A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
BEST TRAVEL TIP
Noise-cancelling headphones have been an absolute game-changer for long flights. Blocking out the constant hum of the plane makes it so much more enjoyable to watch movies or listen to music — but more importantly, it helps you arrive feeling more rested and less overstimulated. A small investment that makes a big difference in how you experience travel.
FAVORITE BOOK
The Alchemist – Paulo Coelho

DREAM BUCKET LIST TRIP
There are so many places I still dream of exploring, but my top three for now are: visiting the ancient pyramids and temples of Egypt, immersing myself in the heart of the Amazon jungle, and going on a wildlife safari through South Africa, Kenya, or Botswana.
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED
One of the most meaningful gifts I’ve ever received was a surprise trip from my husband to Angola to meet part of his family and spend Christmas and New Year’s together. It was my first time there, which made the experience even more special. We went on safari, shared unforgettable moments with his loved ones, and took a breathtaking trip to a remote waterfall — where we were the only tourists and witnessed a stunning rainbow through the mist.
MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP I EVER PLANNED
My honeymoon to Australia in 2022 holds a special place in my heart. My husband and I first met while living there, so returning together felt deeply meaningful. We spent six unforgettable weeks revisiting familiar places, reconnecting with friends, and exploring new corners of the country. Highlights included a secluded wellness retreat tucked away in the rainforests of Queensland, the awe-inspiring landscapes of Uluru, and the quiet magic of Tasmania — where we spotted wombats wandering in the wild. It was the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation and romance.
THE PERSON I LOOK UP TO MOST
People who have the courage to follow their own path, even when it goes against the grain. Those who stay true to themselves, trust their intuition, and, in doing so, create a positive impact in their own unique way.
