Thailand
There’s just something magical about Thailand that keeps pulling me back. From the white-sand beaches of Koh Samui to the peaceful temples of Chiang Mai, every corner of the country offers something unforgettable.
The street food is next-level – and ridiculously affordable. Whether it’s a bowl of noodles on a Bangkok street corner or fresh mango sticky rice at a night market!
The people are some of the kindest I’ve met – always smiling, always welcoming. There's a calm, joyful energy in Thailand that makes me feel instantly at home, whether I’m riding a tuk-tuk through city chaos or soaking up the quiet on a hidden island beach.
Thailand is a place where I can relax, explore, connect, and just be me! And that’s why it’ll always have my heart. ❤️

South Africa
We spent 4 weeks road-tripping around South Africa for our honeymoon and honestly... it was magic. From Cape Town’s beaches and mountains to sipping wine in Stellenbosch, driving the Garden Route, and spotting lions in Kruger — every single day felt like a dream.
We did it all ourselves, just us, a car, and the open road. That freedom made it even more special — stopping when we wanted, chasing sunsets, meeting amazing people, and getting totally blown away by the scenery.
Wildlife, wine, epic coastlines, starry nights, and the kindest locals — South Africa gave us memories we’ll talk about forever. Couldn’t have picked a better place to kick off married life.

Canada West Coast
Exploring the west coast of Canada was one of those trips that stays with you — mountains, ocean, forests, and wide open skies that make you feel both peaceful and completely alive.
We road-tripped through Vancouver, Whistler, and Vancouver Island, soaking in the wild beauty and laid-back vibes — then topped it all off with something seriously bucket list: the Rocky Mountaineer.
That train ride through the Rockies? Absolutely unreal. Giant glaciers, turquoise rivers, and wildlife right outside the window — all while sipping wine and being treated like royalty.
Canada’s west coast gave us a little bit of everything: whale watching, mountain trails, cosy cafés, endless trees, and that once-in-a-lifetime train ride straight through the heart of the wild. Already dreaming of going back.
