Blogs from Maldives, Asia - page 4

There is no question one of the things we love the most about aa overseas trip is the opportunity to slow things down and observe the world. When we travel, we have the chance to sit back, breathe and actually savor moments like meals or coffee breaks. We are able to set the pace so that we can drop everything for high tea or just plop down at a cafe to chat and soak in the surroundings.

There has been a recent ... read more
