A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
MOST MEMORABLE TRIP
A soul-stirring journey through India, where spirituality, colors, flavors, and rituals changed the way I see the world.
BEST TRAVEL TIP
Slow down. Travel is not about checking boxes, it’s about connection. Let yourself be present, open, and curious. The moments that stay with you are rarely planned: a shared laugh with a local, a quiet sunset you didn’t expect, or a feeling you can’t quite put into words.
FAVORITE BOOK
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. A reminder that all journeys begin within.
NUMBER OF COUNTRIES VISITED
40
DREAM BUCKET LIST TRIP
A long overland journey through Bhutan, Nepal, and Mongolia, combining monasteries, mountains, nomadic people and deep human connection.
FAVORITE QUOTE
“Travel is a way to ‘transport, transcend, and transform,’ but it is the time spent still that allows for the transformative part of the journey to take hold.” — Pico Iyer
BEST GIFT I EVER RECEIVED
A solo trip, my first one. It showed me independence, trust, and the beauty of discovering the world in my own rhythm.
MOST INCREDIBLE TRIP I EVER PLANNED
It’s difficult to choose just one: whether it was a deep cultural immersion in Japan, a wellness-centered escape in Costa Rica, or a slow-travel journey through Brazil or Bali, each trip I plan becomes unforgettable in its own way.
THE PERSON I LOOK UP TO MOST
My mom and dad, for their resilience and ability to always find beauty in simplicity.
CHARITY I SUPPORT
Local communities and environmental initiatives in the destinations I work with, especially sustainable lodges, local artisans, and projects focused on conservation and cultural preservation. I also volunteer supporting women entrepreneurs in South America.
