I love Zermatt in Switzerland and have been visiting the region since I was a young child. I never get bored of its natural beauty as the quintessential postcard Swiss alpine town with the majestic Matterhorn as a backdrop. I’m also a fan of its world-class restaurants and legendary Swiss hospitality – to me, these are all the ingredients for a magical destination.
I’m also a regular visitor to Mexico City for its culture, delicious food, and friendly people. It quickly became one of my favourite cities in the world and I find myself returning often to stay up to speed on its forever-changing culinary scene
I’m looking forward to returning to Japan. I find it to be such a fascinating and unique destination that offers something for almost everyone from its artfully-prepared food to its famous powder snow for winter sports enthusiasts, plus, its culture, history, and beautiful scenery. It also offers some of the best hotels and restaurants in the world.
