Which destinations or hotels do you go back to again and again? Why?

While it’s difficult to pick just one, there are standouts I would return to for their unique locations and exceptional service. In Napa, the Bardessono Hotel and Spa captures the essence of the region with its vineyard and environmental commitment to preserving the natural landscape. The Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea and Four Seasons Resort Nevis offer impeccable service, each set against stunning settings. And for a must-visit in London, The Connaught is a boutique gem with cozy rooms and a fabulous martini bar.

What has been your most memorable travel experience to date?

During our shared milestone birthday celebration, my childhood friend and I took an unforgettable trip to Spain. Our four-day stay in Barcelona allowed us to immerse ourselves in the city’s rich culture. From tours of iconic landmarks like Sagrada Família and Gaudí’s Casa Batlló, to memorable experiences like making paella and indulging in a traditional Flamenco show, each moment left a lasting impression. Our adventures continued in Mallorca, where we wandered the charming streets of Palma, savored a delightful lunch at La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel in Deià, and relished in a week-long wellness retreat on the breathtaking mountainous coast. This transformative experience was the perfect way to start a new decade, appreciating wellness and creating cherished memories.

Travel Tip

  • You don’t always need an agenda! When planning your trip, focus on one big activity or plan per day and build your itinerary around it. Be sure to leave plenty of unscheduled time for wandering and serendipitous discovery.
