Quick Bites
A hospitality brand you genuinely admire?
Jumeirah for authentic Arabian luxury, Meliá for responsible tourism, and Accor for managing diverse brands at scale.
One mistake in travel you’re glad you made?
Booked my return from Singapore a day late—and ended up attending a Michael Jackson concert.
The travel buzzword you’re officially tired of hearing?
“Luxury” and “authentic” — often overused and rarely lived up to.
Your go-to travel hack that always works?
Rolling clothes—it fits more into a cabin bag, every time.
If travel had a theme song, what would yours be?
“Mujhe bin bataye, tu le chal kahin.”
