Lifestyle blog - Polo and Travel
One of the great parts of my job is not just that I get to visit many places, but I get to visit cities unexpectedly. I have always loved to travel and explore new cities, but my traveling is always somewhat planned out, or I hear about a place or have a friend living somewhere and choose to go there. But being a flight attendant I sometimes go to places I had never expected to go or planned on my...
Most of my #PoloLife posts so far include high-goal tournaments with glamourous parties where champagne is poured by the liters and divot-stomping is more of a picture-moment than an actual spectator “job”. Most matches I have watched the horses are brought out by the many grooms all tacked up and ready to play and they get taken away after to get cleaned and un-tacked somewhere else. These are the privileges of playing polo in Dubai or having a large operation....
Sunday morning I woke up to a nice little surprise in the form of a trip to New York, for those of you who just found my blog I work as a stewardess on a private jet and my schedule is very unpredictable. I had been on standby since mid June with no flights and as I am based in Bahrain and it was Ramadan I was starting to get slightly restless, so a flight to New York...
When I tell people I am half Brazilian and half Danish, their reaction is almost always “That is an interesting mix, how did that happen?” Well it’s actually quite a cute and interesting story how my parents met and also explains where my wanderlust comes from. My mom was the girl from Ipanema, although her mum was British, she was born and raised in Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. She isn’t your average looking Ipanema girl though and back in...
The second day of Chestertons Polo in the Park was sold out for a reason, it was Ladies Day sponsored by Little Miracles Drink. I was honored to have been invited by the main sponsors of the event Chestertons, as I helped write the “What to wear at Chestertons Polo in the Park” article on their website before the event. I must say that one of my favorite parts of this day was to people-watch and look at...
After weeks of anticipation and planning our perfect #MyPoloStyle the day finally arrived! Although a few dark clouds in the morning threatened with rain, by the time we made our way down to Hurlingham park it was a gloriously sunny afternoon. As we got closer to the park it was obvious that something was going on as large groups of perfectly clad gentlemen and girls in summery dresses were making their way to the event of the summer the Chestertons Polo...
I embarked on my polo-playing journey only a few months ago. I began with general practice riding lessons in Bahrain at the end of March, then I had 3 polo lessons in Florida at the Grand Champions Polo Club, then back to Bahrain for a month doing GP riding and now I just returned from London, where my friend, pro polo player and teacher, Royston Prisk gave me two polo lessons at The Royal County of Berkshire Polo Club. So my...
Some fun things are coming up and I am super excited to share it with you guys! So it obviously involves a lot of polo and a bit of flying as well, you know my usual #FlyingForALiving and #TravelingForPolo. In a few days I will be getting on a huge Emirates A380 heading to London! It is always fun being a passenger on Emirates and I hope I meet some of my ex-colleagues in the skies. I will be in...
The US Open Polo Championship was held this past Sunday the 19th at the International Polo Club in Palm Beach, a highly anticipated day for polo fans everywhere being the last tournament of the US Triple Crown. For more info on the US Open check out my last post here and more about the sport of polo here. I had watched the 16 matches leading up to the finals on Chukker.TV from Bahrain and from Denmark, but I was lucky enough...
It has been a while since my last post, because even though I sometimes forget it myself, I actually have a job. I am a stewardess on a private jet. I cannot disclose any information about who I work for and anything about our passengers or where we are going, but my thoughts about it all are mine and I can share them if I want. Being a stewardess was a dream of mine when I was a little girl....
I am going to Florida, for the US Open Polo final and to visit my mom, stopping by Copenhagen for a few days on both ways to break up the trips and see friends and family there.
So my work and personal life synced beautifully and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon and evening on the grounds of the Ghantoot Polo and Racing Club in the company of the British Polo Day team and their 200 VIP guests.
Friday the 13th was the final of the Julius Bär Dubai Polo Gold Cup and it was an excellent day, which I had looked forward to for a long time. The weather was perfect, the company was great and the polo matches were fast and furious and very exciting. This was my third time attending this event in Dubai, which in my opinion is the highlight of the octal calendar and I hope to be able to come back every year....
