Travel style
Drawing on diverse ecotourism experiences—from revitalizing tourist destinations post-disaster, to designing luxury resorts in the South Pacific, to crafting small destinations through storytelling—travel for me is a joyous deep dive into local culture. It's a personal journey guided by quality and aesthetics, with thoughtful impact as a baseline.
I adore slower travel, carving out space for those unplanned 'aha' moments that frequently become the highlights of any journey. The hotel? I obsess over it because it's not just a place to rest—it's a crucial part of the experience and an opportunity to leave a gentle footprint. So, whether it's a lavish five-star sojourn or an intimate local hideaway, I want to make every travel moment count, beautifully and profoundly.
