WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH #ONEDAYOFFLINE? MY PHONE USED TO BE USED FOR PHONE CALLS, ONLY. NOW, IT’S LIKE AN APPENDAGE... I LOVE THE IDEA OF BEING ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING WITH MY IPHONE. BUT I FEELWE’VE BECOME TOO RELIANT ON THEM, AT THE COST OF LIVING IN THE MOMENT... SO I CANCELLED MONDAY TO TAKE #ONEDAYOFFLINE WITH CATHAY PACIFIC AND SPEND THE DAY EXPLORING ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES WITH TEAM MISCHA, THE OLD FASHIONED WAY, SANS INTERNET. OUR ADVENTURE STARTED AT THE STATION WHERE WE ALL SWITCHED OUR PHONES OFF. THE PLAN SIMPLE, HIKE TO TAI LONG WAN, ENJOY THE BEACH, TAKE THE SPEEDBOAT BACK TO TOWN AND HOME. BUT LIKE ALL THINGS IN LIFE, THINGS DID NOT GO TO PLAN. IT WAS BETTER! THE MAGNIFICENT VIEWS ALONG THE MACHLEHOSE TRAIL. ON THE WAY, WE STOPPED AT SAI WAN AND DETOURED UPSTREAM TO SHEUNG LUK STREAM. IT’S FAMOUS FOR SWIMMING HOLES AND THRILL SEEKING WATERFALLS. I CHANNELLED THE DAREDEVIL IN ME AND CLIMBED UP THE 8 METRE CLIFFS TO JUMP INTO THE FRESHWATER POOL BELOW. IT WAS TERRIFYING!  WE ARRIVED IN TAI LONG WAN WITH THE BEACH ALL TO OURSELVES! I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE THIS STUNNING BEACH IS RIGHT ON MY DOORSTEP. WE SET UP CAMP UNDER A MASSIVE PARASOL AND HAD LUNCH ON THE BEACH. THE AFTERNOON WAS SPENT WITH MY TEAM, READING AN ACTUAL BOOK, AND ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS, INSTEAD OF POSTING ABOUT IT. WE EVEN DID SOME YOGA AND CARTWHEELS!  LATER, WE EXPLORED THE COLOURFUL VILLAGE HOUSES, AND ENCOUNTERED VILLAGERS THAT HAVE LIVED THERE FOR GENERATIONS. WE EVEN CAME ACROSS A FAMILY OF COWS. THE EXPERIENCE ALLOWED ME TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND WAS DEFINITELY LIBERATING FOR MY YOUNG TEAM WHO ARE SO USED TO INSTANT UPDATES. THEY EVEN HELD OFF SWITCHING THIER PHONES BACK ON AT THE END OF THE DAY! HOW WOULD YOU SPEND YOUR #ONEDAYOFFLINE?
