Hello! I am Danielle Bernadette.
I am a nurse, a sound bath practitioner and travel curator who understands burnout, overgiving, and the need for spaces where women feel held, inspired, and renewed. After 2 work injuries at the hospital, I’ve decided that nursing won’t be my plan A anymore. I am now prioritizing my physical and mental health, and so should you, babe.
Horizon & Aqua Travel was born from a deep love of exploration—the kind that goes beyond destinations and into transformation. What started as a passion for discovering the world has evolved into a purpose-driven travel agency designed to curate meaningful, elevated experiences
From this foundation, Serenity by Horizon & Aqua emerged as a more intimate, heart-centered extension of the brand. Inspired by the powerful sense of belonging and awakening found within a surf, freediving and yoga community in the Philippines, this branch is rooted in something deeper than travel—it is about coming home to oneself. Serenity is a women and LGBTQ -centered wellness space designed to cultivate connection, creativity, and inner peace. Through retreats that blend movement, mindfulness, and artistic expression, it offers a safe and inspiring environment where women can gather, create, heal, and grow together.
My Mission: To help many women find their joy within again. As many as I can.
