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

The doors of Burano, Venice in Italy

The doors of Burano, Venice in Italy

I'm in need of some brightness and a happy place today (AKA Italy!), so thought I would share some of my favorite photos of the colorful doors on the island of Burano, Venice in Italy. We went on a cloudy day, and were worried we wouldn't get the full effect of this lively place. When we arrived I was so happy to see how vibrant the colors were regardless of the cloudy day! This island is full of the most vivacious color combinations, beautiful flower arrangements, and a vibrant local community. Have you ever taken the vaporetto to this Venetician island?
