Belize, a jewel of Central America, has become one of my favorite travel destinations. Having visited may times, I've come to appreciate its rich history, stunning natural beauty, and warm, welcoming culture. Each trip offers new adventures, whether it's exploring ancient Mayan ruins, snorkeling or scuba diving in the crystal-clear waters of the Belize Barrier Reef, or simply enjoying the laid-back Caribbean atmosphere.
One of the things that keeps drawing me back is Belize's incredible biodiversity. The first time I visited Belize it was for an entire month, for the purpose of documenting wildlife there. I had the incredible experience of sighting two wild jaguars in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary! The country is home to lush rainforest's, exotic wildlife, and some of the best marine life I've ever encountered. Swimming with nurse sharks and stingrays at Shark Ray Alley was an unforgettable experience, and the vibrant coral gardens of Hol Chan Marine Reserve never fail to amaze me. The Great Blue Hole, a world famous diving site, is a must-see for anyone interested in exploring the depths of the ocean.
Beyond the water Belize offers countless opportunities for adventure. I visited the ancient Mayan city of Xunanunich and climbed the top of El Castillo which provided breathtaking views of the surrounding jungle. The Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave, with its fascinating combination of archeology and adventure, was one of the most thrilling experiences of my travels. Wading through water-filled caves to discover ancient artifacts and skeletal remains felt like stepping back in time.
The culture of Belize is another highlight of the visits. The fusion of Creole, Garifuna, Mayan, and Mestizo influences creates a unique and vibrant atmosphere. I've loved experiencing local traditions, from lively drumming performances in Hopkins to savoring delicious Belizean cuisine, and the famous Bilezean stew chicken.
Each trip to Belize brings new discoveries and cherished memories for me. Whether I am relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Ambergris Caye, exploring the jungles of the Cayo District, or meeting friendly locals, I always find something new to love. Belize continues to be a destination that calls me back, and I can't wait for my next adventure in this incredible country.
Remarkable views in the Greek Islands!
My fiancé and I traveled to Greece together and had the most amazing time! We embarked on a romantic journey through Mykonos, Santorini, Ios, and Athens, discovering everything from lively nightlife to serene sunsets, luxurious sailing to rich history. Each destination left us in awe, making this the ultimate getaway for couples, a honeymoon, a family trip or a destination wedding!
Our adventure began in Mykonos, the island of whitewashed buildings, vibrant nightlife, and seaside beauty. We wandered through Little Venice and discovered charming cocktail bars with stunning sunset views. At night, Mykonos transformed into a lively party scene, with beach clubs and open-air dance floors pulsing with energy. During the day, we explored the iconic windmills, capturing postcard-perfect photos before enjoying a leisurely seaside lunch. With fresh seafood, crisp white wine, and the salty ocean breeze, Mykonos was the perfect blend of relaxation and excitement. From Mykonos, we ferried to Santorini, a place straight out of a fairytale! Its cliffside villages, blue-domed churches, and stunning caldera views were unforgettable. We stayed at the Exclusive Suites which was the iconic whitewashed building actually built into the mountain! We had our own outdoor hottub too. And the view was spectacular from there as well. For us there were so many highlights of Santorini. The first was we took a luxury catamaran tour, where we sailed past each volcanic-made island and secluded beaches, sipping champagne while taking in the breathtaking scenery. Getting to see the beautiful multi-color mountains with the villages built in was like going back in time. Very charming! Another unforgettable moment was our visits (yes I said visits) to Santo Winery. Sitting on a terrace, tasting world-class Assyrtiko wine, and watching the sky explode in shades of orange and pink was one of the most romantic experiences of our trip. We got to take a tour of the winery too! Before we left to another island, we found Santorini Horse Riding. Ohh my goodness was that an adventure! We go to gallop down the beautiful beach, go to the cliffside for insane views and even trot through an ancient Greek town! I would recommend that to anyone who loves horses and adventure! Ios: A Beach Lover’s Dream! For pure relaxation, we made our way to Ios, an island known for its golden beaches and turquoise waters. Here, we spent sun-soaked days at Mylopotas Beach, swimming in the warm Aegean and enjoying laid-back beach bars. Whether lounging on soft sand or sipping cocktails by the water, Ios offered the perfect balance of seclusion and fun. Our final stop was Athens, a city where ancient history meets modern charm. We took a walking tour past the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Ancient Agora, standing in awe of these legendary landmarks. Walking through the same streets as ancient philosophers was an experience we’ll never forget. To end our trip on a high note, we booked Dinner in the Sky Athens, a once-in-a-lifetime dining experience. Suspended high above the city, we indulged in gourmet cuisine while watching the Acropolis glow under the stars. It was the ultimate way to close our Greek adventure. From Mykonos’ nightlife to Santorini’s sunsets, Ios’ beaches to Athens’ history, Greece offers romance, adventure, and unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a honeymoon, engagement trip, or romantic escape, Greece is a bucket-list destination that you’ll cherish forever!
