Favorite Travel Memory
One of my favorite travel memories is experiencing the breathtaking beauty of a wildlife safari on New Zealand’s West Coast. We traveled to Muriwai Beach to witness thousands of gannets gathering at sunset. The scene was unforgettable. In that moment, it felt as if the world had opened up—nothing else mattered.

We explored Greece and Croatia, immersed ourselves in the history of Peru and Italy and experienced the cultures of Colombia and Spain.
