Always in my carry-on luggage:

My essentials are a good book, noise-canceling earbuds, a large wrap that doubles as a chic in-flight blanket (and works just as well as a stylish layer once I land), and simple skincare basics — Evian mist, travel-sized moisturizer, and tinted lip balm — to stay refreshed no matter how long the flight.

Most underrated destinations:

There are beautiful small towns in popular Provence that feel off the beaten track — like Ménerbes and Lourmarin, hilltop villages with storybook charm, golden light, and none of the crowds of their more famous neighbors

On my bucket list:

Asia is at the top of my bucket list — I've had glimpses of it over the years, but never enough time to truly dive in. Japan's blend of ancient tradition and cutting-edge culture, Korea's incredible food scene and vibrant cities, Thailand's temples and warmth, and Vietnam's history and street food each feel like they deserve months, not days, to truly explore — and that's exactly why they're at the top of my list.

my most memorable travel experience:

For me, the most memorable travel experiences are where an incredible destination meets the right travel companions. I've stayed in a 16th-century Italian villa near Venice, where a friend who happens to be a chef turned several nights into family-style dinners — the whole group pitching in to prep the meal together. I've taken multigenerational cruises with my parents and my nieces and nephews, creating memories across generations that I'll always treasure. And I've stuffed myself with pintxos through San Sebastián with my fellow foodie friend, and taken countless girls' trips with my closest girlfriends, each one its own kind of unforgettable.

What ties all of these together is the company. The right travel company — whether family, close friends, or someone who shares your love of food — turn a good trip into a truly memorable one, and that's the thread running through every one of my favorite travel stories.
