Another morning of seaplane transfers, as we arrived back at the Malé International Airport, we were quickly whisked away by speedboat. We watched as Malé’s small skyline disappeared behind us, and in a few short minutes we reached our destination. Greeted with chilled mint towels and coconut ice cream, it was a refreshing introduction to our new island […]
Being unable to leave Hong Kong for the past six months, Johnny and I were ready for a bit of luxury and time away from the city. So what better place to relax and de-stress than in the Maldives at Kuramathi Island Resort, which became our home for the better part of one week. Arriving via seaplane, […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Nature’s Zen Garden in the Maldives. Majority of our sunsets were spent at Kuramathi’s sand bank. Stretching far into the ocean at low tide, the sand bank was the perfect place to stroll and watch the sun set. With […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of a heron at sunset in the Maldives. As our boat returned from the neighboring local island, the sun was beginning to set. We rushed off the boat, planning to watch some sting rays, but instead we found ourselves captivated […]
Iknow I don’t usually post on Sundays, but I wanted to announce our Maldives Month here on Besudesu Abroad. Remember how I said I wouldn’t be posting about Christmas this year?

As a larger foodie than I am, today Johnny is joining us to help talk about all the amazing food we experienced at Kuramathi. Several days before our trip to the Maldives, I was speaking with a co-worker who had been there before. Although she found it beautiful and commended me for our choice of […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of Kani Doraku in Dotonbori, Osaka. This isn’t the first time I’ve written about Dotonbori, and it surely won’t be the last. Osaka is bright and loud when compared to it’s sophisticated sister Kyoto or modern brother Tokyo. When the […]
Can you believe winter is almost here already? I know I sure can’t. Maybe it’s because Hong Kong is still a nice 80°F outside, but it didn’t dawn on me until the other day when I went inside a mall that was decked out in Christmas decorations and music. Then I realized that November is […]
