Marrakesh magic in every detail.
Where zellige mosaics, hand-carved wood, and the soft glow of lanterns turn a simple space into something sacred. This is the kind of beauty that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.

In Meknes, standing before the sculpture of Morocco’s traditional waterman—once the giver of life in the bustling medina. Behind me, the ancient city walls stand tall, just as I do. Meanness may come and go, but like these walls and the waterman, I choose to endure with purpose, to serve with heart, and to never let bitterness carve lines in my soul.

Out of Africa? Not quite, but it has the same heartbeat.
This tucked-away retreat in Türkiye is made for slow mornings, barefoot kisses, and starlit whispers.
The kind of place where love lingers a little longer, and honeymoons never feel like they’re over.

A magical soak in a tub of petals…
This was a birthday to remember, celebrated in the quiet luxury of Rajvilas, Oberoi’s exquisite resort in Jaipur.
Travel, to me, is not just movement, it’s transformation.
It’s in the stillness, the scents, the unexpected moments that stay with you long after the journey ends.
And this one… has never left me.

Rishikesh from above…
Years ago, I stayed here—tucked into the Himalayas, at a serene retreat that has since become one of India’s top wellness centers. Even then, it was a sanctuary.

One of the best things? You’re just close enough to experience aarti in Rishikesh—the sacred Ganges river ceremony that stays with you long after the flames fade. The setting, the energy, the rhythm of the river…

Sun-kissed stones and stories untold… Croatia’s magic is in the details.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing some truly remarkable hotels. One that stands out is Amantaka in Luang Prabang, Laos. Housed in a French colonial building dating back to the early 20th century, this property was originally the old provincial hospital before its transformation into a serene retreat.

During my stay, I encountered a curious incident: finding myself unexpectedly locked in the bathroom. Was it a playful spirit from the building’s past or simply an old door playing tricks? Either way, it added an unforgettable twist to an already enchanting experience.

Plitvice Lakes, Croatia—a place so breathtaking, I made it my Zoom background. But nothing compares to seeing it in person. Ever been? If not, let’s make it happen! 🇭🇷

Wanderlust Wednesday: A Trek Through Bhutan & an Unexpected Friend 🐶

Some journeys leave a mark on your soul—this five-day trek through Bhutan was one of them. From lush valleys to misty mountain trails, each step felt like walking through a storybook. But the real highlight? This little dog who decided to join me along the way. 🐕💕

Some trips are planned, but the best moments? They happen when you least expect them.

With waters like these, you’d think you were in Bora Bora or Fiji, but no, this is Europe’s own hidden paradise. Who needs to fly across the world when the Adriatic delivers views like this?

Spending the day in Zagorje always feels like stepping into a storybook. My visit to Djalski Castle was a reminder of how deeply history and literature are woven into this region.

Once the home of Croatian writer and politician Ksaver Šandor Gjalski, the castle was a place of inspiration for his works, reflecting the traditions and way of life in Hrvatsko Zagorje. Today, it has been transformed into a boutique hotel and restaurant, where the charm of the past meets the warmth of hospitality.

A peaceful lunch in such a historic setting made for a truly special day.

It’s been over a decade since I explored Holloko, one of Hungary’s eight UNESCO-listed sites. Nestled in the countryside, this perfectly preserved Palac settlement felt like stepping into a different era, where the past isn’t just preserved but still part of everyday life. With its cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and deep-rooted traditions, it remains a rare glimpse into history that continues to thrive.

Mornings like this, where time slows, the air is crisp, and the world feels like a painting. A Bavarian lake, a perfect breakfast, and a view that speaks for itself.

Bavaria’s lakes are more than just landscapes; they are moments of serenity, history, and charm wrapped in alpine beauty. Here, tradition and nature blend effortlessly, offering an escape into a world where the only plan is to savor the present.

There’s something magical about the rolling hills of Darjeeling, where the mist lingers over endless tea plantations, and time seems to slow down. 🍃☕ Every visit is a reminder of the simple beauty in the rhythm of nature and tradition.

Sipping a perfectly brewed cup while overlooking these lush landscapes, this is India at its most peaceful.

💖 Valentine’s Day Reminder: 💖

Today is a reminder that love isn’t just about others—it’s about how we show up for ourselves. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our own journey, growth, and the strength that keeps us moving forward.

Here’s to all the different kinds of love: the love we give, the love we receive, and most importantly, the love we have for ourselves. 🌸

Arrival at Mamula Island Hotel Tucked away in the heart of the Bay of Kotor, Mamula Island Hotel adventure begins at a small dock, where a boat ferries you across the sparkling Adriatic to this secluded island. As you approach, the silhouette of a medieval fort emerges, a place steeped in centuries of history. Once a defensive fortress and later a WWII prison, Mamula has been transformed into a luxury hotel, opening just last year. Walking through the grand stone walls, you can feel the weight of its past, yet it’s been beautifully reimagined for modern travelers. The blend of ancient architecture and contemporary design is simply breathtaking. What makes Mamula truly special is its atmosphere. Being on its own private island, away from the world, offers total tranquility. The waves, the sea breeze, and the sense of isolation make it feel as though you’ve stepped into another era—yet with every modern luxury at your fingertips.
