How amazing is the sky in the Archipelago islands in Finland at 11pm at night? Probably one of the most beautiful ferry crossings that I have ever done. Bridges & ferries are the two main ways to get around the islands by land. Though most people use their own boats. Finland is known to have the world's largest Archipelago, consisting of a whopping 80k islands!! (Press Trip) @ourfinland

I have decided to start sharing some of my personal experiences, in hoping that l can help others & put a positive spin on all things heart related ❤ Had a little more time off from IG than expected, as l had heart surgery again. Little different this time being in the middle of a pandemic. It has been 1 & half years since l was rushed to ICU for the first time , while out exercising. Since then l have had 4 heart surgeries, 2 pacemakers, 2 defibrillators, diagnosed with a rare heart condition called cardiac sarcoidsis, a cloth. And in total have spent 2 & half months in hospital overall. I have even been able to fit in a trip to Australia, Cyprus, Austria, Taiwan, Japan, Greece, Italy & France during this time & before lockdown. While l have mentally & physically changed, l certainly have not allowed my heart to control my life. Instead, l have embraced it like a kid having a bag of sweets. I truly amazed at what doctors ( nurses) can do with the human body & technology. The surgery was 100% successful & l have started doing what l love again being outdoors & exploring. While it is only in my local parks & it's just light hiking. I am happy to be back on my feet & alive. The picture is my x-ray showing my pacemaker, ICD & leads running through my body. #thinkingpositive #pacemaker #pacemakerlife #feelblessed #heartsurgery #healthyheart #pacemakerwarrior #bionicwoman #defibrillator #icd #travelblogger #cardiacsarcoidosis #sarcoidosis #adventuregirl #heartsurgerysurvivor #pacemakerclub #heartwarrior #nhs #stgeorgeshospital #nevergiveup #heart #hearthealth

A very big Happy New Year to everyone 🎉🎊 I hope 2019 brings nothing but happiness & joy (& lots of travel) for you all 🛫 What is your first trip of the year? After nearly a month away (mostly in hospital), it's nice to be back & enjoying everyone's pictures. Here is Everest with the prayer flags infront of it. For a split moment the clouds cleared & Mont Everest came out to say hi when we were trekking to Everest Base Camp. She really is a beautiful mountain. #Himalayas #Everest #travelphotography #travelstoke #lppathfinders #beautifuldestinations #neverstopexploring #hike #hiking #trekking #mountainscenery #adventure #adventuregirl #amazingviews #outdoorsg #Nepal #hikingadventures #dreamholiday

It's been a while since l have been on social media, but l have a lot going on with my health. However, l am back now & ready to post!!!!! Have you ever seen the pyramids of Egypt? Can't believe it has been a year since l went quad biking during sunset at the great pyramids of Giza Egypt. It was so much fun driving up & down the dunes in the sand. Luckily, I was wearing my desert shemagh as I was covered in dust. The boys regretted instantly not wearing their scarfs #visitegypt

The amphitheatre of El Jem is located in the modern-day city of El Djem Tunisia. It is the third largest amphitheatre in the world & the biggest in Africa. It is less crowded than the Colosseum of Rome & only cost £3 to visit. #discovertunisia #inspiringtunisia #presstrip Thanks for helping 🎥: @earthexploredtiktok @travelwithpedro

I had the most wonderful opportunity to stay at the 5 star @parkigls Medical Spa Resort Austria for a week on an "Intensive Detox Program" & learning how Modern Mayr Medicine worked. I went away a few kilos lighter, totally relaxed & l felt absolutely incredible, the best l have felt since being diagnosed with heart disease & getting a pacemaker/ICD. The resort has everything, 360 panoramic gym, indoor swimming pool, beautician centre , medical professionals, amazing views & so much more. Days, we're spent getting daily messages, treatments, hiking, relaxing, having delicious food, or doing one of the organised activities. While l was on a 1000 calorie intake, l never felt hungry at all. I could not highly recommend this place enough for anyone wanting to be 100% healthy or generally wanting to destress. #PressTrip #parkigls

Have you ever taken a toboggan (Luge) ride through the snow before? The ride started off slow, then it fully sped up as we went flying down the mountain & going around tight bends. But before l knew it, l was already down the mountain looking for more!!!! Based in Col de la Faucille ski resort Pays de Gex, France is one of the longest in Europe. Don't worry if you are too scared as two people can be strapped in together to enjoy the ride #Presstrip

Seeing the chimpanzee at the Tacugama Sanctuary was at the top of my list when in Freetown Sierra Leone recently. The Sanctuary rescues & rehabilitates these lovable monkeys from people who unfortunately keep them as pets & treat them cruelly. When they arrive, the Sanctuary helps them slowly to reintegrate into family groups & into the wild, where they can be watched & protected from any further cruelty from others. If you want to know more about this amazing organisation, please feel free to check out their IG @tacugama #presstrip #visitsierraleone #explorefreedom @tourismsalone

Waking up to this amazing sunrise & views while glamping on Banana Island in West Africa. I just spent the most incredible week in Sierra Leone learning about the culture & people & seeing what this country had to offer. There are 3 islands that make up Banana Islands Dublin, Rickets & Banana, all linked via Stone causeway. These islands are a popular attraction from Freetown for diving, nature & hiking, just to name a few. #presstrip #visitsierraleone #explorefreedom @tourismsalone

It is compulsory to have a drink when in the mountains? Who wants to join me? As l have gotten older, l have certainly appreciate the hotel amenities a little more than l used to. Having spas, laying by the pool & sitting on the terrace, taking everything in now is a part of my ski holiday. This is the stunning Les Campanules hotel in Tignes.This beautiful hotel had an amazing terrace & heated outdoor infinity pool, taking in these views 😍 which you can enjoy while on your ski holiday.

Can you believe this is Egypt? This place is known as the white desert or the shara el Beyda, which is a protected area in a national park of Egypt. A clear contract from the black desert we visited the next day. It is a popular tourist destination for outdoor lovers for its rock formations created by limestone & chalk. We were about to camp here & watch the sunset and sunrise & it looked amazing, reflecting on the rocks. This was truly a surreal experience.

Seeing the Luxor Temple at night & walking down the avenue of Sphinxes or also known as the kings festival road was a surreal experience to be on The 2.7kms long avenue connects with another famous historic landmark, the Karnak Temple.
