Interview

IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… going to church in the morning with my family, followed by a beach BBQ and watching the sunset.

MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… backpacking with a few girlfriends through the Annapurna circuit in Nepal. The mountains and sweeping views of the Annapurnas were some of the most incredible, untouched natural beauty I’ve seen in my life, and the people and culture carry such beauty.

THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… there are so many, but right now the Maldives would be pretty high on the list.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… creating a legacy for my clients and future generations… documenting meaningful memories for them to cherish forever. 

IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE…embrace this special season, because it may only come once. Your wedding day will be one of the best days of your entire life, spent with the people you hold nearest and dearest. Enjoy it well and live it to its fullest! 

I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… it’s such a thriving multicultural, metropolis central to many other countries within just a few hours radius. 

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… along the Big Sur Coast.

MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? I don’t have one, but movies I have enjoyed are Nomadland, Lion, classics like Lord of the Rings.

MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… there have been several, but my top three would have to be Bo 7 Mon in the OC, fish tacos from Tacos Ensanada in LA, and Thakali food from Thakali Banchha Ghar in Mahendrapul, Nepal.
