Best city or country you’ve ever travelled to and why?
Copenhagen. I’ve never been anywhere that made me feel so safe and like home. It was as if my whole nervous system relaxed the moment I arrived. There’s a calmness to the city that’s hard to explain, the way people move, and the balance between city life and nature. The aesthetic and style really aligns with my own. Even the small details like cycling everywhere, the clean design, and how people seem to prioritise wellbeing. It’s one of the few places I’ve been where I could genuinely imagine living and building a life.
Worst city or country you’ve visited, and why didn’t it work for you?
I wouldn’t say “worst,” but one place that didn’t quite resonate with me was Miami. It wasn’t that there was anything objectively wrong with it just wasn't for me. I didn't love the energy. Everything felt very kind of surface level. In Miami, it felt like everything was about going out or looking a certain way, which just isn’t me. It’s obviously fun in its own way, and I get why people love it but I left feeling drained.
Where in the world did you feel the freest?
Barbados. It’s tied to some of my happiest memories. I associate it with family holidays, so being there instantly brings me back to a time where everything felt simpler. There’s a familiarity to it that makes it easy to relax straight away. The sun and sea help too!
Best party city or country you’ve experienced?
Mykonos has got to be my favourite party destination. I love a beach club, and nowhere really does it like Mykonos. There’s something about spending the day, drinking and listening to music as the sun starts to set. Everytime I go I end up coming back fitter from all the dancing!
City or country with the best food overall?
Italy has always been my favourite place for food because of how simple and authentic it is. The ingredients are always fresh, and nothing feels overcomplicated. There’s a real respect for food, nothing is ever rushed and I love a long lunch. For me it's the really simple dishes like tomatoes with olive oil. Somehow the tomatoes just taste better in Italy…and of course the pasta. It’s basic but I love Spaghetti Aglio e Olio.
City or country with the best market/street food?
Barbados but not the tourist hot spot in Oistins (although I would still recommend going if you havent been). There are tons of other spots that are more local. My favorite spot is ‘The Caboose’ for a fish cutter and rum punch. It's so simple but so delicious. Cicis beach bar is also a favorite on the island. You wouldn't think much of a tiny little shack on the side of the road but it's some of the best food on the island I’ve ever had.
A city or country that surprised you the most?
LA surprised me the most. I expected it to feel quite superficial but it felt much more liveable and calm than I expected.There’s also something really inspiring about being somewhere that people go to fulfil their dreams. I came home feeling super motivated.
The most beautiful place you’ve ever seen.
Antigua. I’ve never seen beaches like it, the water is so clear, it almost doesn’t look real. Everything feels incredibly calm and untouched, nothing has been overdone or overbuilt.
The most overrated destination you’ve been to.
Dubai. I actually grew up in the UAE, so it still holds a really special place in my heart. But it’s not what it used to be. It’s changed a lot over time and while it’s still impressive in terms of scale and development, it feels so commercialised now. For me, it’s lost a lot of the cultural depth that made it feel so special. That said, a lot of my attachment to Dubai is still tied to the memories I have growing up in the UAE, which is what makes it special in a different way.
The most underrated destination you’ve visited.
Lisbon really surprised me, I didn’t have huge expectations, but I ended up loving it. It’s also super affordable for what it offers. Great great vintage shopping, which I wasn’t expecting.
Which city or country has the friendliest people?
Copenhagen. It’s one of the reasons I love the city so much and could see myself living there. Everyone feels genuinely kind. I think that comes down to a strong level of trust in society. There’s less inequality and a good quality of life. People also don’t seem as rushed or stressed, so interactions feel calmer and more genuine.
Which city or country has the unfriendliest people?
It’s a bit of a cliché, but I’ve got to say Paris. People can come across quite direct and not overly friendly. I think it’s more of a cultural difference than anything else, but it doesn't stop me from visiting.
Which city or country felt the safest for you?
Copenhagen. Please see my answer to [Which city or country has the friendliest people?], it speaks for itself.
A destination that pushed you out of your comfort zone in a good way.
New York. It was my first time in the city, and I was there for work, so I ended up spending a lot of time on my own. It pushed me in a really good way and I found myself being much more spontaneous, speaking to random people, and just putting myself out there. There’s something about New York that makes you feel like you can do that.
Where did you experience the strongest sense of culture or identity?
Hong Kong especially because I visited during Chinese New Year.The whole city felt connected to the celebration with decorations everywhere, I think what stood out most was the contrast between being such a modern international city that still had these strong long standing traditions. It made the culture feel very present.
A city or country with the chicest and most stylish people?
Milan. I visited during Fashion Week, which probably amplified it, but the whole city feels like it was on another level. People were so put together and intentional with their style. Ultimately I think Italians just do fashion best.
Which trip taught you something about yourself?
Ironically the party island, Ibiza. I went on a wellness retreat there last June which was held in a beautiful remote villa on south-west coast of Ibiza. The villa overlooked Es Vedrà which is a small island just off the coast that has a bit of a mystical reputation. People say it has a “magnetic” or spiritual energy. The whole experience of solely dedicating that time to my health and wellness really made me realise how much I need that kind of calm to feel like myself.
A hotel or Airbnb that felt genuinely special?
La Réserve in Paris is the most special hotel. I think what really makes it special is that it doesn’t try too hard. It’s luxurious, but in a way that feels intimate. The style is very much classic Parisian and elegant. There’s something about it that captures the essence of Paris as the city of love.
What’s the next city or country at the top of your list, and what’s pulling you there?
South Africa, specifically cape town. I hate to be one to follow the crowd but I’ve seen too many incredible sunsets on social media and heard too many good things not to go. I love the idea of spending the morning hiking and spending the rest of the day on the beach. But maybe it’s the wine vineyards that are really calling my name…
