Travelfish #515: The Mangroves Edition

This week I’m leading with a great video about sand, mangroves, poverty, theft, Cambodia, and Singapore. It is well worth a watch.

I’ve been on the road of late and was too flat chat to get the newsletters out. Now that I’m home, back to regular programming. Apols for the delay. This week I’m leading with a great short video about sand, mangroves, poverty, theft, Cambodia, and Singapore. The video also gives the newsletter its theme—mangroves. As an aside I’m just back from Vietnam’s Phu Quoc Island and there’s going to be plenty on Couchfish on sand mining, development, and tourism in the coming weeks! Over on Couchfish, I have two free-to-read pieces. First came [A Consideration List](%2F%2Fwww.travelfish.org%2Fcouchfish%2Fnews%2Fcouchfish-consideration-list/1/0100018f536f5b1d-a9276710-3667-48db-ba1c-2ec6cf03982f-000000/QLx2wc2fGuxIjRy2HgAw3NqEaDI=373), which looks at ways smart businesses could help one another, followed by [I, Robot](%2F%2Fwww.travelfish.org%2Fcouchfish%2Fnews%2Fcouchfish-i-robot/1/0100018f536f5b1d-a9276710-3667-48db-ba1c-2ec6cf03982f-000000/2qkRXuVz7R-gWjCNV5CJOXCp70o=373), with some thoughts on automations and hotels. I am not a fan! Lastly, You might notice there’s a plug this week [for two yoga retreats](%2F%2Fsamsyogaletter.substack.com%2Fp%2Fjiwa-to-jeda-retreat/1/0100018f536f5b1d-a9276710-3667-48db-ba1c-2ec6cf03982f-000000/sXHdLqvTK6avRQjhzP5JzHogGoE=373) in Pemuteran, West Bali, Indonesia. The retreats are being led by Sam (that would perhaps be Ms Travelfish to you), and the price is great, the location greater, and the teachers are greater still! No, I am not biased at all. If you’re interested, please do get in touch fast—and be sure to do some diving between your downward facing dogs—Eel Point near Menjangan Island is a fabulous dive site. See you next week—really!
