Traveling solo to Australia for 2 weeks and hiking around the base of Uluru at sunrise.

Four Seasons Lana’i Hawaii. It’s hard for me to slow down when I travel, but this place did the trick. From unobstructed sunset views over the Pacific on the balcony, to fresh fish tacos hand-delivered by the pool, to Nobu sushi dinner al fresco, I was in heaven. Even the walk to our room through their outdoor hallways with exotic fish ponds and waterfalls felt like I was transported to a rainforest.

Nearly everything in Iceland. Some favorite memories: picking wild blueberries on a hillside, seeing the Northern Lights, and an ocean cold plunge with curious seals.

As my current home, I like to occasionally do stay-cations and for my 30th birthday I stayed at the Park Lane in a room overlooking Central Park. It is next door to the iconic Plaza Hotel, with recently renovated rooms and a storied history - it was the former residence of Leona Helmsley.
