I like a certain level of luxury and comfort (who doesn’t?), I try to stay in high end places whenever possible. Most of all, I like places that have a soul – interesting and memorable and, as much as possible, unique. This is often how I choose what to do, where to eat, and what to see.

I have had amazing experiences in 5* hotels and Michelin star restaurants, but sometimes it’s the simplest off-the-beaten-path places and not-so-comfortable experiences that are the most exciting and meaningful, and the ones that stay with you forever.
