Three weeks that started as a work assignment… and quietly rewired how I saw the world.

A week living on a yacht while island hopping the Croatian coast — waking up in a new harbor every day with salt in the air and nowhere to be but the next cove.

Winery tours and the kind of laughter only a mother–daughter trip can bring — with a memorable bus trip from Lisbon to Porto (and an unfortunate norovirus flight home that I would not recommend repeating).  

A heritage-filled journey with the girl gang, three generations exploring Ireland together — tracing roots, sharing stories, and discovering where pieces of our family history began.

A red-eye flight straight into honeymoon mode after a busy wedding season — all-inclusive days spent recharging, unwinding, and finally exhaling after months of nonstop celebration.
