If you could time travel, which year would you relive?
2005—when I truly began to travel with intention, not just itinerary. That year, I realised travel wasn’t just about where you go, but how deeply you let it change you.
A destination that completely surprised you?
Croatia was a revelation.
What’s your hidden talent?
Sleeping like a baby on planes. Engines roaring, cart clinking, seat belt sign on—I’m out!
An advice you would give to your 18-year-old self?
Chase experiences, not outcomes. Let curiosity be your compass, and don’t pack your fears—or too many shoes.
A travel trend you wish would disappear?
The idea that travel has to be perfectly curated and constantly documented. The best moments aren’t always photogenic.
