I’m Ellen
~ travel lover, bubbles enthusiast, and your go-to guide for unforgettable adventures ~
I’ve spent years working as an interior designer and project management pro, but now I’m swapping floor plans and spreadsheets for passports and boarding passes.
I’ve been globe-trotting for both work and play since my early 20s—which feels like just yesterday, though my passport full of stamps tells another story. Safe to say, I’ve been on the move for a while now!
If you’re anything like me, staying in one place too long makes you a little stir-crazy. I’m a restless soul at heart, and if you’ve landed here, I have a feeling you might be too.
✈️ England Is My Second Home
When I need a quick escape, my heart pulls me to England. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been—but the moment I’m striding through Heathrow, it just feels like home. I’ve got a ton of stories, tips, and hidden gems to share—whether you’re looking for museums, cozy pubs, transport tips, or charming little corners of the countryside. If you’ve never been, I’m here to tell you: go. At least once. Or maybe… three times.
🌊 Cruising = Instant Vacation Mode
There’s just something about cruises—everyone’s in vacation mode, the drinks are flowing, and the vibes are unbeatable. My go-to? The Caribbean. But really, any destination that involves a big boat, sunshine, and ocean breezes has my vote. If you’re a cruiser too, come share your fave itineraries with me on socials!
🏰 Europe: Where History Comes Alive
I’m a total history nerd (in the best way), and Europe is my playground. From ancient ruins to royal palaces, I love standing in the very places where history was made—battles fought, treaties signed, monarchs crowned. It never gets old.
🥂 Bubbly Before Boarding (Naturally)
Wine? Yes. Bubbles? Absolutely. I’m not a sommelier (though I’ve joked I could play one on TV), but I love learning about wine—especially when I’m visiting the regions that make them. Champagne, Cava, Prosecco… I’m here for it all. Hence the name: Bubbly Before Boarding. Cheers to that!
Climbing Mt. Vesuvius! 🌋
I’m not much of an “influencer”—I’m more of a storyteller, a traveler, and someone who genuinely loves helping others plan incredible getaways. So many friends kept asking me for advice that starting this blog just felt like the natural next step. I’m also a certified travel advisor, which means I’ve got the training and tools to help guide you on your next great escape.
So take a look around, drop me a message, follow along on socials, and raise a glass to your next big adventure.
