How did you get involved in travel?
"It has always been about tourism ! I have always know that i will orientate my studies and look for internships in the travel industry. I was so blessed to build experiences in Scotland and in Bali, then Camodia and Vietnam. Here I am, 10 years later, still as excited as I was on my very first day at the travel agency !"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Last autumn, I ventured to the Crozes-Hermitage region, a Rhône Valley gem known for its remarkable Syrah wines. The landscape was striking—rolling hills lined with vineyards and the iconic Hermitage Hill standing proudly in the distance. I visited a small, family-owned winery nestled at the foot of the hill, where the rich, peppery aroma of Syrah filled the air. The winemaker welcomed me with a glass of deep, ruby-red Crozes-Hermitage, full of blackberries and spices. As we toured the cellar, he shared stories of the terroir’s influence on the wine, from the granite soils to the Rhône’s cooling breezes. Later, I enjoyed a traditional lunch overlooking the vines, paired with a bottle of Marsanne. The warmth of the Rhône sun, the earthy complexity of the wines, and the sense of timeless tradition left me with a deep appreciation for this special place."
