I have just returned from...

Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands
Nothing could have prepared me for the pristine and peaceful atmosphere of the Galápagos. The wildlife experiences are supreme and plentiful, from watching the blue–footed booby’s mating dance and seeing a rare sighting of a hammerhead shark, to witnessing the phenomenon of flying mobula rays and playing with sea lions. I still find myself daydreaming of my trip highlight: spending five minutes following a giant manta ray, as it glided elegantly through the ocean – magical!
My next destination is...

Morocco
I try to visit at least once a year to see my family and I can’t wait to go back to Tangier. This northern city has been getting a lot of attention recently thanks to a host of new hotel openings, including Fairmont Tazi Palace and Jasper Conran’s Villa Mabrouka, opening this spring. I’ll also be returning to explore the coastal town of Asilah and embarking on my first visit to the blue pearl, Chefchaouen.
