​Waldorf Astoria Orando, Florida
I love the suites at the Waldorf here in Orlando. The suites have a large living room and sit down breakfast bar with a gourmet coffee maker which is really a convenience in the morning. The bedroom is substantial and luxuriously decorated. I love the beds at the Waldorf and the soft duvets make for a great beauty sleep. The bathroom is extra large with two sinks. I had such a great experience at the Waldorf Astoria.



Jupiter Luxury Hotel Split, Croatia

I was very impressed from the first moment I walked into my room. I never expected such a modern, clean and warm feeling from a hotel in the middle of Ancient Old Town Split. I did not even want to leave the hotel room  my first day at the Jupiter, this hotel made my entire trip to Split worth it. This hotel left me with great memories of my trip to Split. I am definitely going back again.



Hotel Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC

Hotel Gansevoort is a great choice for the NYC night life. This hotel is located in the heart of the meatpacking district and located ideally for some of the best bars and restaurants. I love the modern contemporary suites at this hotel. The decor really represents the NYC lifestyle and fits perfectly with the crowd and vibe around the location.  I can never get bored from the daytime in the are or a flashy night out.



The Tides South Beach Miami, Florida
The Tides is located in the heart of South Beach Miami, right across from the beach. From the first time I walked into the lobby I immediately felt relaxed. I love the turtle shell decoration and the beautiful dining room. I love the suites here with their ocean views. It was so relaxing sipping a glass of tequila while over looking the bright blue ocean and white sand beach of South Beach.



Banyan Tree Maldives

From the first time I stepped off the boat and walked on the wooden bridge to the lobby I could not stop looking at the ocean and the colorful fish. I love the private resort area, beautiful room and my own jacuzzi. I had a blast staying at the Banyan Tree Maldives. It was one of the best islands I have ever traveled to, rich with ocean life, this resort is definitely a luxury getaway.



Le Petite Nice Passedat Marseille, France

Le Petite Nice Passedat is a boutique hotel in southern France. I love the vibe of this luxury boutique hotel, especially the terrace area.  There is ocean access where I can swim right off in the hot day in the summer. One of my favorite things about Passedat is they have a great restaurant. If you wish to have one of the best French fusion meals , Passedat will leave you with an unforgettable experience.



Mandarin Oriental Hotel Bangkok

The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok is a classic hotel and It was the first true luxury hotel in Thailand. I love the location which is along the Jow Praya River where there is such rich culture and tradition and its shows how people have been living by the river for hundred of years. My sister had her wedding at the Mandarin, it was absolutely gorgeous. I have always had a great experience here and the view from the hotel rooms overlooking Jow Praya at night is absolutely stunning .



The Alexandra Resort Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos

The Alexandra is located on Grace Bay Beach which I consider to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Turks & Caicos. The room is clean and they have everything provided even a washing machine and dryer. I love the balcony overlooking the ocean. I had an amazing time in Turks & Caicos at the Alexandra. The beach staff are very friendly and one of my favorite things about this luxury hotel is the live band on the patio dining area during sunset.



Mountains & Waterfalls

Mountains & Waterfalls are my favorite examples of natural beauty. I feel the energy and inspiration when I am surrounded by big waterfalls and green mountains. I love the fresh air and there are so many amazing places I have traveled to with amazing views like this such as  Jungfrau, Switzerland, Hallstatt, Austria, Plitvice National Park, Croatia and Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is always a worthwhile trip to these beautiful places, and I still want to discover more beautiful moutains & waterfalls



Gorgeous Beaches

I am in love with gorgeous beaches. Whenever I have a chance to go to the beach, I could spend the whole day lying in the sun down, swimming and snorkeling. The crystal clear ocean and soft white sand are like a heaven on earth. I can free my mind from everything. A great beach trip is always at the top of the LuxeTravelVisor list. There are still so many beaches around the world for me to discover!



Hidden Beauty of Nature

It blows my mind that sometimes I can still find  places in the middle of nowhere that I never knew existed like the blue cave in Croatia and the lagoon in Samui Islands Thailand.  The spontaneous activities where I just happen to find these hidden natural beauties fill my trips with the best memories.



Old Towns Around The World

The old towns in many cities around the world are so mysterious for me. I get to see the culture, architecture and history that the larger cities were built around. It is always very interesting to me to learn how people live on in their traditions.  Eventough many cities across Europe are somewhat similar, the old town areas are still very unique so I am always interested in exploring these areas in every country I visit.



La Palina Cigars

La Palina is a fine cigar. I have loved La Paline since the first time I tried one. It has a rich, smooth flavor and nice even burn. I appreciate a great cigar while enjoying a  fine drink or enjoying some gorgeous scenery. It is the moment when I can lie back and enjoy myself. La Palina also has a great story behind it. I love how the female theme displays the independence and strength in their own work and skill.  This has been a great inspiration for me as I love to inspire the independent woman traveler.



Padron Cigars

Padron is one of the finest cigars and my all time favorite. I love the relaxing moment while I smoke. The best time is when I can enjoy my Padron cigars while sitting on the balcony of my hotel room. This makes every trip even more fun where I can just enjoy, sit back and relax. This is the time when I usually have the most inspiratin for business, art, work & writing.  



Rooftop Lounges

When it comes to party time. The rooftop lounge is my top party place. I was born and raised in a big city. I love the luxury of the urban lifestyle but more than that there is nothing better then enjoying a great drink overlooking the big city skyline. I always have a blast when I spent an afternoon smoking a cigar and enjoying a cocktail on one of the best outdoor rooftops or a great night out in the warm weather at a rooftop lounge in Bangkok.

Croatian Food

I was very impressed with Croatian food. It was quite simple but I have to say I had the best simple, fresh and delicious seafood in my life. I love the fact that they know how to cook the best grilled fish. One more thing about Croatia that I love, their homemade pasta with black truffles. Croatia is big on black truffle. I could not help but have pasta almost every day there and the oysters from Ston Island were amazing too they were the best oysters I have ever had.



Puerto Rican Food

Puerto Rican people take their food seriously! It was much better than I ever expected, every restaurant I went to I was never disappointed. If you ask me what do I love about Puerto Rico - I will absolutely say the food as number one and the rich culture of Old San Juan as a close number two. I also lovethe local drinks in Puerto Rico, it would be a shame If I don't mention  Puerto Rican Rum, Mojitos & the absolutley delicious local coffee.



Aerial Tours

Aerial tours are really fun. I love the bird eye's view. It is the best way to enjoy scenery, geography, landscape and sometimes my eyes would lock onto something unbelievable like the details of a theme park, a big rushing river, mountains, bridges or someone's house in the middle of nowhere. It is definitely an interesting activity. I usually find a chance to do an aerial tour in some interesting places like the Grand Canyon, NYC or the glaciers in southern New Zealand.



Parasailing

Parasailing is so much fun, especially when I am on top of the super crystal clear ocean. There is nothing like it. The color of the ocean, the fresh air and I just sit there and chill and enjoy the best of it. It is fun and relaxing and I can really enjoy the excitement of the high. When I am up there I feel like I own the world. It is just so beautiful to have that view while I can feel like I am flying in the air.



Fishing

Fishing is one of the most relaxing sports for me. I have such great memories every time after a fishing trip. I love the relaxation and required patience.  While I enjoy being on the water, I also love picnicing on the boat. The best part is that I can enjoy my picnic while waiting for a fish to bite. My favorite fishing trip was when I had the chance to fight and land a 6 foot sailfish. It was extremely challenging and yet another trip where I was able to enjoy my time relaxing and boating till I found a great spot to fish. It is definitely a great sport.



Cycling

When I go on a trip to the places I have never been I am always curious to get to know the location better and I usually look for a bicycle shop first because cycling is my favorite first day trip. It is easy to get around and I don't need driver's license for it. I can easily get to learn about each location, the restaurants and the bars. It is much faster then walking around and I can get off the bike anytime when I find an interesting bar or restaurant that I want to try, more importantly - it's fun!



Boating & Sailing

Boating is such an awesome activity. One of the best boating trips for me was in Hallstatt, Austria. I loved boating on the big lake with the sky high mountains surrounding me while I could just keep moving on to see people's houses or farms from the lake. It was absolutely gorgeous and so much fun. I also love sailing on the crystal clear ocean and sailing away from the shores.



Train Rides

Train rides can be absolutely amazing and unique. These rides are always different from one place to another. I really love train rides while crossing from one town to another or from one country to another. I love watching out the window as the scenery passes by. The magnificent views, scenery, landscape and people's houses from different cultures are unforgettable. I loved the train rides in Switzerland more than any other. 



Exotic Activities

I would love to share with you some of my favorite exotic activiites such as photographing yourself with chain free tigers, hugging the tigers or riding an elephant through the jungle, crossing a river and showering them, or getting on the water in an exotic way like on a bamboo water and rafting down the river and then getting on traditional transportation like a cow carriage while enjoying the mountains and the rice fields. To add more adventure try the longest zipline in the world in Puerto Rico!



Snorkeling

Snorkeling is the best! I love swimming in the crystal clear ocean and exploring the bottom of super soft white sand. The best part of snorkeling is exploring a stunning coral formation or chasing beautiful, colorful fish or swimming with sea turtles. It is one of the best experiences I have ever had. I could spend the whole day snorkeling from one spot to another. To me this is absolutely the best way to enjoy the ocean and appreciate the beauty nature has to offer.



Spas

When It comes to pampering and reward myself, I love spending a nice relaxing day in the afternoon at great spa. I truly love the spa at the Waldorf Astoria in Orlando. The combination of the clean vibe, privacy, service and great massage is the best way to give myself time to forget about work and worries. It's important to treat myself and my body well. This is absolutely a wonderful activity for everyone.



Hat Shopping in Old San Juan Puerto Rico

I love shopping and I love to buy a new hat wherever I visit.  One of my favorite hat shops is in Old San Juan. They carry great hats and what makes this hat shop unique is the authentic manufacture and personalized fittings. Here, you can select your own hat band in any color you can imagine and the service is amazing. I love great hats because they are always useful when I travel but more importantly I love traveling in style!



Roller Coasters

Roller Coasters are extremely crazy fun! The moment the coaster takes off I cannot think of anything but let myself enjoy the thrill and excitement like a little kid. I have loved roller coasters ever since I was young. It's also a fun for me now as an adult so this crazy toy tends to be a timeless favorite for me.



Sightseeing Tours

Sightseeing tours are a great way to get to know a city's hot spots and history.  They usually have a tour guide explaining the areas, history sometimes recommending famous restaurants. The New York hop on hop off buses are my favorite because it makes it easy to get around the city and I can use my ticket anytime within three days. Whenever I  travel to  cities in Europe where I can find a hop on hop off bus I always use it to get around the city during a nice day out.

Shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks department store in midtown NYC is a great luxurious department store where I can find all of my favorite high end brand names. They carry couture dresses from  famous fashion designers. I love going to Saks for shoes and bag shopping. I had such a great experience one time when I traveled to Palm Beach,FL. I was in a rush there and I didn't bring my evening dress, but I had a private shopping experience at Saks after the store closed and the staff has a great sense of fashion so emergency diverted - I ended up with a beautiful dress and shoes too.



Entertainment Shows

There are a few shows that I like in NYC: Rock of Ages, Blue Man Group and some of the Burlesques. They are extremely entertaining and the performers in the NYC broadway shows are great. If you ever stop by in NYC, give it a try even if you are not the type of person who typically is drawn to a broadway show - I guarantee you will find yourself smiling during the show.



Hartmann Luxury Luggage

Hartmann luggage is a great product modern yet classy. It is stands out from other luggage designs. I have been using my Hartmann luggage for a long time and it has always amazed me how strong this luggage is and it always looks great and unique and will for years to come. I travel a lot and I have been using the same luggage for years and it is stll in a great shape. I  keep going back to Hartmann for more when I think of getting a new luggage.



Phillippe Charriol Luxury Watches

Charriol's watches are very feminine. I love the design and they are different from all other designs for woman watches. I love beautiful watches and I need mine all the time as time is critical when I travel a lot. I am always concerned with everything on my schedule as I am often on tight dealines, but more than that Charriol watches always look beautiful even day or night. I am just in love with this beautiful watch from Charriol.



Sony Camera & Accessories

I have used many camera brands over the years but Sony is my favorite camera brand.  The new Sony products that come out these days are of amazing quality with easy to use functions, great colors and produce sharp pictures. My Sony cameras have become a part of my journey and I am very happy with the quality of my photos, as a woman sometimes I love small camera because it is light and the small Sony cameras give me as much quality as some of the larger digital cameras.



Apple Products

I love Apple products and technology and these days they have become so important to everything I do. I love traveling with my iPad, it is light and convenient. I love the fact that I can just put it in my purse or have it by my side whileon the beach. 



L'Occitane Skin Care

I love L'Occitane products. They are great quality products and the scents are unique when compared to any other brand. The good thing about L'Occitane is that I can easily find them at the airport. I always use their Creme Divine, Extrait Divin, Moisture Mask and hand cream and they are so rich which makes it worth that money I spend. They carry products both for men and woman. When I have to get my friends or family a quick high quality gift I usually think of L'Occitane products - everyone loves it!



Dermalogica Skin Care

I have been using Dermalogica products since I was teenager and I still love them. I love their hydro active mineral salt. The products work amazingly and I always recommend them to my friends. I also love multi active toner and sunblock. These are definitely important for my skin since I have to travel a lot and when I am in the airplane or on the beach for hours my skin usually gets quite dry so I definitely love taking care of my skin with Dermalogica products.



Mac Makeup

Cosmetics are like a woman's best friend, well besides diamonds... I always have to carry my look as I travel in style. I love Mac cosmetic products because they always have new products and color for all skin types and colors. I am always happy to find the right products that match my skin color and my look. This gives me great confidence and the ability to stay in trend from head to toe.



Asos Fashion Clothing Online

I love Asos fashion online shopping! Asos is always updated with the latest trends and all sizes. I shop on Asos all the time.  The clothes I buy from Asos almost always fits me well but if they don't fit perfectly I always can return with their free shipping policy and their customer service is typically quite fast. People always ask me where I got my outfit and most of my gorgeous outfits are from Asos and the best part is that they look gorgeous on me and the price is always reasonable!
