Viking Star Ocean Cruise
My ocean cruise aboard the Viking Sky was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we set sail, the luxurious accommodations, exquisite dining, and exceptional service made every moment feel like a dream. The attention to detail and personalized care from the crew ensured that I felt pampered and relaxed throughout the journey.

P&O Cruise
Our family cruises with P&O and Disney Cruise Line were truly magical experiences! On P&O, we enjoyed a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. The family-friendly activities kept our kids entertained from morning to night, while the variety of dining options made sure everyone’s tastes were catered to. The spacious cabins and warm, welcoming staff made the experience feel comfortable and stress-free, giving us all the chance to unwind and create lasting memories together.

My stay at QT on the Gold Coast was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I arrived, the vibrant, stylish atmosphere set the perfect tone for a relaxing getaway. The breakfast buffet was a standout – with an impressive array of delicious options, from freshly baked pastries to made-to-order eggs, it was the ideal way to start each day.

The on-site restaurants provided a relaxed yet upscale dining experience, and the food was always fresh and flavorful.

The poolside vibes were equally amazing. The pool area had a lively yet chilled-out feel, with the perfect mix of sunshine, refreshing drinks, and good music. Cocktails by the pool were a highlight – expertly made and so refreshing in the gorgeous Gold Coast weather.
The spa treatments were heavenly, offering a serene escape that allowed me to completely relax and recharge. The service was impeccable, and the treatments were tailored to my needs, making it the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring.

My travel passions
Traveling for me is an exploration of destinations through their authentic flavors and experiences. Food is the heart of every journey, and I seek to immerse myself in the local culture by discovering the unique tastes that each city, town, and village has to offer. From wandering through bustling food markets, where the scents of exotic spices fill the air, to seeking out hidden gem spice stores filled with rare ingredients, every destination reveals a new layer of its identity through its cuisine. I’m particularly drawn to markets that offer not only food but a sense of community and tradition, where local vendors share stories of their heritage with each bite.
In addition to my love for food, I'm a passionate follower of renowned chefs from around the world. Whether it's attending an intimate cooking class or enjoying a gourmet meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant, I’m always eager to learn and savor the artistry of culinary masters. I also have a deep appreciation for wine and gin tastings, whether it’s savoring a glass of local wine at a vineyard or discovering the complex flavors of craft gin at a distillery. These tastings allow me to connect with the region's history, terroir, and culture in a deeply personal way.
Beyond the culinary scene, I find myself drawn to the energy of rooftop bars and infinity pools that offer not only relaxation but breathtaking views of the cityscape. There's something magical about sipping a carefully crafted cocktail as the sun sets, watching the city lights flicker to life below. Whether perched high above a cosmopolitan skyline or nestled in a tropical paradise, these spaces are where I go to unwind and soak in the beauty of the moment.
My travel passion revolves around creating unforgettable memories and truly taking the plunge. Life is short, and time is something you can never get back, so I believe in fully embracing every moment, especially when it comes to travel. If you’ve ever dreamed of that perfect week in Paris—immersing yourself in the world of high fashion, exploring world-class art museums, or indulging in the finest Michelin-starred restaurants—don’t wait! Make it happen. The memories you create are worth more than any momentary hesitation or fear of stepping outside your comfort zone.
For me, travel isn’t just about ticking off a list of landmarks or checking boxes on a map. It's about diving into the experience with all your senses. It’s about embracing the magic of a city, whether it's sipping espresso at a café in the heart of Paris or watching the sun dip below the skyline from a rooftop bar in a far-off metropolis. Every trip is a chance to invest in yourself, to indulge in the luxury of the present, and to discover new perspectives, flavors, and ways of living. If there’s a destination that excites you, go for it—take that leap, whether it’s for a week of indulgence or a month of adventure.
When you take the plunge into your travel dreams, you open up a world of possibilities, each one adding a layer of richness to your life. And those memories—those once-in-a-lifetime moments—are what stay with you, long after you’ve returned home.
Over the years, I’ve explored many aspects of ocean cruising and luxury yacht experiences, each journey offering its own unique sense of indulgence and adventure. From serene ocean liners to sleek, high-end yachts, I’ve navigated the seas in style, with a deep appreciation for the exquisite comfort and bespoke service that these cruises offer. One of the most memorable highlights was my voyage in January 2024 aboard the Viking Ocean Cruises, an adults-only, high-end cruise line that combines unparalleled luxury with enriching cultural experiences. The ambiance aboard the Viking ships was simply stunning—an oasis of calm, sophistication, and elegance. With incredible attention to detail in both design and service, this trip offered an intimate, immersive experience that focused on both relaxation and discovery. It was a retreat that allowed me to unwind while enjoying world-class cuisine, exquisite excursions, and the soothing rhythm of the ocean.
In stark contrast to the serenity of Viking, I also had the joyful experience of embarking on a Disney Cruise with my children. These fun-filled days were all about creating magical moments with our favorite Disney characters, from meeting beloved princesses to sailing alongside pirates. The Disney Cruise was a whirlwind of family-friendly activities, themed dining experiences, and endless entertainment—each day was a new adventure, ensuring that both the kids and I had the time of our lives. The excitement and joy on their faces as they met their heroes made for memories that will last a lifetime.
Another unforgettable chapter in my cruising journey was being part of one of the final P&O Cruises out of Auckland. The ship's departure was emotional, as it marked the end of an era for this iconic cruise line in New Zealand. The experience felt like a special tribute to the beauty of the South Pacific, combining the nostalgia of a classic cruise with the thrill of exploring stunning destinations. Being aboard one of the last sailings out of Auckland added an extra layer of significance to the trip, and the beautiful moments shared with fellow travelers made it all the more memorable.
Whether it’s the elegance of an adult-only luxury cruise, the joy of family time with Disney, or the sentimental farewell on P&O, cruising has always offered me the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and connection—both with loved ones and the world around me.
Travel with an open heart and an open mind. Embrace the unknown, try new things, and be flexible with your plans. Sometimes the best experiences come from unexpected moments—whether it's discovering a hidden café, making friends with locals, or finding a new passion through a spontaneous adventure. Don’t just visit a place—immerse yourself in it. Be curious, try the local food, engage with people, and step outside your comfort zone. The more open you are to the world, the more it will surprise and inspire you.
And perhaps most importantly: Don’t rush. While it’s tempting to check off a long list of sights and attractions, the true magic of travel often happens when you slow down and simply enjoy being present in the moment.
This mindset can turn any trip, whether it’s a short weekend getaway or an extended vacation, into a richer, more rewarding experience.

The surrounding waters are teeming with marine life, making it one of the best snorkeling destinations in the world. The coral reefs are vibrant, crystal clear, and home to an incredible array of colorful fish, turtles, and other marine creatures. It felt like swimming through an untouched underwater world, and I could spend hours exploring.
