Favorite Trips
I’d always been fascinated by the ancient Mayan culture, so visiting the iconic ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea was at the top of my list. I also wanted to unwind on Tulum’s beautiful beaches and explore its magical cenotes hidden in the jungle. It was the ideal destination to connect with nature, dive into a rich cultural past, and enjoy the tropical sunshine.
I chose Copenhagen for a quick 3-day escape because it’s the perfect blend of cozy Scandinavian charm and easy walkability. I’d always heard about its colorful streets, relaxed atmosphere, and bike-first lifestyle, and I wanted a destination where I could slow down, explore beautiful neighborhoods on foot, and enjoy great food without rushing. Copenhagen felt like the ideal city for a short but refreshing adventure—and it absolutely delivered.
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.
