About
Aloha, I’m Daphne!
I’m half Italian, half Austrian, born in NYC, currently living in Hawaii, and a full-blooded travel lover!
I was a professional ballerina, turned professional photographer, but my biggest passion in life is finding all the varied beauty that I can, all around the world! And I’m all about affordable luxury when I travel.
My trips are always about incredible experiences, delicious food, and the most beautiful & unique accommodations, while exploring it all. And I research the heck out of all of my travel before I book anything, to make sure that my hard-eared dollars are getting me the best overall trip that my money can buy.
My goal is to share the beauty and joy I’ve been lucky enough to witness firsthand…. telling it like I see it, and showing it through the eyes of my lens. And giving you all the helpful info and guides you need to plan your own adventures! Or maybe it might just give you a glimpse into some of the beauty you didn’t even know was out there.
And the other purpose of this site is …. it’s never too late to do something that makes you feel good! I want to leave my son knowing that, and seeing that his Mom truly lived by those words.
I hope you enjoy the blog. And if not, no problem! Just subscribe and pretend you do, until I write something that you eventually like. 😉
The tiny dancer behind the blogger
I love Nutella. With a spoon. I love movies. Especially the romantic sappy kind. Or thrillers. Provided there’s a romance in there somewhere. I love to dance. I used to be a professional ballet dancer. But I really love to shake a tail feather too. I love adventure. Especially the traveling kind. I love my family. And my wonderful friends. I love to give gifts to people. Sometimes I buy Christmas presents already in February. I like to cook. But I love watching a real chef in action. Top chef rocks. I bake a mean brownie. I am even better at eating them than I am at baking them. I love amusement parks. The faster the roller coaster the better. Pink cotton candy is my favorite. I love the beach. I worship the sun. I love creativity. I love love love photography. I love how it can inspire. I love the smiles a photograph can bring to people’s faces. I love it if I am able to do that for someone.
