Favorite Destinations
I love visiting Europe as each country has its own distinctive features, culture, food, history and people. There are a multitude of things to do, see and experience. I love exploring places that are unique and off-the-beaten-track, meeting people, tasting local food and wine.
About my most memorable vacation
My most memorable vacation was in England where I met my English cousins for the first time. Traveling to the Lake District, we shared experiences, family history, laughter, meals and more. This heart-felt journey brought family ties closer and remains etched in my memory like no other trip.
