Hiking the Prudente’s hill in Lages (Brazil)

I used a Nikon D3100 DSLR camera, using a simple 18-55mm lens and I’ve edited it in Lightroom. This is my favorite photo ever, it show us we don’t need an expensive equipment to register our adventures!

Big Kids in New Zealand

This photo was taken with my Olympus camera, a small treasure that has more dents and drops than anything else I own! The photo was then enhanced using the standard Apple photo enhance icon.

What Did We Do In London? Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard

Shangri-la Hotel, At the Shard, London by Lisa NiverThank you to Julie and Nancy, my dive and travel buddies from Princess Cruises, for joining me in London at Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard. See the first part of our journey here.
Julie, Lisa and Nancy at Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard, London Julie, Lisa and Nancy at Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard, London
What were our Adventures?

Video: What to do near Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard, London?



Where did we go?

Shakespeare’s Globe Theater


Tate Modern


and the Modern Couples Exhibit at the Barbican Museum.


Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard, London even had a special map for us with points of interest on our walk to the Barbican.


Borough Market was fully decorated for the Christmas holidays during our trip Dec 1-3, 2018.


Nancy Lisa and Julie on Millennium bridge in London. Nancy Lisa and Julie on Millennium bridge in London.

Make sure to stop for a photo at the wall of hearts and love!


At Tate Modern, I saw an exhibit of Jenny Holzer’s work which I had recently seen at the new Comcast Tower in Philadelphia.


On our walk to the Barbican, I loved seeing the old city wall of London. Walking in London you can feel the history of the city. From Shakespeare’s Globe Theater to the old city walls, it is such a different perspective than walking around a young city like Los Angeles


We lunched around the corner from the museum at The Coriander. Spending time with Julie and Nancy was special to me because I worked with both of them onboard Princess Cruises. I feel fortunate to have fantastic supportive friends like them who are willing to travel with me.


Nancy, Julie and Lisa at lunch in London! Nancy, Julie and Lisa at lunch in London!

As we walked back, we wandered through St. Paul’s Churchyard and walked across the Millennium Footbridge.


At night, we walked across Tower Bridge and enjoyed the views of Tower Bridge from our stunning hotel.


We loved the views from Shangri-La Hotel,  At the Shard, London. See more in the next video all about the property with my gorgeous suite, the highest sky pool in all of Western Europe and GONG the Sky Bar.


Have you always wanted to stay in a sky hotel?

Visit Shangri-La Hotel, At the Shard, London with me.

The rooms are stunning and the view is beautiful.


I loved watching the ships in the water go under Tower Bridge.

Julie and I loved the view so much we had a picnic in our room in our robes.


Pick your robe: a white terry cloth robe or a Japanese yukata robe. I wore a yukata to the 52nd floor to visit the Sky Pool, GONG the sky bar and work out at the fitness center with a view.. This is the highest pool in Western Europe!

We ate breakfast at TING and tried almost all the choices on the buffet. There are Asian, English and American specialities!

What I Learned about Love, I Learned from my Dog, AUSTRALIA

I used a Nikon Coolpix P600 to take the photo, then edited it using the photo editing tools on my Apple Macbook pro to very slightly reduce the lighting and increase the saturation.

Josh Duhamel, Mario Lopez, Victoria Justice, Candice King, Marcia Gay Harden, Josh Henderson, Minka Kelly, Emily Osment and many more, stepped out to enjoy the Sandals Resorts Private Event at the Hyde Lounge inside Staples Center. The Farewell Yellow Brick Road show had A-listers singing and dancing in their seats as they sipped specialty cocktails named “ Sandals on the Beach” and channeled their inner Elton by rocking oversized glitter glasses!


Elton John and his band gave the most amazing three hour concert. It was truly the best concert I have ever been to. He spoke about his ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION which has raised over 400 million dollars and helped people all over out planet. It started at his kitchen table. What legacy are you building?
