Into the Melt of Light~
There are moments when the world softens at the edges. When the sun leans low enough to scatter gold across the water, and everything is a blur of presence. I stood there watching, unsure if I was dissolving into the scene or if the scene was becoming me. Waiting. Reflecting. Searching. Being. There is a…

Finding Solace by the Sea: My Emirates Reflection
This is my fifth visit to the Emirates, and every time I leave, I carry with me a lingering thought: something feels incomplete. For years, I’ve felt the subtle call of the Persian Gulf, its turquoise waters whispering to me, yet I never made the time to step into its waters. It’s strange how life…

As Close as it Gets to Heaven~ Inle Lake
Some places on our planet are just breathtakingly beautiful, but with Inle it’s not just that, it’s people, the light, the birds, the gentle nature of the dream like landscape; they all come together to make a paradise you wish you never have to leave. All I can think of leaving it is how and…

The Best Things in Life are Hard to Reach~ Boracay
Boracay, a green and white gem in the middle of a blue sea, blessed with a panorama of clouds and a ongoing theater of sky and water on and impossibly large canvas, is not easy to travel to. Almost like giving birth, painful as difficult, but still you would do it again and being there…

A 90 minute drive from the bustling Shanghai Metropolis, lies one of several old water towns where life carries on with a completely different rhythm. Water has this way of slowing things life down to a gentle meander, and it magically transforms reality into gentler ripples of dream like visions. Blue and soft in nature,…
