In July 2023, I embarked on an unforgettable trip to Slovenia with a group of old friends, including Dom, Felix, Jon, Tim, and the maverick Andy. We started in Lake Bled, where we explored the beautiful landscape, rowed across the lake, and got caught up in a hilariously chaotic night out that escalated into an impromptu "Battle for Britain." After the madness, we sought a peaceful retreat in Piran, where we relaxed by the sea before heading to Ljubljana for our last night. The capital’s vibrant old town, lively cafes, and unexpected encounters made for a perfect conclusion to a trip filled with misadventures and laughter. Slovenia proved to be stunning, and despite the chaos, I’m already thinking about returning—once I’ve recovered from the emotional scars of the battle!

In June 2022, I returned to Palma de Mallorca for some much-needed relaxation. The island remains one of my favorite spots—gorgeous weather, fresh seafood, vibrant nightlife, and calm seas perfect for snorkeling. It’s my go-to for recuperation, and I’ve visited a couple of times over the years. But this year, my travels took a more meaningful turn with a trip to Costa Brava in September 2024. After a year of personal growth, including selling my business and realizing I was in love with my best friend Bex, we ventured to the Zel hotel retreat. The retreat was a mix of recuperation and celebration, complete with tennis matches, healthy food, and quality time together. Bex’s best friend, Paulina, had her birthday there, and I had the pleasure of connecting with her inspiring partner, Diego. The trip was full of beautiful moments, from exploring the mountains to partying late into the night, and it ended with a peaceful drive to Girona airport, feeling blissfully content and excited for more adventures with Bex.
