What Is Your Favourite Travel Destination/ Experience & Why?

I’ve been fortunate to experience many unforgettable travel moments, but Portugal holds a special place in my heart — it’s my home away from home, where much of my family still lives. Just a short journey from Spain, I’m drawn to the rich culture, vibrant people, music, and beautiful beaches of the Iberian Peninsula. A true Francophile at heart, I also have a deep love for all things French — from the language and cuisine to the timeless elegance of its cities and countryside. Another passion of mine is Mexico, where I lived for two incredible years. I fell in love with its deep-rooted traditions, stunning cenotes, and the warm, colourful culture that makes it so uniquely captivating.
