Most Memorable Travel Experience: Safari - you never forget the first time (Zimbabwe & South Africa) and always want to return.
Travel Tip: Embrace travel’s surprises- missed trains, rain, or detours- as the moments that often become your most memorable adventures.
How Do You Define Luxury Travel? For me it is about meaningful connection and time with those you love, or just stillness with yourself. That is what you remember for years to come, that helps re-set or that reminds you of what really matters.
If Your Personality Was Depicted in a Property, Which Would You Be? Borgo Santo Pietro in Tuscany. It is a culinary and botanical paradise, perfect for contemplating life among olive groves and lavender fields.
