Most Memorable Travel Experience
One of my most unforgettable journeys was a coast-to-coast adventure across Australia. We started with world-class wines in the sun-drenched vineyards of Margaret River, then ventured to the luxury lodges of the Pacific Rim, where Australia’s most awe-inspiring wildlife awaited. We plunged into the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef before soaring over the iconic Heart Reef and Whitsundays in a thrilling helicopter ride at sunset. The adventure wrapped up on the lively Gold Coast, where we explored Surfer’s Paradise and indulged in the region’s exceptional coffee culture. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that offered an exhilarating taste of Australia’s diverse beauty and energy, and I cannot wait to have our clients experience it as well!
If your personality was depicted in a property, which would you be?
If my personality were to be depicted in a property, I would be Borgo Egnazia in Puglia. This stunning resort perfectly blends elegance with warmth, offering a serene yet vibrant atmosphere. With its sun-drenched landscapes, wellness-focused offerings, and rich cultural heritage, Borgo Egnazia embodies my love for both relaxation and rejuvenation, while celebrating the importance of a destination's heritage and transformative experiences. It’s a place where luxury meets tranquility, and that’s how I approach both travel and life — with a focus on balance, mindfulness, and creating unforgettable moments.
Best Travel Tip
Roll your clothes instead of folding them! Not only does it save space in your suitcase but also helps minimize wrinkles. For an added bonus, pack your rolled items in clear packing cubes to stay organized and easily access what you need without the clutter!
