One of my most memorable travel experiences was spending time on Nukutepipi, a private island in French Polynesia created by Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberté. Beyond the extraordinary setting, what made the experience unforgettable was witnessing how true privacy, authenticity, and connection to nature can completely redefine travel. Experiences like these remind me that the most meaningful journeys are often the ones that offer access to places and moments few people ever have the opportunity to experience.
I tend to return to destinations that continue to surprise me, even after multiple visits. Italy remains a favorite for its combination of culture, hospitality, gastronomy, and timeless elegance. I also find myself returning to French Polynesia, where privacy, natural beauty, and a genuine sense of escape are difficult to replicate anywhere else in the world. On the hotel side, I am drawn to properties that create a true sense of place. The best hotels combine exceptional service, strong local character, and a team that remembers how guests want to feel. Those are the experiences I seek for both myself and my clients.
