Complete Freedom

Title – Complete Freedom
Date – September 1998
Location - Palau - Micronesia

Out of the 343 of the islands in Palau there are a number that you can visit, if you can find someone to drop you off. This island is 2 hours by boat from the inhabited island of Koror, but most days a couple of dive boats come into the region. It is possible to camp on the islands for the price of a National Park Ticket and this means you are left alone and can have an island all to yourself. It is an extremely tempting and a unique experience. The sense of freedom is only matched by the knowledge that you are alone, with no means of communication, no means of escape and relying only on a verbal agreement that someone would come and pick you up on a prearranged date.

Experiences like this may not be appropriate for the first time traveller and there are less remote parts of the world that will suit them better, but at Beyond The Blue we believe that our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop can help you achieve your plans and help you get almost anywhere in the world and back again safely.
