Throwback to a fabulous weekend - not to mention a world class sunset - at @forty1north. I think it may be time to take a trip back to #Newport. #sunset #rhodeisland #indiansummer #newenglandsummer #beachday #sailing #weekendescape (at Newport, Rhode Island)

Really.... traveling for work would be SO much easier if I could just figure out a way to have my own jet. . . . . #luxurytravel #privatejet #lifewelltraveled #travelwriter #travelphotography #aviationphotos #aviation #wheelsup #fly #travel #wanderlust #travelporn (at New York)

Just posted! My video "Discovering Maldives", just the thing to inspire some wanderlust. Special thanks to @maldives_tv @wtwc_maldives @privateairmag @qatarairways @qatarairwaysholidays and everyone who helped make this experience utterly unforgettable!

It's hard to leave this island and all it's wonderful people and charms... until next time, #Maldives............................ #bucketlisttrip #cocomoment #cocktails #cocktailporn #boduhithi #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled #wtwc2017 @coco_resorts @qatarairways @aaliyer.m @wtwc_maldives @maldives_tv @cocopriveprivateisland @privateairmag (at Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives)

If only every Thursday could begin like this..... #Paradise found at the beautiful @Coco_Resorts - the idyllic finish to an exciting week celebrating #WRWC2017 with @wtwc_maldives and @Maldives_tv for @PrivateAirMag. #livewell #bucketlisttrip #cocomoment #lifewelltraveled #luxurytravel #maldives #maldivesmoments (at Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives)

If this can't make you happy, you're just not trying hard enough. Thank you @coco_resorts for this slice of #maldives perfection. holidaygoals #lifesabeach #lifewelltraveled #cocomoment (at Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives)

Hold my calls... I've just entered a world of relaxation perfection - courtesy of my villa at @coco_resorts. Miles away from the nearest worry, this place has an elegant way of making stress just disappear. #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled #travelwriter #traveltuesday #tuesdayvibes #cocomoment #playingpool (at Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives)

This view, right now, is so insanely spectacular it's hard to believe that it's even real. But I assure you it is. Just another #Maldives sunset. This place just doesn't ever fail to thrill and surprise me. #wtwc2017 #maldives #sunset #cocomoments #lifewelltraveled #luxurytravel (at Coco Bodu Hithi, Maldives)

I can't come to the phone right now but please leave me a message and I'll get back you as soon as I can" ..........................................................................................................#wtwc2911 #cocomoment #beachgoals #exhale #maldives #lifewelltraveled #luxurytravel #travelwriter #jetset #wanderlust

Not a bad view for my evening commute ... pretty fabulous way to arrive at the @wtwc_maldives gala where I'm representing @privateairmag tonight 🥂 #maldivesmoment #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled

Some Mondays are better than others. #wtwc2017 #lifewelltraveled #lifesabeach #mondaymotivation #cheers #maldives #maldives_ig (at Jumeirah Vittaveli)

I am smitten by these these suspended chairs dotting the relaxation area at @jumeirahvittaveli's blissfully tranquil spa. Like cosy little weaver nests hanging from the trees - a Balinese massage in an overwater treatment room is the only thing in this island beguiling enough to make me want to move! #Luxury and #indulgence meet #paradise in the @Maldives.

Good Morning, Gorgeous! This was the view waiting for me outside my villa this morning at spectacular @jumeirahvittaveli, one of @jumeirahgroup's spectacular resorts in the @maldives. .....................................................................@privateairmag @qatarairways @wtwc_maldives @maldives_tv @wtwc_maldives #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled #sunrise #lifesabeach #bucketlisttrip #onceinalifetime #travelwriter #onassignment #asianluxuryvillas #aroundtheworld #maldives (at Jumeirah Vittaveli)

And just like that, my breath is taken away..... @jumeirahvittaveli @jumeirahgroup @maldives_tv @wtwc_maldives @qatarairways @maldives.islands @privateairmag #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled #magicmaldives

Early airport runs are far more palatable when there's an elegant lounge replete with warm danish waiting for you. Thank you for a lovely start to my day @qatarairways. ✈️ #luxurytravel #lifewelltraveled #wheelsup
