Could you share with us how you juggle being a working mum and how you manage the time to travel?

AB: Most of my travels consist of travelling with my husband and my daughter Aalana and other times with my sister. As I work full time most of my travels are either long weekends (bank holiday weekends) or Friday- Sunday. Working as a freelance contractor helps me to be able to travel as much as I can as I am not tied into a permanent contract, and the fact that I had a very understanding manager who knew my passion for travels quite well worked in my favour too. Another major factor that helps is that I have an awesome husband who totally gets me and my love for travels, as such happily and readily available on Daddy duty whilst am travelling the weekends without them.

 

 

When you are traveling with your daughter, what type of family holiday do you go on and where has been your favourite place to visit?

AB: Our holidays are quite mixed from beach holidays to quick city breaks. As I tend to travel for long weekends it mostly ends up being a quick city break, however we do try adding long hauls destinations for special occasions such as: wedding anniversary and Christmas vacations too. I basically go where ever catches my eye! One of my fav places to visit has to be Positano in the Amalfi Coast, it’s by far one of the most stunning towns, go visit yourself and you’ll know what I am talking about!

 

!Do you have any amazing family holiday experience’s which you could share with us.

AB: We try making our every trip as amazing and memorable as possible in all the small things we do, our priority is to be able to spend as much family time as possible and let Aalana enjoy the surroundings. One of the memorable ones I could think of was whilst in Naxos in Greece where Aalana climedb up the entire steps going up to the old town through bendy and narrow lanes and steps! She’s an independent girl and loves doing everything on her own.

 

Which has been your favourite country/city to visit and why?

AB: Santorini in Greece!! Never thought such a place can have an impact and leave me totally speechless! It’s absolutely by far one of the most magical islands I’ve ever visited with great culture, delicious food and awesome people!

 

Name one country which is on your bucket list and why?

AB: BORA BORA baby! I’ve been to the Maldives and LOVED every single bit of it, now I want to see Bora Bora with its stunning clear turquoise water, it just feels like luxury at it’s finest!

 

With 2019 approaching fast, have you confirmed any travel plans?

AB: Not yet but I have some places I want to visit for sure!

 

You have such a pretty Instagram account – how much time do you spend on creating beautiful content?

AB: Thank You! I’m not spending as much time as I used too, however I try to create as much content as I can whilst am travelling and store them for the rainy days! As my husband would say I love taking photos! I spend quite a bit of time editing those contents on Photoshop and on average I would easily spend an hour a day editing.

 

Can you tell us about a unique property which you have stayed at and why you loved it so much

AB: Niyama Maldives! Luxury cannot get any better than at Niyama! It was our first trip to Maldives and I wanted to get it right from choosing the right island to the right hotel that was family friendly and Niyama exceeded beyond that! It’s everything in a holiday I’d want from having your own private butler for the duration of your stay, a luxury beach hut that steps right onto the ocean and not to mention the delicious food!
