Equestrian Bucket List Riding Polo Horses on the Beach in Hawaii
This last Sunday I fulfilled one of my big equestrian bucket list items, I have already ridden on the beach a few times (St. Maarten, Fanø ) but doing it in Hawaii has always been a dream of mine. My friend Danielle Travis (check out her awesome travel face masks so you don’t get sick on your next flight, The Barrier Method) lives in Hawaii and she knew the right spot to take me. The people at Hawaii Polo Club and Hawaii Polo Trail...
How To Plan a Polo Holiday in Argentina
Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer. I couldn’t agree more with this statement and one of the adventures that have added the most to my life experience was my polo holiday in Argentina last year. I can highly recommend for any polo person to go to Argentina, where you feel the heart and soul of polo. I can understand that it can be quite scary to go on a polo holiday to a new place...
#PoloWifeLife with Mechi Venancio
On my latest trip around the world with my #CrewLife I had luck on my side and was in Dubai exactly on the day the McLaren Cup started at Al Habtoor Polo Resort and Club. Watching Zedan play against UAE was very exciting as there was a clash of titans between 10-goalers Pablo MacDonough and Pablo Pieres. On the sidelines, I managed to catch up with Mechi Venancio, Pablo MacDonough’s wife and their three adorable kids. We had a little chat...
Puesto Viejo – Luxury Polo Holiday Cañuelas Argentina
Cañuelas, although a seemingly normal suburban and slightly rural area of Buenos Aires, it is very famous in the polo world, as this is where the top polo player Adolfo Cambiaso has his farm. Although a smaller polo Disneyland than Pilar, it does boast a few private polo clubs with tournaments and polo activities. One of the biggest polo clubs in the area is Puesto Viejo, with 6 polo fields, a large clubhouse, where events are often held and a...
Chestertons Polo in the Park Final
Sunday is Family day at Chestertons Polo in the Park and the polo pitch was transformed by Sharky & George and Eddie Catz into a children’s wonderland for the Little Hooves Kids Club and a polo match on bouncy ponies. (we, of course, did not see this as we were slow in getting up Sunday morning after Saturday’s fun in the sun). We did make it just in time for the first match, and I put my GoPro on my...
Last month of #CrewLife
This past month of September I have flown across the world and back, twice! Coincidentally it was my last month as a flight attendant on a private jet. People are always quite intrigued when I tell them about my job and this is understandable, it’s a very different job, so far away from anything “normal”, there is a very glamorous side to it, especially in private aviation, but there’s also a lot of challenges. It was a bittersweet feeling saying...
Polo Valley – Living a Polo Dream
When Polo Valley invited me to come and experience the Residential Polo Course in order to review it I was ecstatic and over the moon! I had been eyeing their Instagram account and daydreaming of the beautiful place for a while, so when the opportunity arose I was on a plane to Malaga immediately. I arrived at Polo Valley in Sotogrande this past Sunday, and immediately felt at home. Everyone here is so welcoming and friendly and the settings are just gorgeous. Alvaro,...
Horseback Riding on the Beach in Fanø
Last weekend I had the most exhilarating experience. I was on the little island of Fanø visiting my dad. This island is situated off of the west coast of Denmark and it is so pretty and quaint, and very popular with tourists looking to connect with nature and chill out. We had been cycling around exploring and taking in the pretty views and we found out about the Fanø Rundridning (trail ride in Danish) and that they do a beach...
Pamalina Prints – A Passion for Polo
We all know that feeling of falling in love with a place and that the mere thought of having to leave and therefore not waking up there every day, hurts. Well this is exactly how Pamalina Prints came to be. Pamela had been in Argentina several times and every time she got back to EZE airport she felt like a piece of her was left behind. Last year on her trip to the polo hub in South America she made sure...
What goes on at Chestertons Polo in the Park
It is almost time!!! Time for the biggest polo party of the London summer! Chestertons Polo in the Park begins next Friday, June 3rd and I am clearly very excited about it. Last year I flew in from Bahrain, the two years prior to that I hopped over on an Emirates jumbo jet from Dubai. This year I will make the trek all the way from Chelsea, London, most likely in an uber. Haha. Whatever it takes, from wherever I am...
Equestrian Bucket List: Beach Ride
Whilst in the Caribbean on the island of Saint Martin I had an amazing experience horseback riding on the beach at the Seaside Nature Park.
British Airways Club World Cabin Review
A few weeks ago I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing the British Airways “Business Class” or as they call it “Club World” class. When I am #FlyingForAliving it is indeed in one of the most luxurious charter aircrafts in the skies, but when I am #TravelingForPolo I want to spend my money on polo and as little as possible on getting there, so I always buy my tickets in Economy and sometimes I even manage to get a buddy...
Wanderlust – What to pack in your carry-on
Saying that I travel quite a bit is no overstatement! Wanderlust has lead me to work as a stewardess for nearly 3 years now and when I am not flying for a living I am traveling for polo as a passenger and I have picked up on a few tricks along the way. This past October I spent approximately 55 hours inside airplanes as a passenger (Bahrain, London, Miami, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Bahrain, Dubai, Moscow, Almaty, Dubai, Bahrain were...
Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic LA
A few weeks ago I had a magical experience in the City of Angels. I was invited to the 6th annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic, a very popular polo event held only twice a year, in NYC and in LA. Pretty dresses, bubbly rosé champagne and an exciting polo match with the star of polo Nacho Figueras made for a perfect Saturday afternoon in the historic Will Rogers Polo Club.
