The Dolomites in Italy—particularly in early autumn, when the mountains take on a beautiful golden glow, and the pace becomes a little slower and more peaceful. I’m drawn to the combination of spectacular scenery, exceptional alpine hospitality, wonderful food and wine, and the opportunity to experience Italy from a completely different perspective.
Japan is a destination I return to again and again, and one I never tire of sharing with my clients. There is something incredibly special about the way Japan combines timeless tradition, extraordinary hospitality, beautiful design and some of the world’s finest food. Every visit reveals something new—from a hidden ryokan or exceptional restaurant to a neighbourhood I haven’t explored before. I love helping clients discover Japan in a way that feels personal, effortless and deeply memorable, and it is a destination I can wholeheartedly recommend from my own experience.
