Travel style
I love to indulge in glorious rest. I specialize in serene, restorative travel. Think quiet beaches, luxurious spas, regenerative foods, refreshing drinks and dreamy beds. I'm keen on hidden, design-forward gems – the kind of place that's quiet now, but will be on everyone's list next year.
