Postcards from France
I am seriously in love with France, be it the Glitz of Paris, The charming villages of Rural France, be it Provence, Burgundy, coastal or inland I just can't seem too every have enough time here.
Boston Trip June 2023
I absolutely loved exploring Boston on a bike with Urban Adventures. The city view bike tour takes you through six different neighbourhoods and you cycle past countless historical and cultural sites throughout the city.
Postcards from Singapore
Busy and unique - the city state of Singapore is worth more than a quick stopover. Check out the Gardens by the Bay during the day and at night for the light show, visit Chinatown and be brave - try the durian, it's not as bad as you think!
Hawai`i June 2023
I flew with Hawaiian Airlines in an Extra Comfort seat which I would recommend paying a bit more to do so.

Stuck in New Zealand for a few years so we took the opportunity to discover our beautiful South Island over two trips totaling around 6 weeks in winter of 2021 and 2022.

AFRICA was a life long dream to experience real wilderness, and when we finally got there it exceeded everything I could have imagined.

Cruising on the Danube River has been the ultimate experience ! This has to be on everybody's bucket list.
Postcard from Seven Seas Explorer
Regent Seven Seas is all-inclusive and when they say all-inclusive the mean all-inclusive. We spent 6 nights on the ship and had a $0 bill at the end of the trip. It includes all restaurants on the ship, your drinks around the ship and in your minibar, shore excursions and laundry.
Postcard from Cabo San Lucas
Cabo San Lucas offers remarkable resorts and a vibrant atmosphere near the marina. It is an excellent destination for game fishing and various watersports.
Postcard from San Diego
Just a few hours' drive south from the lively atmosphere of LA, you'll
find San Diego, known for its vibrant nightlife and shopping scene.
Postcard from South Africa
Oh wow, South Africa! As a first-time visitor, it truly exceeded all my expectations. I had the incredible fortune of exploring Kruger Park from a private conservancy, where we were able to venture off the beaten path in our jeeps. It was such a privilege to witness an animal sighting with only one other vehicle there. There's nothing quite like watching majestic lions feasting or a playful baby elephant mimicking the adults, complete with those adorable flapping ears and an excitedly lifting trunk! |
Postcard from Vietnam
I just love Asia, but a country that has surprised me and I just want to see more, is Vietnam. Vietnam has so much to offer , for any traveller. From the most amazing people, the food, shopping, fascinating history, pristine beautiful beaches, nightlife and more.
Postcard from Celebrity Edge
The Celebrity Edge is indeed a stunning ship, and the Magic Carpet is such a unique feature. It's not just a functional element for tender operations; it's almost like a floating lounge, offering great views and a sense of excitement as it moves up and down the side of the ship.
