About Sammy

I’ve been passionate about travel from a young age, and that love has only grown stronger over the years. With a degree in Business Hospitality & Tourism Management (BBA), I’ve combined my passion for exploring the world with a deep understanding of the travel and hospitality industries. This unique blend allows me to approach travel not just as a hobby, but as a lifelong commitment to discovering new places, cultures, and experiences. 


Travel has always been more than just a getaway for me—it’s about connecting with the world in meaningful ways. I believe that each journey brings with it valuable lessons, whether it’s learning about new cultures, embracing diverse landscapes, or simply stepping out of your comfort zone. I’m dedicated to helping others experience the joy and enrichment that travel can bring, and I’m constantly inspired by the incredible opportunities that travel offers to learn, grow, and discover.

Sammy's Travel Adventures

I’ve loved travel since I was young, and it has been a lifelong passion of mine. My journey has taken me to a variety of incredible destinations, each offering its own unique experiences. One of the most exciting ways I’ve explored the world is through cruising, where I've sailed with several different cruise lines, discovering everything from the rugged wilderness of Alaska to the sunny shores of the Bahamas and the vibrant islands of the Caribbean. 


Alaska was a place of pure awe for me, where I marveled at towering glaciers, spotted humpback whales and bald eagles, and wandered through peaceful coastal towns. The majestic landscapes and pristine natural beauty were a true highlight of my travels. 


The Bahamas offered a completely different experience—an oasis of crystal-clear waters, white-sand beaches, and island life. I loved spending my days snorkeling, lounging by the beach, and exploring private island resorts that felt like paradise. 


In the Caribbean, I explored the colorful culture and stunning beaches of destinations like Jamaica and the Dominican Republic. The warm and welcoming people, the delicious local cuisine, and the lush landscapes made the Caribbean feel like a second home. Every island brought something new to discover, from vibrant markets to tropical rainforests. 


In Oahu, Hawaii, I had the chance to immerse myself in the island's rich history and vibrant culture. I visited Pearl Harbor and other historical landmarks that gave me a deeper understanding of the islands' significance in history. The legendary waves of Waikiki Beach were an experience in themselves, where I tried my hand at surfing, embracing the thrill of the ocean. I also had the opportunity to explore the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC), which offered an incredible look into the traditions and stories of the Pacific Islands. Each moment on Oahu was a beautiful blend of adventure, culture, and history. 


Beyond cruising and Hawaii, my travels have also taken me to the lively shores of Florida, the picturesque landscapes of California, and the rich cultural history of Cancun, Mexico. Each of these places has added a unique chapter to my travel story, and the memories made continue to inspire me to seek out new destinations and share these incredible experiences with others.
