What is your travel style?

Most of the time, I wear comfortable clothes on the plane, which include yoga pants, a tank top, my favorite oversized sweater and sunglasses. I carry an oversized LV tote bag with me. It holds everything. I love traveling Internationally. I enjoy the experiencing the varied cultures, shopping, food and nightlife. I always pack my essentials, which include beauty products and enough core pieces to mix and match outfits for day and evening.

What has become your favorite destination?

I have so many places that I’ve been too that I absolutely adore. One of my favorite destinations would have to be Shanghai. The building structures are amazing and unique.
