    The Maldives: A Turquoise Kind of Life

    I sit here looking out the window at the rain falling steadily as a fog rolls in over the hills. As I watch the drops falling into my birdbath I sigh, remembering a week spent on a dive boat in the Maldives back in February 2013.

      I am a photographer, writer and storyteller. This blog reflects my love of the beach, swimming, sailing, sunshine and sea breezes. My travels have taken me all over the world, and still there are so many more beautiful places I dream of exploring.

       

      I hope that through this collection of stories and images you are inspired to find your own version of paradise - a place where water comes in more shades of blue than we have names for, the powdery white sand feels cool and soft underfoot, and a salty sea breeze ruffles your hair. A world of saltwater and sunshine.
