What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

My most recent adventure stands out: Morocco and Madeira. In Morocco, I was completely swept up in the cultural immersion—the energy of the souks, the colors, the flavors, and the feeling of being transported into a completely different rhythm of life. Then came Madeira, which was the perfect contrast: lush landscapes, stunning mountain views, and a sense of calm that balanced the vibrancy of Morocco. Experiencing both back-to-back made me appreciate the beauty of travel’s duality—the thrill of cultural discovery paired with the grounding presence of nature. It’s that combination of energy and ease that stays with me long after I’ve unpacked my bags!

Which destinations are you looking forward to visiting? Why?

Up next for me is Costa Rica, Montana, and Verbier. For me, travel is always about flow—finding that balance between adventure, downtime, and a little indulgence. Costa Rica is calling for a family escape where we can hike to waterfalls, zipline through the jungle, and still leave room for quiet moments of pura vida beach vibes. Montana is the perfect backdrop for a girls’ getaway, where the agenda will likely include horseback riding, long hikes, and late-night laughs over wine by the firepit. And then there’s Verbier this winter—a dream luxury ski retreat where I’ll happily balance days on the slopes with nights spent fully embracing après-ski culture. Each of these trips reflects what I love most about travel: mixing the thrill of discovery with moments of ease.
