March 2025

Hi Reader!

I was recently interviewed by Voyage Tampa, a platform that fosters collaboration and support for small businesses, independent artists, and entrepreneurs in my local area. I was excited to learn that I was featured in the Hidden Gems section of the platform. You can read it here!

As you've heard, I took my first Virgin Voyages cruise in late January. I recently published a video on YouTube of the highlights I experienced. I hope to post more reviews and highlights of my travels as they happen!

Wishing everyone a wonderful March 😊


Jasper, Canada


If you’re craving wild beauty and big mountain vibes, Jasper is calling you!

Tucked away in the Canadian Rockies, it’s like Banff’s more laid-back sibling—still stunning, just less crowded and way more chill. Think turquoise lakes, epic hikes, moose sightings, and star-filled skies (it’s actually one of the best dark sky preserves in the world).

But beyond the views, Jasper is the kind of place that makes you breathe deeper, slow down, and remember how good nature feels. As a member of the Virtuoso Adventure community, I know that Jasper is full of experiences that will make you feel alive.

And right now, visiting matters more than ever. After recent wildfires, the town and local businesses could really use some love. Tourism plays a big role in helping the community bounce back—and the good news is, nature’s already starting to heal. So if you’ve been dreaming of a trip that’s both breathtaking and meaningful, Jasper’s your spot.

Trusty Travel Tip

Change your meal times to avoid crowds: Eating at off-peak hours, such as having lunch at 11 AM or dinner after 8 PM, can help you avoid long waits and crowded restaurants. This gives you a more relaxed dining experience, and hopefully you’ll even get better service!
