What to see, do & eat in Antakya, Turkey
Four(ish) Days in Istanbul - Sultanahmet
Wild parrots! In my yard!
Naxos, the peaceful retreat

Fun fact: these older, traditional buildings in Antakya include recessed holes above windows not only to help let natural sunlight gently slant in, but also to house and feed the local birds. Too sweet! More on Antakya - what to see, do and eat - at my latest blog post at www.travelaurel.com . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #turkey #antakya #hatay #antioch #blogger #architecture #design #citylife #facade #mediterranean #window #bird #throwback

It’s that time of year when dates collide: specifically, work deadlines and the Snow Polo World Cup in St Moritz. Hopefully, one day, in a post-monthly-magazine career I’ll be able to make it out again for the ponies, pistes and indulgent imbibing. A good time was had (head to travelaurel.com to read about it). Also on the to-do list is the World Snow Polo Championship in Aspen... another inconveniently timed (for me) annual event. Freelance, you say... ? . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #polo #snowpolo #stmoritz #switzerland #alps #skiing #skiholiday #aspen #colorado #badruttspalace #stregisaspen #equestrian #graubunden #winter

Hello 2020 and my first travels of the new year and decade: Antakya, Turkey. I’m just about to board my flight back to Dubai, but check out my stories for highlights. While I was there to get an exclusive on the new @themuseumhotelantakya (a five-star hotel built around a fascinating Roman archaeological site that includes the world’s largest mosaic), I was truly amazed by the region in general, which, as the ancient biblical Antioch, brimmed with not only brilliant archaeological and religious sites, but great museums, fantastic food (Hatay is a UNESCO Gastronomic City), unbelievably genuine hospitality from the people, lovely local handicrafts, gorgeous villages and natural sites a short drive from the main city. In a nutshell: GO. 📷: Windswept at the Antakya Catholic Church with the Habibi Naccar Mosque in the background. . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #archaeology #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #cntraveller #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #sheisnotlost #dametraveller #wearetravelgirls #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #gogirlguides #femmetravel #thetravelwomen #turkey #antakya #hatay #antioch #mediterranean

I’m heading to the US shortly for the holidays, but I’ve got to say, aesthetically speaking, nowhere does Christmas as well as London does. Where is your favorite festive destination? . . . #travel #travelphotography #instatravel #travelgram #igtravel #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #wonderful_places #lifewelltravelled #travelwriter #wanderlust #traveling #traveltheworld #ig_worldclub #luxurylifestyle #forthecurious #london #christmas #mayfair #christmaslights #throwback #uk #sheisnotlost #dametraveller #wearetravelgirls #girlslovetravel #dametraveler #gogirlguides #carnabystreet #festive
