Thank you so much Andria from A Wonderful Plan for nominating me for the Sunshine Blogger Award.

The nomination came out of the blue, but I was really happy and enjoyed answering the questions. Some of them were really hard! 🙂

If you do not know Andria’s blog, she writes about her travel experiences. Her blog is varied and she writes about cruising, destinations, travel tips and that is why I like her blog. She covers different topics. She is also very honest and open in her posts about how much she spends on holidays for budgeting tips, which I really like.

ANDRIA’S QUESTIONS

Q1) What was the inspiration for you to start your blog? – I wanted to pass on what I learned from my travels and help others with their holiday as so many other people did and helped me. I read reviews and watch videos of hotels, sights, cruise cabins etc before I make a booking and often these helped a lot.

Q2) What do you do to take care of yourself? (self-care) – I have a nice, long, relaxing bath once in a while and I try to book a lot of trips, so I have something to look forward to.

Q3) What is your favourite season and why? – Hmm, I am not sure to be honest. I love summer because of the warmth, I can wear all my pretty dresses and I love the long days. But I love winter because of Christmas.

Q4) If you could live anywhere, where would that be? – No idea! Maybe Singapore?

Q5) What is your favourite thing about blogging? – I enjoy seeing how a post performs and getting feedback from people. Also, I really enjoy reading blog posts about the topics I am interested in as I always learn something, find great ideas or simply get entertained.

Q6) What is your least favourite thing about blogging? – I often find it hard to make time to write my posts. I have plenty of ideas, but finishing a post is very time consuming. Still, in the end it is worth it! 🙂

Q7) Mountains or beach? – This is a no-brainer: the beach.

Q8) What are the most important things you hope to pass on to your readers? – Ideas and inspiration.

Q9) Who is someone you would like to meet? (living or not) – I do not have anyone.

Q10) What book or movie has inspired you, and why? – The movie is called The Box. It is about a family that is in financial difficulties and gets a box delivered with a red button. They are told that if they press the button they will receive 1 million USD, but someone they do not know will die. I do not want to give too much away, but that movie had a huge impact on me and made me think a lot. Would I/you have pushed the button if I/you was in their position?

Q11) Do you consider yourself an introvert or extrovert? – An extrovert. I would see myself as an open minded and outgoing person.
