Later often becomes never.
This is how I travel:

Choose the place that makes your soul sing.

Book the flights early as you can 8-12 months in advance.

Save for the stay that feels like part of the story, it’s not just a bed!

Add the essentials — transfers, a couple of beautiful meals, one or two tours —
and leave the rest open for magic.

If you don’t book it, it won’t happen.

After my husband’s stroke 7 years ago, we looked at each other and said,
‘Thank God we travelled.’
….And we’ve managed to keep traveling since, just in a different way.

The memories we made and our boys are the greatest gift of our lives.

Work to live.
Seek joy.
Book the adventure.
Just start planning.

We are not wealthy people, we are just good planners!

Design is emotional.
Home is emotional.
And the things we choose — from the rooms we shape to the pieces we wear — change how we move through the our day.
Inspired by beautiful designers and my favourite kaftans, I’m learning to live more intentionally, more beautifully, more me.

We had to do to! Angelina’s Paris, and it didn’t disappoint. Sometimes you just have to do what’s on the list. ☕️🇫🇷💋💋
