  • I love the sense of discovery when I travel to
    2 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf I love the sense of discovery when I travel to a new destination. I always meet wonderful people and take away only wonderful memories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My recent trip to Puerto Rico was no exception, the people and breathtaking landscapes touched my heart. I cannot wait to go back.  @discoverpuertorico   #discoverpuertorico   #puertorico   #travel   #latergram   #hiking   #travelphotography   @teraj08 
  • Puerto Rico is as beautiful as I imagined! Before going
    2 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf Puerto Rico is as beautiful as I imagined! Before going, I wasn’t sure if they fully recovered from the hurricane but clearly they have and our trip was so much fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ We spent most of our time in the western part of the island where there are cute beaches and boutique hotels. It was a much needed break from the craziness of nyc. The best views, in my opinion, are at Rojo Cabo...complete with sweeping ocean views, a cute lighthouse and a pristine beach (totally all picture and social media worthy btw ).  @discoverpuertorico   #discoverpuertorico   #puertorico 
  • You all know my passion is travel and I love
    3 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf You all know my passion is travel... and I love doing it in style! What better way to combine travel and fashion than to have coordinated luggage and swimwear. It is the perfect way to accessorize your summer vacation plans! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀  @roamluggage  and  @parkeandronen  produced a colour coordinated swimwear collection. I love that, with Roam, you can embrace the rainbow and select your own unique colour combinations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Side bar, this was honestly my first time wearing Parke and Ronen and omg it is super comfortable and it looks great. I love that they
  • I cant believe when I first moved to NYC Hudson
    4 weeks ago by asianmapleleaf I can’t believe when I first moved to NYC, Hudson Yards was nothing more than train tracks and where the highline ended. Now, it is a new fancy futuristic neighborhood that will be home to over a dozen of new high rise buildings. In the center is the “vessel” structure with 154 interconnecting flights of stairs. If you can make it to the top, you are treated to amazing views of the river and surrounding area. It was really cool and reminds me of why NYC is such a great city!  #latergram   #newyork   #nyc   #hudsonyards   #hellohudsonyards   #outtraveler   @teraj08 
  • I think by now you all know I love to
    1 month ago by asianmapleleaf I think by now you all know I love to pamper myself once in a while. Spa days are the best days! What’s better than pampering yourself? Pampering moments with your loved ones! This weekend  @teraj08  and I took a spa day for ourselves with the Garnier Moisture Bomb sheet mask. They have such a huge selection but we went with soothing chamomile, and it was super hydrating, perfect after such a harsh dry winter! All it took was 15 mins have re-plumped glowing skin. What do you do to pamper yourself?!  #MoistureBomb   #sheetmasklife   #Masktogetherstaytogether   #sponsored   @garniercan   #rooftop   #spalife   @ron .emerson2
  • We clean up pretty well if I say so myself
    1 month ago by asianmapleleaf We clean up pretty well if I say so myself lol. I am not one to dress up (gasp I know) except for special occasions, like a friend’s wedding. Do you like to dress up or stay casual?  #latergram   #gaycouple   #bf   #intergaycial   #blasiancouple
