[Sponsored Post] What is YOUR Travel sign?

by

I am a TasteBlazer

If you must know, my sign is TasteBlazer. Why am I telling you this? Because thanks to American Express Travel’s new service called NEXTPEDITION, I know that myself now. And with that, I can tell you the kind of mystery trip that I would like to be planned for me.

I would like to travel every continent and eat at the best Michelin starred restaurants that would take a booking for me. Since the idea of NEXTPEDITION is that your trip is a mystery, what better surprise than being flown to the The Fat Duck in England for a lazy lunch?

Or if that is too much to ask, I would settle for any of the 81 three Michelin starred restaurants around the world, which are closer to me. As long as I can breakfast in one, lunch in the next, and dinner in the third, I will be a happy chap. Is that too much to ask?

Oh, since we have kids, could I also request that they have babysitters while we enjoy our meals?

*Sigh* Yes that may all well be too much to ask and desire.

If you want to similarly ask and desire your own mystery trip, I encourage you to visit the NEXTPEDITION site and take your own Travel Profiler Quiz to find out your travel sign. Who knows, your own mystery trip may be more plausible than mine.

American Express Travel announces NEXTPEDITION, a new way to travel targeted to travel enthusiasts in their 20s and 30s. Through NEXTPEDITION, American Express Travel offers consumers the exciting opportunity to take a vacation where the destination and itinerary are unknown until the actual journey begins and is revealed day by day via a customized Smartphone. The “mystery trip” is customized to reflect the traveler’s personality traits, providing an opportunity for him or her to explore the world in an unexpected and intuitive way.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
