And Traveling the World
The Maldives are synonymous with paradise. Island atolls with sparkling white sand dot the aquamarine water of the Indian Ocean like so many crowns, many of them filled with the jewels of over-water bungalows and luxurious resorts. But this isn’t just a five-star playground for travelers; it’s also a place where locals call the islands home. One of them is a friend of mine in London, and she’s brought me to her country to show me two sides of the Maldives: local and luxurious.
You know a place is special when the peacock-shaped garden ornament turns out to be an actual peacock. At first I think I’m seeing things, but on second glance I realize this is not a hallucination. There is actually a peacock sitting in the garden of my hotel in the Cotswolds.
Today I want to bring you my guide to spending 48 hours in Berlin, Germany. This city is a European capital of cool, and it’s a great place to spend a couple days soaking up the scene.
The problem with London is that it’s hard to leave. The city is so big and has so much to offer that it would be easy to spend a lifetime here without feeling done. But there are a lot of great places outside of London, too, and it’s worth getting away sometimes. As such, today I bring you A Lady in London’s guide to the 15 best day trips from London.
