With over 25 years of unabashed travel addiction under my belt, I’ve traipsed through the landscapes of more than 40 countries across the globe. From the majestic wonders of Australia and New Zealand to the bustling markets of South Asia, Europe, Americas and the wildlife-rich plains of Kenya and South Africa, I’ve left footprints on all continents except Antarctica. Yes, penguins, I’ll get to you soon!

My journey isn’t just about ticking off countries; it’s a passionate exploration fueled by curiosity and a knack for sniffing out the best deals on flights, cruises and accommodations. I’ve mastered the art of balancing luxury with affordability—finding those opulent yet reasonably priced hotels and resorts that make you feel like royalty without maxing out your credit card.
