Travel on the Mind
Locations, Spaces, Places and Inspiration
Discovery influences the mind, soul, and the ability to see another angle. Truth, solutions and the unexpected can appear. The vision for the next is an experience that inspires a new approach or an encounter that encourages one to see through another person’s eyes. Creatively there are many ways to travel, the physical, 3-Dimensional, and experiential. Here is a focus on physical locations and places to visit.
Been Here, Stayed Here, Explored Here, and Would Recommend
The Raleigh Hotel
Miami, Florida
The Raleigh is a famous hotel in South Beach known for its Art Deco influence and iconic swimming pool and featured in the movies Birdcage, Bad Boys, and Up Close and Personal. Due to hurricane damage from a storm in 2017, it’s under redevelopment, so unfortunately not currently available to visit. This redesign is one to watch for the reopening.
Saint Barthélemy
The Caribbean
The french speaking island is an experience that somebody could never forget. The turquoise color of the water, the jumper plane needed to arrive, the ferry ride to its exclusivity, the narrow hilly, and winding roads, the zippy motorbikes, and moke cars whip around the tangled streets, and it’s infused with the intimate villas, inns, and hotels. The harbor is filled with yachts, sailboats, and boutiques filled with artisan and exclusive resort products. The Eden Rock beach and the Christopher Hotel at sunset are not to be missed. St Barths is a place you don’t want to leave and dream of experiencing more than once.
Inspired by These, Interested in This, and Would Like to Visit Here
Mexico City, Mexico
Orchid House, a hundred-year-old mansion converted into a luxury boutique hotel, looks dreamy with all the touches of serenity that I love. My mind travels to all the beautiful things somebody could create, collaborating with an inspirational location and city. The hotel is in a residential area surrounded by trees, gardens, flowers, and of course, as the name suggests, Orchids. Mexico City is the largest city in Mexico, filled with historic culture, art, and people. Mexico is a location I love to travel to; more on that later.
Hotel Les Roches Rouges
YANNAUDIC
The seafront of the French Rivera in St Raphael, France; I stumbled across this location via an Instagram account. The inspiration for exploring this further was not this photo; it was another, a texture, a light, a typeface, and a color. Where one image can lead you and what transpires creatively is quite remarkable, and how it evolves into many forms is what is so unique about creation. Understandably, the after seeing the photo above, who wouldn’t want a chance to experience this location?
Very nice!
