in conversation with
TRAVEL
Sun-worshipper or thrill-seeker?
For vacation I love being
anywhere that is sunny and
close to a beach! One of my
favourite places to visit is the
San Diego area. I have so many
great memories growing up and
learning to ride there – it will
always hold a special place
in my heart.
GOURMET
Top names or hidden gems?
Before a trip, I like to reach out to
friends who have been to the area
and get their recommendations
on local cuisine. I prefer to eat at
places that showcase local food
and culture – I definitely prefer
somewhere casual with good
friends or family.
ARCHITECTURE
Classical or modern?
I find architecture fascinating, and
greatly appreciate the rich history
behind many of Europe’s big
cities. While I love learning about
the classical aspects of each
place I visit, I also enjoy the newer
buildings and urban landscapes in
areas such as the UAE or China.
It is very interesting to see how
more recent technical innovations
and trends contribute to design in
some of these cities.

away from the world of equestrianism
ENTERTAINMENT
Good book or big screen?
I always prefer to pick up a good
book. One of my favorite things
about being on the go is the time
I get to spend reading on flights.
It is a way for me to decompress
and connect with a story or learn
about a new subject. This is
one thing I always look forward
to during my time in transit.
FUTURE PLANS
Full-time rider or broader horizons?
Horses and riding will always
be a big part of my life, but I
am excited to be back in school
and to embark on the path of
becoming a physician.
