1. Fave City in the world: Hong Kong… the world’s best skyline, an incredible buzz, beautiful beaches and epic walking trails.

2. City or village? City… but small ones that you get to know are the best! 

3. Beach or Snow? Beach… eating great food with sandy toes….

4. Please complete the sentence: Traveling is like… the biggest box of diverse chocolates in the world, and without those horrible orange creams. 

5. What would be your ultimate pocketvillage adventure? Nepal. I’d love to hike to Everest Base Camp via the Gokyo Valley.
