Behind the blog

How it all started

My journey in the travel industry has been diverse and dynamic. I am armed with a BA (Hons) in European Tourism and an MA in Airline and Airport Management. Before my current role, I worked operationally and at the management level for Tour Operators, Airlines, and Corporate Travel Agencies. I even oversaw pilot training degrees. Each step has been a chapter, contributing to the tapestry of my expertise.

Travel has been my compass since childhood. From the early days of meticulously planning family trips, I discovered a profound love for exploring the world. It’s more than a hobby; it’s a passion that has been woven into the very fabric of my being. With five continents already stamped on my passport, only two more are left to conquer. The map below reveals the footprints of my adventures. It’s a visual journey of where I’ve been, each destination a unique tale waiting to be shared.

Bermuda is among my top choices for its delectable Goslings Rum, stunning beaches, delicious food, and warm-hearted people. Spain holds a special place in my heart, especially since it was a frequent destination during my childhood. Madrid, in particular, stands out with its vibrant local markets and lively atmosphere. Lastly, Singapore captivates me with its futuristic cityscape, rich cultural heritage, and diverse culinary scene.

My go-to airline is British Airways. I’ve been flying with them since university. I particularly love their BA Holidays section. I use it for most of my trips. Another favourite is Qantas. I appreciate their spirit and hospitality. It’s the one organisation I wish I could have worked for. Additionally, I have a special connection with Finnair. I was fortunate to be interviewed for their inflight magazine during the launch of their A350. I had the unique experience of being on the inaugural flight from Heathrow to Helsinki.

I started blogging in 2010 and enjoyed sharing my travel experiences and lifestyle tips. But after a few years, I took a break from blogging. At that time, I felt uninspired. I needed to prioritise my work commitments. This left little room for maintaining the blog. Recently, I’ve achieved a much better work/life balance, allowing me to rediscover my passion for blogging. I’m excited to engage with my readers again. I will share new content that reflects my renewed enthusiasm for travel and lifestyle topics.
