike, zero worries.
I still wear my helmet because I’m not that cool yet 😅
But here’s the thing, Koh Phangan is safe enough for this kind of childhood, and these kids get it.
They just live, no overthinking, no fear.
We spend our whole lives trying to find that kind of freedom, and these kids are born with it. by @dianawandersworld

Christmas Eve on the magical island of beautiful people and coconut palm trees 🌴 by @dianawandersworld

Apparently winter still exists. Who knew. I landed in Riga, Latvia for a very short business trip and suddenly I’m in a Christmas movie: cold air on my face, Christmas lights everywhere, and the smell of mulled wine in Old Town Riga. After years of chasing beaches and palm trees, this Riga winter felt almost exotic to me. Christmas in Riga is not loud or fake, it’s cozy and a bit mysterious, like the city is quietly flirting with you.

I split my time between getting lost in the narrow streets of Riga Old Town and stopping by the Riga Christmas Market in Dome Square (Doma laukums), which has been voted number 3 Christmas market in Europe this winter. Not bad for a “small” Baltic city. And it’s not just about mulled wine there – the whole square smells like grilled meat, hot stews, roasted nuts, gingerbread, and all kinds of Latvian comfort food being cooked right in front of you. That’s my version of local luxury: fair prices, good food, and a city that doesn’t try too hard.

Riga is one of those Baltic cities where you can just walk, breathe, and feel safe while getting your festive overdose.

If you’re thinking about a winter city break in Europe, add this to your “things to do in Riga” list: explore Riga Old Town, check out the Christmas market on Dome Square, watch the lights reflecting on the old buildings, then hide in a small cafe with a view and pretend you live here. Call it your unofficial Riga travel guide from a digital nomad who usually runs from winter but made an exception for this city. by @dianawandersworld

Touch the sky — even on the court. Every set, every shot, every step forward is your personal takeoff.

At @oxygen.kohphangan, we don’t just play. We grow, we recharge, and we rise higher.

Let’s touch the sky together. 🎾✨ #OxygenPadelTennis #KohPhangan by @dianawandersworld
