Travel style

I love a well-balanced blend of luxury, relaxation, and authentic local experiences. My ideal vacation day might include everything from spa treatments and Michelin-star dining to street food, art galleries, farmers markets, quirky boutiques, and beyond. As a wanderer at heart, unstructured time is also a daily must-have! Some of my best travel memories are the unplanned moments: strolling neighborhoods, discovering hidden gems, savoring delicious local snacks — spontaneity can be so magical (when part of a thoughtful, neatly planned itinerary, of course 😊).
