When I first started to travel, I told myself that I would try not to re-visit a place I’ve already been to since my list of places to see in the world is so long but after traveling for about five years now, I’ve discovered that it’s important to revisit the places that we instantly fell in love with at first sight because every time you go back, you leave with different experiences and each time you go back, you dive deeper and deeper into the layers that make the places so great. I absolutely loved revisiting London this time around and @rosewoodlondon was the made the perfect home away from home. ✨🇬🇧 Dear London, I’ll be back soon ♥️ what is your favorite place that you love to revisit over and over again? @ nastasiaspassport ✨Photo collab with @katie.one http://liketk.it/2t2Zm #liketkit @liketoknow.it

I've always loved this quote by @eckharttolle about flowers 🌺 "Earth, 114 million years ago, one morning just after sunrise: The first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive the rays of the sun.

As the consciousness of human beings developed, flowers were most likely the first thing they came to value which had no utilitarian purpose for them, that is to say, was not linked in some way to survival. They provided inspiration to countless artists, poets, and mystics. Jesus tells us to contemplate the flowers and learn from them how to live. The Buddha is said to have given a ‘silent sermon’ once during which he held up a flower and gazed at it." This was taken in The Orchid greenhouse structure at the @shangrilasg, an oasis full of serenity in the midst of an urban jungle.

One of the highlights of our adventure in Singapore was walking the colorful streets of Joo Chiat and having lunch with local Zizi, a friend of Rajkumar, @shangrilasg's Chef Concierge who took us on a local adventure through the city. Zizi carries out her father's 70 year long tradition of making the most authentic (and delicious) handmade popiahsin Singapore. The shop is located in the modest little Kway Guan Huat storefront where everything is made fresh. We learned how to stuff the popiahs and were taught how important it is to roll the skin with love and prayers during the process to pass on blessings to the person you make them for. This was such a special experience that made me realize there's more to Singapore just the Marina and the glitz and glam. 💕@nastasiaspassport #dametravelerconnection #nastasiainsinagpore #dametraveler #shangrilasg

I've been fortunate enough to see many volcanoes around the world but Mt. Fuji truly took my breath away. It's simplicity, symmetry and strength are awe-inspiring and there are so many drastically different landscape viewpoints to see it from. This view was from Lake Kawaguchi, a great starting point to view the mountain.

The Amalfi Coast is truly one of the most beautiful and special places in the world. There are many towns along the coast to explore and Sorrento is one of the largest and a best starting points to grab a ferry to the nearby towns of Positano and Amalfi Town! #azalocal @azamaraclubcruises #nastasiainamalficoast http://liketk.it/2rIDg #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Adriana: I can never decide whether Paris is more beautiful by day or by night.
Gil: No, you can't, you couldn't pick one. I mean I can give you a checkmate argument for each side. You know, I sometimes think, how is anyone ever gonna come up with a book, or a painting, or a symphony, or a sculpture that can compete with a great city. You can't. Because you look around and every street, every boulevard, is its own special art form and when you think that in the cold, violent, meaningless universe that Paris exists, these lights, I mean come on, there's nothing happening on Jupiter or Neptune, but from way out in space you can see these lights, the cafés, people drinking and singing. For all we know, Paris is the most magnificent spot in the universe. - Midnight in Paris @thewestinparis #nastasiainparis #dametravelerhotels #dametraveler

Sharing my thoughts on solo travel with @anthropologie today! [link in bio] "As women, fear is constantly being instilled in us. While risks do exist, it ultimately comes down to making bold, yet smart, decisions and taking that leap of faith. It’s important to follow your intuition when traveling solo as I believe it will lead you down the right path. The time I’ve spent alone has taught me self-love. Solo travel heightens your senses to become more aware of your surroundings, as well as more aware of your own self. #nastasiainportugal #anthropologie #ad pc: @flytographer http://liketk.it/2rrCh #liketkit @liketoknow.it

We're sharing our art themed guide to Paris on #DTblog today! [link in bio]. From strolling through the Picasso Museum to gallery hopping in the Marais and hanging out with French artist, #BaptistDebombourg at his art studio with @leroyalmonceau's art concierge and guru, Julie 🎨, this is one guide you won't want to miss! We flew back to NYC on @lacompagnie_boutiqueairline, a boutique and affordable all-business class airline http://liketk.it/2rgqC #liketkit @liketoknow.it offering one main route from Newark 🔁 Paris. At times, the cost is just about as equal to economy flights to Europe on major airlines but with way more perks! And because they're a small independent airline, they're always thinking of ways to entertain passengers. We got lucky this time around as we were treated to the first flying art gallery with playful portraits created by Brooklyn based artist @klyonsnatborn! Check out the sketches via hashtag #klyonsxco! #lacompagnie #leroyalmonceau 📷 collab with another Parisian artist, @marc_nouss! If you have any questions about this special and unique trip, feel free to ask! #nastasiainparis #dametraveler 🎨 👩🏻‍🎨

We visited the town of Salamanca for the first time and at first glance, I assumed it would be similar to any other town we've visited before but the moment we began to stroll the streets, I knew there was something incredibly special about this place. We walked through the Plaza Mayor where it's said to be the place where locals go to get the scoop about what's going on in town, the energy was just as infectious as if you were standing in Times Square! The town is uniform in color and architecture but when the sun goes down, the golden tones of the walls give off a luminous glow, making this town even more magical than it already is. The details of every corner, the beautiful people and the spiritual presence give life to Salamanca. Sure, cities like Barcelona and Madrid are great and all but you get a different vibe when you veer off the beaten path. #myvikingstory @vikingcruises #nastasiainspain #dametraveler http://liketk.it/2re2u #liketkit @liketoknow.it

Saudade became my favorite word when I learned of it after visiting Brazil a couple years ago and it just stuck with me. I was reacquainted with the word during my time in Portugal and I experienced the feeling on my last day in Lisbon. What an incredibly special place with so much beauty lingering in the streets, the air, the people, the food. There are just some places in the world that completely steal your heart away. I already miss it but I am looking forward to exploring Porto tomorrow and sailing the Duoro through this beautiful country http://liketk.it/2raYX #liketkit @liketoknow.it

The magical chandelier staircase designed by Philippe Starck inside the gorgeous @leroyalmonceau hotel in Paris ✨ The entire hotel is truly a work of art with its very own Art Concierge expert, Julie Eugene who took us all around Paris, showing us some of the best art exhibits in town. I made my way back to NYC today on a @lacompagnie_boutiqueairline flight from Paris back to NYC via Newark and was entertained by the cutest artworks of Brooklyn based @Klyonsatborn displayed on each window of the plane!

Just a 20 minute gondola ride within walking distance from the beautiful @fairmonttremblant lies one of the most beautiful scenes my eyes have ever laid eyes on. Mont Tremblant made my heart flutter so much so that I almost forgot that my fingers and nose were slowly falling off from the cold 😅Photo captured by my beautiful and talented friend @peacefulmonkey ❄️ I feel do honored to have joined @aircanada & @fairmonthotels in the celebration of 150 years of 🇨🇦 I've gained much respect for the country and its inspiring prime minister, @justinpjtrudeau. Thank you for the love, acceptance and kindness you've shown to our fellow citizens of the world. You're a true example of what it will take to make this planet a more peaceful place.

Happy 2017 Dame Travelers & friends! Today marks 2 years since I launched the Dame Traveler blog and I cannot believe how much has happened since then. 3 years ago I had just graduated from nursing school, got married and snagged a dream nursing job. Shortly after, my whole world came crashing down after a work related injury that ended my nursing career due to my Scoliosis condition and spinal fusion. I fell into bed rest for 9 months, depressed and needed a project to lift my spirits. That's when I noticed a lack of female travel communities on @Instagram, so I started the #dametraveler hashtag and became the 1st female travel community on Insta! Little did I know then, that it would change my life forever and it's largely thanks to you guys. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of your support. I share my story with you because it's proof that dreams come true with a lot of faith, hard work and perseverance. This journey has been filled with wonder, hard work, beauty, highs and lows. It hasn't been a smooth ride, I've made a lot of mistakes, burned some bridges and then built more and cried some tears yet I still continue to learn. We're all a work in progress and learning from the past helps morphs us into stronger individuals with better character. 2016 hasn't been the easiest on many of us and it has been proof that kindness today is more important than ever. I'll now leave you with these beautiful words by @_marisadonnelly: 'I hope you love fiercely. I hope you give people your heart and you let them hold yours. I hope you share your mind. I hope you believe in the future. I hope you quit measuring yourself and your relationship to those around you and find happiness on even your most difficult days. I hope you fight for things and people that you love. I hope you look back and know that you lived your life exactly how you wanted to, with the people you care for by your side. But most of all, I hope you are fearless when it comes to matters of your heart.' http://liketk.it/2q1tg @liketoknow.it #liketkit

The next chapter of your life is about your own well-being. It’s the beginning of a new year and hopefully a chance to start over, a chance to let go of certain parts of the past and a chance to focus on who you want to be and what kind of life you want to be living.

The next chapter of your life is about your heart. It’s time to heal it, it’s time to take it back from those who broke it and it’s time to collect all the scattered bits and pieces that were lost along the way of loving.

The next chapter of your life is about your mind. Your complex and limitless mind. It’s time to start thinking that you can have whatever you want, it’s time to start saying that you deserve those things instead of doubting yourself. It’s time to stop settling for thoughts that belittle you and stops you from moving forward.

The next chapter of your life is about your soul. It’s time to bring peace back to it, it’s time to nourish it and if you haven’t already, it’s time to find it. It’s time to be still and quiet with your thoughts and not fear them, it’s time to go to places and be with people who make your soul glow.

The next chapter of your life is about rewriting your story. The next chapter of your life is about you because you’ve been trying to be so many things and please so many people that you’ve forgotten who you are and where you belong.

The next chapter of your life is about finding yourself and that doesn’t mean that you have to alienate people or spend all your nights alone, you can let as many people as you want in, as long as you’re the one holding the pen.

She chased rainbows and never once was after the gold. for her, it was merely about the feeling of being alive and finding herself at the end of it. there’s no greater treasure in this world than knowing you are made from the things you believe in. @zachryKDouglas #myvikingstory #nastasiaincyprus #dametraveler http://liketk.it/2pDLz @liketoknow.it #liketkit

When my now dear friend and artist, @saramelotti_ approached me via email with an invite to photograph portraits of me in my natural setting and home of NYC, I couldn't help but feel completely honored. For starters, Sara is an incredibly inspirational soul who took a leap of faith by breaking out of the fashion industry as a fashion photographer as a result of the environment causing her to question her own beauty. She wanted to find a way to inspire all women to feel beautiful regardless of the picture perfect images and pressure we are bombarded with on the daily. So she started @questforbeauty.co, a project where she captures portraits of the essence of all types of women in their natural settings. She then asks them questions about what their definition of beauty is. You can read my thoughts on what beauty means to me by clicking the link in my bio. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity Sara.

"Simplicity is beauty. Love is beauty. Inspiration and light is beauty. Diversity is beauty. A passionate old soul is beauty. The list goes on and on but I can assure you, the last place you will find genuine beauty is in a fashion magazine. Beauty manifests itself in so many forms but it shines the brightest when one genuinely opens their heart to the world and its people." - 💕 @nastasiaspassport #dametraveler #nastasiainnyc http://liketk.it/2pdPP @liketoknow.it #liketkit

Proud to be this girl. ✌🏼️ Tag a Dame Traveler you're proud of 💕 @nastasiaspassport #nastasiaincroatia

Be the girl who travels and is continuously blown away by the sheer beauty of unknown.

Be the girl who travels with bad hair and more scars from travel than she could ever count. Embrace it fully. Let every strand, every tan line, and every flaw on your body be a reminder of the story that accompanies it. Like it, love it, and cherish it. It’s yours, and only yours

Be the girl who travels and who can never truly pinpoint the best day of her life, because there are too many breathtaking moments to ever narrow down. Let it be the hardest question anyone ever asks you.

Be the girl who travels, questions, and over-thinks everything. Set your own standards, and never be content. Keep moving forward, and discovering.

Be the girl who travels as it reiterates your independent, free, and radiant spirit. Prove to yourself (and the world) that you can do anything. And that you will do anything. - quote by writer @jerrilynne17 #dametraveler @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2pazM #liketkit
