I gravitate toward charming villages, ancient history, centuries-old crypts, breathtaking scenery, incredible local food, and authentic experiences rather than rushing from one tourist attraction to the next.

When visiting a country for the first time, I like to explore a thoughtfully balanced mix of regions that blend history, culture, landscapes, and local life. I combine iconic destinations with lesser-known villages that are easy to reach and flow naturally from one stop to the next, giving me a well-rounded sense of a country while experiencing both its celebrated highlights and everyday local life. It's a style that leaves me feeling like I've truly discovered a place—and often inspires me to return.

I love trying something new on every trip—whether it's taking a cooking class in Tuscany, painting traditional azulejo tiles in Lisbon, or cruising down the streets of Funchal in a wicker toboggan. I'm just as happy wandering ancient ruins, exploring sea caves, or discovering a quiet village tucked away from the crowds.

I always leave room to wander, slow down, and let a destination reveal itself.
