In your opinion, what’s the most exciting trend in travel right now and why? To me, slow travel, as it aligns perfectly with my own style of travel. There is nothing worse than visiting 5 countries in 5 days, like many tourism agencies used to sell. When travelling slow, you have the chance to really experience the countries and cities, and almost feel like a local.

What is one thing you can’t travel without? I could say my passport, my credit cards, phone, charger, etc. But in any travel, the most important thing is a curiosity of spirit and being open to new experiences, food and culture. This is what really drives my thirst for travelling.

How many countries have you visited? 15 countries.

Name your favourite travel experience so far: It is really hard to pick just one, but a very memorable one was visiting the Cailler chocolate factory in the Swiss Alps. The journey there includes a train ride up the mountains with the most beautiful views and, on arrival, the factory itself looks like a castle. At the entrance, the smell of chocolate is already very noticeable, and inside, such marvel happens.
