Favourite travel destination: The Rocky Mountains, North America

Why? Whether it’s hiking, wildlife spotting or just soaking in the majestic views, the Rockies are a perfect escape into nature’s beauty.

Most memorable travel experience: I’ve been fortunate to enjoy countless unforgettable experiences, but a few stand out as truly magical. Swimming alongside majestic whale sharks in the crystal-clear waters of the Philippines was extraordinary, but nothing compares to the awe of encountering a massive bull moose on a secluded trail in Glacier National Park, Montana. Moments like these are what make travel so incredible.
