Our @tbaescapes Maldives trip is back for its third year — April 10–17, 2027! 🐠🌴
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
There aren’t many trips I’d happily do over and over again, but this is definitely one of them.
We spend seven nights on our own private yacht with an incredible group of women, diving and snorkeling some of the most beautiful reefs in the Maldives, eating way too much good food, doing yoga, getting massages and basically living on (and in) the water for a week.
And you do NOT have to be a scuba diver to join us!
That’s one of my favorite things about this trip. You can pick whichever package sounds most like your ideal week:
🤿 Scuba: 12 dives + 2 spa treatments
🤿💆♀️ Scuba + Spa: 6 dives + 4 spa treatments
💆♀️ Spa: 8 spa treatments + no diving
Want more of either? You can add extra dives or spa treatments during the trip too.

Turns out you can fit a lot of life into one year. 🤍

Moving abroad with a four-year-old while running multiple businesses from the road has been equal parts incredible, chaotic, exhausting and unforgettable.
For the past six months, my AMD Ryzen AI-powered laptop has come along for all of it… from Cape Town to Europe and everywhere in between.
It’s lightweight enough to travel with me, powerful enough to keep up with my million open tabs, and the battery life has genuinely exceeded my expectations.
There are definitely easier ways to live 😂 But I wouldn’t trade this adventure for anything.
Here’s to building a life that makes sense to you!

No trending audio could ever compete with this.
Just me and my little guy wandering around Lake Trübsee, surrounded by the happiest cows making their little mountain music.
Sound on for this one! 🤍

Could I pack lighter? Yes.
Will I? The evidence suggests otherwise. 😮💨
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Overpacking is genuinely one of my biggest travel shortcomings.
I simply cannot travel anywhere with a carry-on only. Weekend getaway? Beach vacation? Summer in Europe?
Doesn’t matter where or for how long… I will absolutely be arriving with 1–2 checked bags and *so many* regrets as I drag them across cobblestone streets.
I love travel style so much that my wardrobe is essentially costumes. I have the perfect outfit for a small fishing village in the south of France but “nothing to wear” at home.
Beach Kiki, boat Kiki, Paris Kiki, Cotswolds Liki, hiking Kiki, fancy dinner Kiki… they’re all coming and they each packed separately.
