About Adele

About Adele

Hello! I'm Adèle. I'm an all-purpose writer living in the Maldives. I'm insatiably curious, blunt and somewhat over-sensitive. I tend to write about travel, people, the ocean and (increasingly) Maldivian culture and folklore. My pieces are generally narrative in style so there'll be no micro-blogging here. You can read more about the purpose of this journal in the About section above.
