We traveled to Portugal for its energy. For the hills that make your legs burn, the viewpoints that make you stop mid-sentence, and a city that keeps pulling you forward instead of letting you sit still.
Portugal felt alive—full of walking, climbing, getting lost, eating well, laughing a lot, and constantly saying “one more stop.” It’s the kind of place where every day turns into a mix of plans, detours, and happy accidents.
Paris definitely felt nevitable. A city we had all imagined for years but never properly experienced. Art, food, long walks, and that quiet promise of getting lost in a place where every street feels familiar even on your first visit.
This trip wasn’t about slowing down or doing Paris “the right way.” It was about seeing as much as we could, walking until our legs gave up, sharing croissants on random corners, and letting the city overwhelm us—in the best possible way.
Paris felt like the perfect place for that kind of chaos.
We chose this trip because, even though we’re Turkish, we had never explored Istanbul properly — not this deeply, not this widely, and definitely not at this speed. Istanbul is a city so big, so multicultural, and so full of history that it feels like its own country, and we wanted to finally experience it through the eyes of curious travelers rather than locals passing through.
It was also the perfect chance for a girls’ trip, full of long walks, nonstop exploring, hidden corners, museums, parks, seaside neighborhoods, and all the chaotic beauty that makes Istanbul unforgettable.
I traveled to Turkey for something deeper than just sightseeing — I went to reconnect. Months earlier, during an Erasmus program in Bansko, I met a wonderful group of Turkish friends who instantly made me feel welcome, understood, and supported. Our connection was effortless, and when they invited me to visit them in Ankara, I knew I had to go.
I traveled to Turkey because I wanted to experience their culture through their eyes — the food they love, the places they cherish, the everyday life they wanted to share with me. It wasn’t about checking tourist attractions off a list; it was about friendship, hospitality, and seeing a country in the most authentic way possible.
I also wanted a change of scenery — a burst of color, warmth, and adventure after months of routine. Turkey offered all of that. From the vibrant bazaars and beautiful parks to the spontaneous nights filled with music and laughter, I found myself absorbing every moment.
Most of all, I traveled to Turkey because I knew it would be meaningful. And it was. It turned into a trip filled with unforgettable memories, delicious food, heartfelt conversations, and the kind of cultural richness that stays with you long after you return home.
The 2025 Healthcare Professionals Cruise to Cozumel wasn’t just a “nice vacation”—it was a necessary reset. Our nurses, doctors, techs, therapists, and caregivers have been carrying heavy emotional, mental, and physical loads for years. This cruise gave them permission to step away from the alarms, the charting, the double shifts, and the “Can you just...?” texts, and step into rest, ocean air, and joy. Between turquoise water, unbothered naps, good food, and grown-folks laughter, they had space to breathe, reconnect with themselves, and remember they’re more than their badge.
With a strong interest in maritime history, I recently saw that Cherish Tours was offering its Blissful Panama trip. The itinerary included a diverse blend of cultural experiences plus some down time at an ecolodge all while supporting Cherish’s mission of empowering female owned or managed businesses. It was travel with a purpose at its finest!
I transformed a business trip in to a soul retreat at one of the best spas in the world, Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.
I previously traveled with Cherish Tours to Tanzania and was so impressed with that experience, that I knew it was only a matter of time until my next trip with them. The Moab itinerary was a blend of adventure and cozy comforts. I really wanted some “down time” on this trip, and the thought of disconnecting from the world for a while through a glamping experience was intriguing. Also, I really like the idea of traveling with a group of women supporting fellow women owned businesses. It is travel with a purpose for which I am passionate.

We chose Breckenridge for my bachelorette party because it was the perfect blend of convenience and charm. Being just a short drive from the Denver metro area, it made for an easy commute for everyone in my bridal party. Breckenridge offers so much to do, from great dining options to fun activities, making it an ideal spot to celebrate. We also found an amazing VRBO that was spacious and perfect for hosting our group—it really added to the experience and made the weekend unforgettable!
