What’s your ritual when you arrive in a new city?
I always leave my bags at the hotel and immediately head out for a walk. Then, I find a café (often one of many saved beforehand on Google Maps), I get a hot drink to go, and I set off to discover the city.
What’s your go-to outfit for the airport?
Definitely a sweatshirt and jogger set and a baseball cap! Comfy and casual.
What destination would you love to return to?
Amsterdam has a special place in my heart. I love its vibrant atmosphere, the people, getting a coffee along the canals and the welcoming feel of the city.
What can you find in Copenhagen and nowhere else?
It’s an absolutely unique place. It’s the very definition of hygge, which consists of appreciating and savouring moments spent with your loved ones. There’s a certain comfort in the everyday and in the art of making the little things of life more beautiful. It’s something you just don’t find anywhere else.
What’s your dream trip?
Japan’s been at the top of my list for years. The good news is that my dream is finally going to come true this autumn. I can’t wait to discover the culture, the food, the nature, the fashion and, of course, to hunt down the best spots to drink matcha in Tokyo and Kyoto.
