A treasured travel souvenir?
A woollen cap I bought in New Zealand — it was my first international trip so it’s very special.
If you could time travel, which year would you relive?
I’d actually like to time travel into the future, not the past.
A destination that completely surprised you?
Saudi Arabia.
What’s your hidden talent?
I’m a classically trained dancer. It’s something that keeps me grounded, expressive, and connected to my roots.
An advice you would give to your 18-year-old self?
Don’t rush to have it all figured out. Life unfolds beautifully, one chapter at a time.
A travel trend you wish would disappear?
“Doing it for the gram” travel. Travel should be about stories, experiences, food, people, and real moments — not just perfect photos.
