by Lola AkinmadeAsiaPosted on October 26, 2015October 25, 201512 Comments

I came to Bangkok with no expectations. Mostly because I was in town for just four nights with all my daytime hours consumed by TBEX Asia and the last thing on my mind was a river cruise in Bangkok…

25 Northern Lights photos from Swedish Lapland

by Lola AkinmadeEuropePosted on October 12, 2015July 24, 20194 Comments

As I was recently sorting through photos, I realized I hadn’t shared a full photo essay of Northern Lights in Swedish Lapland here on my blog. The occasional photo here and there but not a full gallery, so here are 25 of my favourites…

  • My Croatia writing retreat for one in collaboration with Valamar Lacroma, Dubrovnik @valamarhotels.

As an international bestselling author, I do my best work by the sea... The Adriatic Sea.

I draw inspiration from all around me... Light, food, energy. It’s often part self-care, part mind-care.

When I let my creativity flow to the sound of  lapping waves. Taking in incredible sunsets.

Only to do it all again come morning. Over and over again.

This is my sacred place. This is where I write.

  • Postcard: Dubrovnik, Croatia 
Location: @kopundbk 

Back from a wonderful culinary tour led by the one and only @croatian_wine_guy as a guest of @experiencedubrovnik while in town working on a new project.

While I sort through photos and notes for an upcoming post, I wanted to share this particular capture since I’m usually behind the camera. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen myself laugh this way. 

Good food, great company, and gratitude that I get to do this. To share stories through words and images.

Thank you Bozidar for the photo 🙏🏽
