About
As a military veteran and proud mom of three, I embark on thrilling adventures to explore diverse cultures, savor exquisite cuisine, and marvel at breathtaking views, sharing my passion for travel with the world.
Travel style
When traveling abroad my hotel must be four stars or better! My preferred style seamlessly combines luxury and relaxation with a passion for exploration. While many might attribute my journeys to a love for food, as a true foodie, I take delight in savoring regional cuisines that define each place I visit. For instance, having developed a fondness for sticky toffee pudding during my time in Bahrain, I made it a mission to sample the dessert in every London restaurant I visited last year – each rendition surprising me with its unique twist. Despite my penchant for culinary delights, I maintain a light itinerary, allowing ample time for immersive exploration. While I relish discovering hidden local gems, I also make it a point to visit well-known landmarks. In cities like London and Paris, I found the convenience of hop-on-hop-off buses invaluable, efficiently covering historic sites in a day or two. Castles and historic wonders hold a special place in my heart, and I often find myself captivated by the rich stories they tell. Whether spontaneously exploring or booking curated excursions, my travel philosophy revolves around creating a harmonious blend of luxury, relaxation, and cultural discovery.
It is truly a blessing to see all the beauty and wonders that God has created of this world. It is my goal to see as much of earth's beauty and make memories...that is my legacy. Eat, Pray, Love, and Live is my mantra.
