I couldn’t help myself, I just had to have a mini-photoshoot with this fabulous shearling sofa and Burj Khalifa view, in my Carole Lombard suite at the new @paramounthoteldubai. All white and sumptuous, it’s fit for a starlet. . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #instafashion #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #outfit #traveltheworld #ootd #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #sheisnotlost #dametraveller #wearetravelgirls #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #gogirlguides #femmetravel #thetravelwomen #mydubai #dubai #burjkhalifa #roomwithaview #paramounthoteldubai #downtowndubai
Using this five-day weekend to be productive - I’ve finally updated my website (link to travelaurel.com in bio; essentially a portfolio of some of my published writing, though I hope to write more of my own stuff in it in 2020... just like I tell myself every year). And don’t let this photo mislead you: There is no Paris content! Though perhaps I should write something up about seeing Paris by walking 30,500 steps and 24km (15 miles) in about 12 hours, because yep, that is a thing that I did. In new designer combat boots. They weren’t broken in then, but they sure as hell are now. . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #paris #louvre #museum #travelwriter #travelblogger #travelblog #architecture #design #france #louvremuseum #cityscape #tourist #impei #louvrepyramid
Taking in a view of Tozeur from its old medina. An oasis town at the edge of the Sahara in southern Tunisia, it is known for its date production and beautiful ochre bricks, made locally in kilns, and built into eye-catching façades with diamond, zig-zag and even palm tree motifs. . . . @anantaratozeur #anantaratozeur #anantarajourneys #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #sahara #tunisia #oasis #tozeur #facade #architecture #design #desert #palmtrees #medina #northafrica
