Guests had been leaving in droves over the last few weeks but my head and heart remained equanimous. "𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘵, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦." My partner in crime for the #kasatour2020 @getupandghost also left in one of the mass departures - I was sad that he left but knew he was making the right decision for himself. It also helps that I am here with some amazing humans. . We are now 25ppl in the middle of the mountains. We are healthy because of the fresh, made-to-order food, we are rich with toilet paper and free from the anxiety of city life. The woes of the world are not lost on us. Whenever internet kicks in, we get a barrage of panic & anxiety in the form of news articles, messages from the government and from people back home. It is all quite scary and it feels incredibly surreal. . Am I better off here? For the moment, yes. Going back home means spending a butt load of cash that I will not be able to replenish until I can work again. The whole world is closed/cancelled and travellers are being sent emails from our governments asking us to buy non-refundable airline tickets to get home and spend more money we don't have. With border closures and unreliable internet access, why would I spend money on a tickets for a flight that I might not make? If the cost of living is exponentially lower where I currently stay, why would go home where we are still being charged the same amount for our bills and for groceries? Why would I go home to so much uncertainty AND no way to sustain myself financially? . This brings me to my next train of thought: How many people & businesses are going bankrupt as a result of this pandemic? Fine, ask everyone to self-isolate to stop the spread of the virus - this is good. What about the bills that still need to get paid? Our savings can only sustain us for so long. If anyone can shed some light, it would be super helpful on this side of the globe. . Side bar: I realize I haven't been posting with any sort of consistency but I hope sharing a little about what's going on in my head every once in a while will be enough for now. . Thanks for reading, friends. . Xo Kaye

It's Oh So Quiet ~ 1 min read ~ I have been struggling with how to share my thoughts over this whole pandemic. Calls for self-isolation met with mad rushes from travellers to public spaces, like airports, to get back home where it is safer... it all feels super contradictory. Now lockdowns are being mandated and it seems that slowly but surely the whole world will retreat. . In the last two weeks here has also been a surge of online offerings. This innate desire to stay connected, to stay entertained through it all makes me wonder how the dust will settle. How are we programming ourselves during this time? Which businesses/jobs will become obsolete because we are discovering that we can get what we need online from the comfort of our homes? Can we be free of social media? How are we showing up for ourselves during this time? Can we rediscover what it is like to be offline? I can't imagine what new ailment will arise from everyone being more affixed to their devices trying to stay "in the know". . Here is another contradiction: I want to stay connected and share online offerings but not at the expense of my own mental health. Every time I go online, there is a barrage of updates about the virus & lockdowns & border closings and such. I am also in a place where the internet is not as accessible so sharing something live is kinda out of the question. Putting my thinking cap on and will be back with something that makes sense hopefully. . In the meantime, I'll try to keep you all posted from my travels via my Stories. If you have any suggestions or simply want to reach out, hmu in my DMs . XO Kaye . 📸 Rachel when we went on a field trip to Pranang from Ton Sai

Come to Jamaica this April! . @getupandghost & I will be celebrating the last leg of @thekasalife tour teaching Slacklining and Aerial Yoga at @tmrw.tday 🙃 . Explore New Heights with us and book your tickets in the #linkinbio

Sometimes you have to wring out the bad shit with a little yoga. . That's how I got hooked on the practice. Whenever I was stressed out or if my heart hurt, yoga was there. It got me out of my head and into my body. . What do you do to wring out the bad shit?
