Which destinations are you looking forward to visiting? Why?

Japan has always been at the top of my travel list, and I’m beyond excited to finally experience it in November 2025! From the electric energy of Tokyo to the serene beauty of Kyoto, every part of the country offers something uniquely captivating. I can’t wait to immerse myself in the culture, exploring ancient temples, witnessing breathtaking foliage, and indulging in world-class sushi and ramen. The blend of tradition and innovation fascinates me, whether it’s in high-tech cities or centuries-old shrines.

I’m especially looking forward to experiencing Japanese hospitality, from staying in a ryokan to relaxing in an onsen. The vibrant streets of Shibuya, the historic charm of Nara, and the snow-covered landscapes of Hokkaido all call to me. And of course, I can’t wait to shop, wander through hidden alleyways, and soak in the incredible atmosphere. Japan is a dream destination, and I know this trip will be an unforgettable adventure!

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

My day in Gili Trawangan on a private snorkeling tour was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters and vibrant marine life, I set off on a boat, eager to explore the island’s underwater beauty. The tranquility of having a private experience made it even more special—just me, the ocean, and endless discoveries beneath the surface.

Our first stop was Turtle Point, where I swam alongside graceful sea turtles gliding effortlessly through the water. It was surreal to be so close to these gentle creatures, watching them move with such ease in their natural habitat. Next, we explored coral gardens teeming with tropical fish in every color imaginable—clownfish, parrotfish, and even shimmering schools of neon tetras. The water was so clear I could see every detail of the vibrant coral formations.

Between snorkeling spots, I lounged on the boat, enjoying fresh tropical fruit and the breathtaking views of Gili’s pristine coastline.
