WANDERLUST

I have always felt like I have the soul of an eagle trapped in a woman’s body

As a third culture kid, I have lived my life as a sort of ‘citizen of the planet’. My wild, adventurous spirit can’t live according to the “norm”. I travel to regroup, to reinvent myself, to be the best me I can be, to find joy in the ordinary and peace in exploring. I travel to be. 
 
Why does getting away make people want to get down? Must be the reduced level of cortisol 😉 Let’s reach sexy vacation nirvana together!
 
This page is my little (work in progress and nowhere near complete) guide to my favourite passions from around the world, as well as places I’m dying to visit. 

Find peace and seclusion in Turks & Caicos

I am sure most of us don’t need much convincing to head to the Caribbean. Picture yourself on the talcum-powder soft sand surrounded by calm, crystalline waters, enjoying live reggae with rum cocktail in one hand and a half-naked woman in the other. Beautiful enough to distract a pirate from his doubloons!

A macaron for the soul, Paris equals romance

Ladies of the night, cabaret and cancan frenzies of black stockings, lacy knickers and thigh-high kicks dominated the city during the Belle Epoque (my favourite historical era!). Sex was a commerce, an escape, and a way of life. Over a century later, the city of love still has a few tricks left up its sleeve (as long as we don’t spend all day eating baguettes by the Tower!). 

Feel the magic of the 1001 nights in Marrakech

Think balloon flights with champagne breakfasts, private treks through the Atlas mountains and luxury camps in the deserts and dunes. Not to mention all the belly dancing I’ll be inspired to perform for you. 

The freedom to express yourself sexually makes Amsterdam one of my favourite cities

An insane amount of sex shops, sex museums, sex theatres, and other special places where you can stimulate all of your senses! Is there any other place in this world with a greater sense of sexual liberation?

Embrace the slow life in the Swiss Riviera – Europe’s best kept secret

I lived in Montreux as a teenager while attending a language boarding school and I’ve been dreaming of going back ever since! The lake, the mountains, the vineyards and villages have forever stolen my heart. 

Live the Rajah dream in Udaipur

You know a city is sexy if it was prominently featured in a James Bond movie (especially if that movie was one with a name like “Octopussy”). I’ve heard that sunsets in Udaipur need to be seen to be believed. Have you ever stayed in a floating like a huge spectral white marble palace in the middle of a lake? Legend has it, Prince Maharana built it as a royal “pleasure palace” for hosting his dalliances with beautiful young women. Along with the luxury trappings, how about learning the most exotic of sports, camel polo?

Chateaux & wine tasting in Bordeaux

According to French microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur, wine is ‘the most healthful and most hygienic of beverages’. That basically makes a trip to the homeland of French wine a doctor-approved choice 😉

Get seduced by La Serenissima

For Casanova, the greatest lover the world has ever known, there was no greater seducer than Venice herself (and he definitely knew a thing or two about attraction and the heady power of seduction!). Let’s catch the pageantry of Carnevale and vent our passions and animal instincts.

It might just be my unhealthy obsession with Game of Thrones

…but I am quite infatuated with Dubrovnik. The ‘King’s Landing’ has it all. Stunning architecture, crystal waters, waterfalls and one of the most vibrant summer festival in the Mediterranean.

I have always been drawn to Bali for its otherworldly spiritual magnetism

What do you mean you’ve never been handcuffed to a bed in a Balinese pool villa with a bamboo ceiling, lava-rock roof and relaxation cabana overlooking the Indian ocean? We need to change that!

Dubai goes to such extremes, we may need a safe word to navigate its spaces

Let’s take passion to new heights by staying in the world’s tallest hotel. It’s not quite the mile-high club, but it’s a lot more luxurious than a dingy plane bathroom. Not that size matters 😉 Also necessary: overnight desert glamping with resident Emirati astronomy guide (an orgasm for any astrophile!). A trip back to the hotel won’t be complete without a quick pit stop for karak chai. Karak chai scenario will involve us standing outside surrounded by honking 4WDs and impatient people waiting in their cars for a ‘chaiwala’ to bring their order out. It doesn’t get any more old-school UAE than that! 

Immerse in the isolated beauty of Big Sur

Imagine an enchanting coastal drive down historic Highway 1 in a vintage car, my hair blowing out of the window. What are your thoughts on going naked in public? From 1-3 am, the Esalen Institute opens its doors to its clothing-optional natural hot springs that are perched high on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Lighted only by moonlight, night bathing here is quite an experience, even for non-exhibionists!

The birthplace of Tango (& the hand of God)

The fusion of Euro and Latin influences of Buenos Aires mean we can go to the opera and then drink sangria and dance in the streets until dawn.

Seychelles

With numerous deserted beaches on the islands, there is a good chance of checking the “sex on the beach” box on travel bucket. If we make it there, let’s hit up the popular club “Lovenut.” I have a feeling the name is a foreshadow to how our evening may end 😉
