I really enjoy going to my father’s farm to escape the city. I especially love visiting the farm during harvest periods to help pick grapes and make wine as well as pick olives and make olive oil.

I have travelled to the USA (Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Tennessee), Europe (Italy, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain and the United Kingdom), Hong Kong and Bali.

If you could have a month-long holiday anywhere in the world, where would you travel to and why?
If I had the opportunity to travel for a whole month, I would travel along the Amalfi Coast in Italy because it’s a beautiful part of the world and it’s so relaxing.
