Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel. 

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing.  This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces  & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

travel.

You can now use your Airbnb account to book a place to stay on the beautiful island of Cuba. I'd jump on this ASAP! 

food.

YAY! Habana Outpost officially comes out of hibernation tomorrow, April 18th, just in time for Earth Day. Check out their awesome lineup of events and don't forget to stop by for some of their amazing corn.

home.

This week I have been incredibly inspired by the colors of the Caribbean, and was lucky enough to come across the absolutely stunning home of Carlos Mota in my motherland, the Dominican Republic. Enjoy!  

cool.

Gisele took her final walk down the runway yesterday. Watch the amazingness here

Check out this beautiful display of the endangered animals around the world. It's awesome.
