This week I visited my 7th Wonder of the World and 100th country!!!! 🌍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I called 3 of the countries home, visited 65 solo, had my drone confiscated in 2 (😆), sat university exams in 5, and am so so grateful for everyone I’ve met along the way 🥹 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #5years #7continents #100countries #1hat #suitcaseandi 😝👒

Kayaking with Humpback Whales in Antarctica... I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to top this moment 😍 No photoshop, no optical illusions, just a breathtakingly close encounter with one of the largest animals on earth. Thank you @oneoceanexpeditions ✨ #ad #OneOceanExpeditionPartner #Antarctica • • We were very conscious to stay 100 metres away from all wildlife while kayaking but what we couldn’t predict was a pod of ridiculously curious Humpback Whales following us around the channel!! Despite their size the whales were so graceful. In the @gopro video (I will upload shortly!) you will see that despite how close they got, they were acutely aware of our kayaks... so weirdly enough I wasn’t afraid of being knocked into the water. I was more concerned about my camera being splashed by one of their tails 😂 • This week I will be sharing more of my Antarctica photography and publishing the articles I wrote about my expedition (what to pack, tips for visiting and my personal highlights). Antarctica is my all time favourite destination and it’s my absolute pleasure to share the beauty of this continent with you ☺️💕

Is Cappadocia on your bucketlist? I’m not sure mornings get much better than this 😝✈️💕 Link in bio for my guide to getting the best photos of Cappadocia 🇹🇷 . Also, if you’re interested in how I visited using just a long weekend, check out the caption in my previous post! 🤓 ——— #cappadocia #kapadokya #turkey #turkey🇹🇷

Manifesting Back to December (Taylor’s Version) for my Era’s Tour concert in Denver next Friday 😆🙏🏽🎶 The is my nyc summer 2023 anthem ☀️ #nyc #backtodecember #summerinthecity

Just saw the coolest drone show in NYC before the 4th of July fireworks 💥 Head to Hunter’s Point (my neighbourhood in Queens!!) for the best view of the Manhattan skyline and drone/fireworks extravaganza 🎉🇺🇸 #july4th #macys #independenceday

The view from near my office in Midtown and looking back at the Manhattan skyline from my suburb in Queens earlier this afternoon 😳 #nyc #newyork #canadianwildfires #smoke

✨ GLAMPING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ✨ If you love unique stays, add Greenland Bubble Glamping to your DR itinerary 🇩🇴 Located in Cabarete, this award-winning ecolodge is your chance to sleep under the stars in the countryside, complete with a private bubble tent, tub, poster bed, lagoon terrace, and hammock… my kind of “camping” 😆 Who says DR is all about the beaches?! Whether it’s dinner and drinks at the treehouse, reading in one of the hatch nooks, a visit to the spa, or a stroll through the farm: this is a quiet escape to unwind and relax 😎 📍 @greenlandbubbleglamping
