Hi Abdul! We were in Kalimantan in October, which is why I’m running at as a photo piece. I’m trying to stay current(ish) on my blog, but so far the only thing I’ve done on Sulawesi apart from filing the Toraja story I was working on (which runs in March) is this on my food blog: http://www.worldfoodist.com/2015/01/23/best-restaurants-makassar-indonesia/ and this piece on the caves… http://www.escapeartistes.com/2015/01/16/the-friday-photo-the-leang-leang-caves/. I don’t necessarily write about everything we do on this blog, which is why I never mention its existence on journo trips – but I’ll definitely be in touch about the next Sulawesi trip once I hear back from my editor about islands… It’s looking like early April at the moment, or late March, but I’ll keep in touch! Theodora

No! You can swim right up to them and pick them up in your hands – they’ve evolved to lose their sting to humans (although they still have some fractional amount of venom left, it’s not enough for you to feel it). Amazing experience – you should totally do it.

Yes – it’s amazing the way you can just touch them, isn’t it?

I think jellyfish are such beautiful creatures, the way they move through the water, so it must be incredible to be able to snorkel with them without such a danger of getting stung. Did you have to wear stinger suits or anything?
