Hello There,

I’m Roni Faida

(Pronounced Fi-e-duh)

I’m a trilingual travel expert and a former tour guide who is now traveling for fun and sharing my adventures and advice with you.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’ve traveled across the globe for more than three decades. Initially, my blog was a way to keep my loved ones updated on my adventures. Over time, it’s evolved into something more impactful—a digital space filled with travel wisdom to support fellow adventurers (and would-be adventurers!) with exploring the world. I hope the insight and advice I share will enrich your journeys, and make them more memorable.

  • Language Lover: Picture this — Me, clueless, stepping out into Spain and France, armed with nothing but “Si” and “Oui.” Fast forward through years soaked in the sun-drenched streets of Barcelona, Sevilla, and the chic boulevards of Nice and Paris, and voilà: a trilingual storyteller emerges. French and Spanish? Check and check.
  • Learning in Paris: I received my MBA in international marketing while living in the Paris, which taught me so much more than marketing. It was a masterclass in living life to the fullest, adapting on the fly, and keeping calm when plans go amiss.
  • The Voice on the Bus: Have you ever gone on a guided tour? You know the person who would point out landmarks with an enthusiastic “And on your left, you’ll see…”? That person was me, holding a microphone and guiding excited travelers to amazing destinations for almost 10 years, seven of which were spent as an Adventure Guide for Adventures by Disney. It was a fulfilling chapter of my life that left me with unforgettable experiences and lasting memories. It was by doing that work that I learned to cater to different personalities, remain calm under stress, and manage the expectations of up to 50 discerning travelers at at time who relied on me to fulfill their travel wishes.  

Why I Roam…

In 2012, stopped being a Tour Director and focused on traveling for fun. Working for American Airlines allowed me to travel the world for a fraction of the cost. This has given me an opportunity to curate a life I don’t need a vacation from. Travel isn’t just a passion; it’s my way of life. It’s about laughter, positivity, and soaking in the richness of diverse cultures. It’s my therapy, my teacher, and my endless adventure.

Home Sweet Home

When I’m not traveling, you’ll find me basking in the charm of Charlotte, North Carolina—my sanctuary of southern hospitality. Here, I’m a proud homebody, cherishing quiet moments at home and quality time with friends who are like family.

I am able to be all that I am because of the strong foundation my parents provided for me. It was their fierce love and support that allowed me to thrive, and they taught me that I could do anything I wanted with the life I was given.

Becoming the Travel Guru

My parents have encouraged me to travel and explore the world. I followed their advice.

Laughter is a part of my life, I do it often, especially when I’m traveling.

Traveling with natural hair has become my norm, and I feel more comfortable than I ever have in my skin.

Paris has taught me so many lessons. One of which is not to take things too seriously, but in whatever I do, do it well.

I’m a big kid at heart, and even when I’m showing off pretty products, I like to have fun with it.

Fast-Forward 30 years to 2014 when we were traveling to Bratislava, Slovakia.

Dresses are my go-to, whether I’m posing for pictures or running errands.
