I hope this was helpful. Which of these are you guilty of? And if you have any more to add, feel free to drop a comment so we can all learn. If you have any follow-up questions on this, let me know as well. Wishing you a wonderful week. ❤️
One month down and forever to go. It's been about One month down and forever to go. It's been about a month since one of the most beautiful days of our lives and I couldn't help but think of how awesome that day was and how much God's hand was in it. 

I'd like to say thank you to our family and friends who flew down to Santorini to be with us and to our incredible vendors for working tirelessly to make the day perfect. And of course, to my amazing husband and best friend who continues to support me and bring out the best in me. I'm so blessed to have you. 

I wanted to share a few photographs from the day with you. It was hard to choose these 10 - lots of amazing memories captured. I've also penned down some more details of our destination wedding on my blog theufuoma.com. If you fancy, go read about the day, and the days leading up to it.

And to you who’s reading this, I pray all your wishes come true. Beyond your wildest imaginations. 🤍
Happy Sunday

📌 When and how to monetize when the time is right
📌Building an engaged community
📌Building a brand that aligns with your values and passion
📌 Strategies for staying consistent whilst having a full-time 9-5 career
📌 Mindset shifts, advise and resources every creator needs to have.

Six years travel blogging 🎉 I didn’t want the Six years travel blogging 🎉 I didn’t want the day to end without sharing on this incredible milestone on my feed so I can look back on this day in the future. 

Swipe left to read a little bit of my journey - there’s a surprise in the last slide as well. 

Of all the awesome things that have happened, the figures, the deals, the paid travels and opportunities, the one thing I cannot quantify is the value all of this has added to my life. I am a lot more confident, more self assured, more at peace with my path, more fulfilled and I wake up everyday with a spring in my steps. 

There’s nothing more amazing than finding your passion and I want that for you. 

Thank you for an incredible six years and for rooting for me always. If you’d like to take a deeper dive into my story, strategy, tools and tactics of how I got here, I wrote something for you. Click the link in my bio. 

Thanks again.

Love,
U.
SANTORINI TRAVEL TIPS AND MINI GUIDE (save + share SANTORINI TRAVEL TIPS AND MINI GUIDE (save + share). Is Santorini on your bucketlist? 🇬🇷 Are you planning a visit someday? Having been there twice now, here are some tips to keep in mind before visiting.

1.) MOVING AROUND 🚗 - The best way to move around is by renting a car. Santorini is a small and expensive island in Greece and there’s no Uber or ride sharing app. Moving around using taxis costs so much. A short 10 minute ride can be as high as 30 euros one way. We rented a car for the entire week and it was very convenient and depending on the car you rent, you can save $$$

2.) WHERE TO STAY. 🏡There are a lot of accommodation options in Santorini. If you want to be close to the party area, stay at Fira. If you want to be close to the touristy side of things, stay at Oia. Oia is typically the most expensive part of Santorini. If you want a quiet, serene area, Imerovigli is your best bet. I loved staying at Imerovigli. We stayed at both Amber Light Villas (mid-range ish - $250 per night) and Rocabella (high end  ish - $600 per night)

3.) WHAT TO DO. 🛥 Quite a bit of activities but you cannot miss a sunset cruise around the island. We rented a private yacht using Santorini 24hr Private cruises. It’s more expensive but fit for a big crowd. You can also book a shared cruise and pay around 100 euros. Wine tasting, beaches, restaurants and of course a visit to Oia to catch the sunset. 

Some general tips 📌
- For the best views: Go to Oia to catch the sunset. 
- Not a fan of the beaches 👀 but you can go and check it out 
- Go to @nikkibeachsantorini for a lovely afternoon out at a beach club 
- Visit a winery. We loved Gaia wines. Beautiful views and wide range of wine selections. 
- Go out for a night out at Fira. Lots of bars and lounges to explore. 
- Cash is best and sometimes the ATMs don’t work. So make sure to hold cash for your stay. 
- I’d say around 5 days for a trip to Santorini to see everything. You can do it in 3 days if you’re pressed for time. 

If you’ve visited, any other tips you’d like to share for others? Share them in the comments. Let me know if this was helpful. Happy Friday. ❤️
