So Many Stories, So Little Time

March 21, 2013by stuffeestuff 2 Comments

The other day a nice glass of red wine inspired me to start writing about my wine tasting adventures in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Yesterday, a long day of meetings with […]

Art? Or my pool? 💦 #art #poolvibes #stayhomestaysafe #beautyineverything

My husband worked in Africa for a while shortly after we moved to Dubai. Rather than him returning to Dubai every weekend, sometimes I would meet him somewhere in Africa instead. I fell in love with Africa on one of my first visits to Kenya. This incredible trip to the Maasai Mara ten years ago secured a life-long place in my heart not just for travel, but for Africa, it’s people and it’s wildlife. On this particular trip I was stared down by lions, serenaded by a river full of hippos, danced with a Maasai tribe, wandered with wildebeests, stood in awe just steps from a pair of rhinos and had my tent (if you can call a luxuriously furnished tent at a five star hotel a tent) ransacked by a monkey. Seriously. #wanderlust #speechless #africa . . . . #kenya #maasaimara #africansafari #fairmontmarasafariclub #luxurytravel #expatlife #travelbug #canadianexpatindubai #traveltribe #iloveafrica #travelmemories #takemeback #lionheart #savetherhinos #investinmemories #photography #nofilter #stayhomestaysafe #exploretheworldonline

It’s been a long week and there is no place I would rather be than home with my family. Happy Thursday! #homesweethome #rightsideup #afternoonyoga #sisters

Eight years ago, we went to Vietnam. Not our typical holiday destination but I wanted to go, we didn’t have kids yet and we could. It was such a fabulous trip! The streets of Hanoi were alive with the buzz of people, the food was incredible, the mountains and rice terraces of Sa Pa were gorgeous and Ha Long Bay was even more beautiful than the pictures. Looking back, I can’t remember why we wanted to sleep on a boat in Ha Long bay but we did. It was probably my idea. Every time I look at this photo taken from the deck just after dusk, I can remember watching the scattered lights bobbing in the distance and feel the still, damp air against my skin after the rain. So many memories to share with the kids one day. . . . . #vietnam #hanoi #halongbay #asia #onaboat #luxurytravel #expatlife #travelbug #traveltribe #ilovevietnam #travelmemories #takemeback #makingmemories #photography #nofilter #stayhomestaysafe #exploretheworldonline

This time last year we had just arrived in Bali. Today I’m preparing for another day of working from home and trying to upload the kids school work. The skies in Dubai are currently sandy grey but in Bali they were gorgeous shades of bright blue and all the sand was on the beach. This photo is of our backyard at the private residence we stayed in at the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay. With a two bedroom guest house by the pool it was way too big for the four of us but cost less than the smaller hillside villas where we stayed on our first visit, had full access to the resort amenities, had tons of space for the kids to run around and came with daily babysitting services if needed. Steps from the beach, the stunning resort pool and our favourite restaurant overlooking the ocean, Sadara, it was paradise. Stay safe until we meet again @fsbali 😊 . . . . #jimbaranbay #indonesia #bali #fourseasons #fsbali #familyvacation #luxurytravel #dubaikids #expatlife #travelbug #traveltribe #ilovebali #travelmemories #takemeback #littleadventurers #photography #nofilter #stayhomestaysafe #exploretheworldonline

We have lived in Dubai for almost 12 years. One of the big reasons we’ve stayed so long is our love of travel and how close the whole world feels from here. Now, for the first time in ages, we don’t have a trip planned. The safest place to be is home to help the world heal as soon as possible. One day we will be able to travel again and next time I hope that we will all be more wise, more kind and more appreciative having been through this life changing experience of Covid-19 together. Until then, we have the memories we have already made and, now that I have a bit more time at home, I will start sharing some more photos from our adventures. These photos make me happy and I hope one of them may inspire your next trip when it is safe again. This photo is from our last trip to South Africa in February. My daughters were wandering aimlessly through a garden in Franschhoek at @stay_lacle excitedly spotting different fruit and vegetables. We didn’t know then that it would be the last trip for a while. #beautifulmemories . . . . #franschhoek #southafrica #lacledesmontagnes #staylacle #familyvacation #luxurytravel #dubaikids #expatlife #travelbug #traveltribe #ilovesouthafrica #travelmemories #takemeback #littleadventurers #freshair #underthesun #africanadventures #photography #nofilter #stayhomestaysafe #exploretheworldonline

One of my many happy places in Italy. #wineisyummy #happyholidays

Lying on the floor waiting for my 3 year old to fall asleep and came across this incredible photographer in Australia on Instagram. I’m running out of walls but am sure I can find a place for this gorgeous piece of ocean art @warrenkeelan #art #ocean #photography #love #natureisbeautiful
