Since you live in Paradise where do you go to vacation?
I love Bali. However when I need a break I frequently visit Europe. I tend to visit Spain, Italy. London and New York are some of my favorite destinations to visit.
Can you give us a sense of what a day in your life is like?
It is wonderful to wake up in a tropical garden! I try to have a relaxed start, and then you never know how the day will unfold! Since we work with international clients, we have demanding schedules. However at the end of the workday I enjoy my walks by the beach and enjoy dinners outside.
What are the must go ?to local spots you would suggest every globetrotter visit in Bali?
I think restaurant wise, there is a very nice offering now. I love Mamasan and Merah Putin, Indonesian fusion design. I still love Ubud and have a relaxing days in Pemuteran which is in the north west part of Bali.
What are the three items you are most coveting from L-atitude?
I love the Adele Dejak bags collection, Namu stingray bags collection and of course my Sonket bags collection too ;-)
