This weeks photo from the archive comes from Baa Atoll in the Maldives.

I was in Baa Atoll for a 36-hour visit to Six Senses Soneva Fushi Resort, for Bangkok Airways Fah Thai Magazine. Six Senses are one of the first resort companies in the Maldives to offer guests a luxury sea plane service with their provider, Maldivian Air Taxi. After I disembarked from the sea plane in this photo, myself and the other resort guests’ were transferred to a dhoni for the short 7-minute ride to the resort.

This photo really sums up sea plane travel in the Maldives. Beautiful turquoise waters, lots of open ocean space and a small floating dock for passengers. When I look at this image now, I just think ‘so Maldives’.

These photos reminded me of how much time I spent traveling last year. Seven months to be exact. That is a lot of flying and a lot of airports.

Airports are about two things for me: queuing and waiting. Really, that is what air travel is about. Oh, and delayed flights, missed connections and always feeling dehydrated no matter how much water you drink while in transit.

Don’t get me wrong – it is a privilege to travel and it is something I enjoy. There is nothing quite like leaving the familiarity of where you live and landing in new country, where everything is just so new and different.
