What do you love most about travelling?
Obviously, people travel around the world for different reasons, including trying unique cuisines and meeting new people, and for others, it’s just the urge to see different places from time to time. For me, traveling is more than just a fun adventure, and I love and appreciate the fact that when you tour places, you are also learning and having new perspectives on life. I also love traveling because it boosts confidence and independence. It allows us to venture into the unknown and grow from that.
What trip would you recommend that everyone takes at least once in their life?
An African Safari is the trip I would recommend to any traveler. An African safari is the most magical adventure one can have in a lifetime, as it not only allows for the big five (lions, rhinos, leopards, elephants, and buffalo) encounters but also gives travelers a chance to have an African cultural experience. One experience not to miss is the Wildebeest Migration, an epic journey that takes over 1.5 million wildebeest across the Maasai Mara plains, Kenya’s most famous safari destination to the Serengeti of Tanzania.
Bucket list vacation destination?
From the gorgeous whitewashed buildings to volcanic beaches to breathtaking sunsets, Santorini, Greece is stunning, which is why it's my bucket-list vacation destination. The rare natural beauty combined with the Cycladic architecture, history, and traditions, make it the one place I'd love to experience at least once.
