What is your most memorable travel experience?

My first adult trip abroad to Italy where I spent 4 months navigating transportation, a new culture and language, and how to plan and travel without missing the best a locale has to offer. Spoiler alert – I missed a lot of the highlights in Italian cities and famously did not get in the museum to see the David in Florence.

Where do you dream of traveling next?

I dream of traveling to Chile and Argentina to explore the wine, culture, and nature of Patagonia.

What is your favorite hotel?

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore
