My Favorite Destinations:
It’s hard to choose just one favorite destination, but my trip to Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales was truly unforgettable. Each country has its own unique charm, from stunning landscapes to rich history and incredible culture.
* Ireland enchanted me with its breathtaking scenery and warm hospitality. I loved hearing about the legend of the Leprechauns guarding pots of gold at the end of the rainbow and the mythical Banshee, whose wail is said to foretell the future.
* Scotland felt like stepping into a fairytale, with its misty Highlands and ancient castles. Of course, I had to visit Loch Ness, home to the legendary Nessie, the elusive monster that keeps the world guessing!
* England was a mix of iconic landmarks and folklore, from tales of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table to the spooky legends of the Tower of London, where ghosts are said to wander the halls.
* Wales was a land of castles and myths, where I learned about the Red Dragon, the national symbol, and the legend of Gelert, the faithful dog whose story tugs at the heartstrings.
The mix of history, beauty, and enchanting folklore in each place made for an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to return!
Favorite Travel Memory:
I'll never forget the first time I took my daughter to Disney—she was 10 years old and absolutely adored Mulan. When she finally met her hero in person, it was pure magic. She was so overwhelmed with joy that she cried and didn’t want to leave. Even now, at 23, she still talks about that unforgettable moment. It’s incredible how Disney creates memories that last a lifetime!
Dream Vacation:
My dream vacation? It’s hard to choose just one! Paris for its romantic charm and breathtaking landmarks, Japan for the culture, food, and cherry blossoms, and Hawaii for the stunning beaches and island vibes. Each place offers something magical, and I’d love to experience them all.
My Disney Travel Advice:
Arrive before park opening. Getting to the parks early gives you a head start on the crowds, letting you experience popular attractions with shorter wait times. This is especially important for rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance or Avatar Flight of Passage, which can have long lines later in the day. Plus, the mornings at Disney parks are often less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience!
My Favorite Travel Tip
Always keep a flexible mindset. No matter the type of trip, things don’t always go as planned—whether it's weather changes, ride closures, or unexpected delays. Embrace the spontaneity and enjoy the experience as it unfolds. Staying flexible allows you to make the most of every situation and helps you avoid stress, making your trip more enjoyable overall.
