Raffles Maldives – my luxury trip to paradise

I can hardly believe I’m writing this from the Maldives! I never imagined I’d make it here, but when my friend spontaneously suggested booking a flight (who knew it’s only a 4.5-hour trip from Bangkok?), I couldn’t resist. Of course, if you’re going to experience…

The second bite of the Big Apple – back in NY!

Yes, I came back the Big Apple New York! Who would have thought I’d be in New York twice in one year? But here I am again. This trip felt different from the first, not only because I was already familiar with New York’s streets,…
