BOTH PAGES: AMAN TOKYO; VENICE-SIMPLON-ORIENT-EXPRESS This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? There are so many, but the VeniceSimplon-Orient-Express luxury train is high on the list. Otherwise, anything AMAN, Tokyo and the newly opened New York location are the next I’d love to visit. Where will you be travelling to this summer? Either Italy or Bodrum. Last year was the first time I visited The Amalfi Coast and Capri is definitely hard to beat!

This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? It’s been already a few years, but I still have fresh memory of my top favourite travel to Chilean Patagonia after crossing the Atacama Desert (the driest place on earth) in a campervan. Such a unique experience that it had made it difficult to consider discovering new destinations – yet, I have to add The American Southwest, Iceland and Svalbard and Lofoten Islands in Norway to name a few. Where will you be travelling to this summer? This summer I’d like to visit a new destination with a bit of everything: history, culture, gastronomy, nature, beaches, music festivals and above all, affable people: Portugal.

This is The Travel Issue – which locations are top of your travel list? I’ve been lucky enough to travel to some incredible places over the years, but I have yet to visit Vietnam which has been at the top of my bucket list for years. I’d also love to go to South Africa, Namibia, The Amalfi Coast and Mykonos! Where will you be travelling to this summer? I’ve got quite a few trips planned over summer. I’m heading back to Barcelona, I first visited in 2013, so I’m really excited to go back (and this time it’ll be on a bit of a bigger budget than when I was a student!). I’m super excited to stay at the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona – it’s the perfect location in the heart of the city and is easy walking access to all the best spots to visit and restaurants. I’m also ticking off a bucket list destination by going to Mykonos for my best friend’s wedding. Oh, and New York City!

I always have immense love for The Amalfi Coast as this is where my husband proposed to me. As I’m always craving a piece of Italy, this is the perfect place to visit with beautiful scenery and refined backdrops. Another place on my list is Puglia, as its raw and authentic. Where will you be travelling to this summer? I’ve been browsing the internet for some gorgeous hidden spots in Bodrum, Turkey. I plan on taking my family there to enjoy some beautiful time off on this island. I also plan on visiting London this summer to spend a few weeks with my family and escape on a romantic holiday with my husband so we can experience something new.
