You can take the girl out of Japan… but you can’t take Japan out of the girl 🇯🇵🍄⭐️

We just stepped through the portal into Super Nintendo World at Universal Epic Universe and seeing it here in Orlando felt like such a full circle moment.
•
As a Japan travel specialist who has experienced Super Nintendo World in Osaka (and California 😉) it is so special to experience this version and compare the details, the energy, and the immersion.

Lets-a go✨

Research day… but make it VIP✨

Private guide. Front-of-line access. Behind-the-scenes moments. And tonight? Throwing beads from a Mardi Gras float during the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience at Universal Orlando Resort 🎭
•
This is the level of access my clients deserve, and exactly why I show up and experience it firsthand!

If you want Universal Orlando done right, I’m your girl🤪

✨Just Booked – Oceania Insignia✨
•
My clients are ready for their small ship luxury voyage from Miami to Panama City, with incredible ports along the way and a bucket-list Panama Canal transit!
•
They’ll enjoy the journey from a beautiful Verandah Stateroom, perfect for taking in the scenery as they sail through one of the world’s greatest engineering wonders!
•
Oceania is known for its refined atmosphere, exceptional cuisine, and destination-rich itineraries. After recently transiting the Canal myself and visiting Panama twice, I know my clients are in for an unforgettable experience 🌎✨

Surprise, I’m in New Orleans! ✨

Today, I stepped aboard the beautiful Viking Mississippi for a quick ship tour while she was docked and woah she’s impressive! 🚢🤩

Even from a walkthrough, it’s easy to see why river cruising has such a loyal following: smaller ships, relaxed pacing, and scenery that stays front and center.

The Viking Mississippi showcases all of that with its bright Scandinavian design, spacious staterooms, and inviting indoor/outdoor lounges made for watching the river drift by.

If you’ve ever been curious about river cruising, this ship definitely inspires wanderlust!🌎

Contact me at [email protected] and let’s get you sailing in 2026 ✨

As always, thank you so much to for another wonderful opportunity!🥰💜

Stepping off the ship today, I realize just how deeply this journey has touched me. Some trips will stay with you forever, and for me, this expedition is one of them.

I arrived excited to explore and learn, but I’m leaving with something truly precious: the memories and connections made with the incredible people who shared this experience with me.

I learned from them, laughed with them, and saw the world through their eyes. Parting ways is bittersweet, but my heart feels as full as it can get, even while leaving a piece of it behind.

A tremendous thank you to National Geographic–Lindblad and for the opportunity of a lifetime.

“Always bet on yourself. Buenos dias, buenos dias, buenos dias.” ❤️

(Yes I am currently ugly crying at the airport Olive Garden)

Next we traveled deep into the Gamboa rainforest, where we climbed up into the canopy for sweeping views over the dense, emerald-green jungle. 🌿✨

We heard monkeys calling through the trees and birds echoing across the forest — it truly feels alive in every direction. We even had hummingbirds eat right out of our hands, one of the most magical and delicate wildlife encounters of the trip.

Later in the day, we set off on a panga boat for one final wildlife search. Drifting along the forest’s edge, we were treated to an unforgettable moment: a monkey climbed down a tree and leapt right into the bow of our boat!! A perfect finale to our time in Panama’s incredible rainforest. 🐒✨

We just transited the legendary Panama Canal! 🚢✨

Standing on deck as the ship rose and sank through the locks, surrounded by jungle-covered hills and incredible engineering history, was truly surreal. One of the world’s greatest feats of human innovation—and we got to experience it firsthand!

Photos can’t begin to do this moment justice. A day I’ll never forget.

⚓ This morning we dropped anchor off the historic town of Portobelo! Christopher Columbus once called it the “beautiful harbor,” and it’s easy to see why.

Framed by lush hills and Caribbean-blue water 🌿🌊, this quiet town has witnessed centuries of history, from Spanish treasure fleets to pirate sieges and the legacy of Francis Drake.

We set out early to explore the colonial fortifications 🏰, wander the colorful streets 🌈, and visit the Church of San Felipe—home to the famous Cristo Negro statue ✨, still celebrated by thousands of pilgrims each October.

Our morning ended with an unforgettable Congo Carnival performance 🎶—a powerful cultural tradition born from resistance and resilience. Portobelo was the perfect blend of culture, history, and vibrant artistry.

After traveling 114 nautical miles overnight, we arrived in the remote Cayos Holandéses—one of the 365 islands of the Guna Yala archipelago off Panama’s eastern coast. Here we enjoyed a refreshing swim in the warm, crystal-clear waters 🏝️💦 and soaked in the peaceful beauty of this tiny coralline island.

Later in the day, members of the local Guna community welcomed us with their beautiful textiles and lively music 🎶. We sipped fresh coconuts 🥥, and I even had mine expertly opened by a man with a machete so I could enjoy the tender fruit inside. We ended the day gathered around a bonfire as the sun dipped low 🔥🌅—an unforgettable finish in this remarkable corner of Panama.

🌎 Today we explored one of the most remote corners of the Caribbean coast—where Colombia meets Panama! 🇨🇴🇵🇦

🌴 The villages of Capurganá and Sapzurro are surrounded by rainforest and accessible only by boat, with no roads leading in or out. 🚤 This region receives very little tourism, which makes it feel like discovering a hidden world. ✨

We hiked through lush jungle trails, crossed the border on foot into La Miel, Panama, and ended the morning with a refreshing swim in the turquoise water 🏝️—an unforgettable experience where the Darién rainforest meets the sea. 🌊

To round out the day, we visited a local school where the children performed in celebration of the Independence of Cartagena —a perfect tie-in to the region’s culture and history—before finishing off at the picturesque Reef Bar with cold drinks and fresh fruit 🍹🍍

After lunch in Lorica and learning about the artwork of Marcial Alegría, we traveled to the indigenous village of Tuchín—home of Colombia’s iconic sombrero vueltiao.

Split into small groups, we got to witness the incredible weaving process in five distinct steps, each showcasing the Zenú artisans’ precision and patience.

A surprise torrential downpour only added to the adventure, and I couldn’t resist bringing home a colorful handmade purse—a little piece of this beautiful culture and craftsmanship.

Our explorations through northern Colombia continue as we drop anchor off San Antero and travel inland to the charming riverside town of Santa Cruz de Lorica.

Set along the Sinú River, Lorica’s vibrant mix of cultures is reflected in its stunning architecture and lively marketplace—a beautiful blend of history, heritage, and everyday life.
