I lived in southern India doing an Ayurvedic apprenticeship, and that is positively one of many locations that I’d like to discover [again]. It’s a lot of India in a single place, I feel. Southern Indian delicacies is so totally different than northern, which is plenty of what I get once I’m in London. It is the birthplace of Ayurvedic drugs, a holistic, jap outlook on drugs and therapeutic. I used to be there as a result of my dad had ALS, so we took him to a wellness heart to experiment, and I discovered it so fascinating. It additionally has a ton of beautiful temples which can be architectural feats. It is an attractive place. I didn’t get sufficient time there.

How she manages the strains on the airport gate:

I do not prefer it when folks begin lining as much as the gate early, as a result of it at all times makes me really feel like I also needs to line up. Then, as a result of I’ve waited so lengthy, I do know that I will find yourself in the back of that line. I at all times need to make it appear as if I am the neatest individual within the room, like I do know one thing that they do not know, so I sit in defiance till the final second. It at all times signifies that my carry-on goes to be checked. It is like psychological warfare.

The 2 cities she may go to one million instances and by no means tire of them:

Nairobi and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Each have such superb meals and totally different pockets of life, making them these endless fields of discovery. Nairobi has such superb markets and nightlife, superb music. I am clearly an enormous fan of music! I feel that is the primary factor that I get pleasure from once I journey someplace—if I can dance and benefit from the nation by my ears. Kenya has a few of the biggest music popping out of jap Africa, I feel, and Nairobi is the beating coronary heart of it.

The 2 most superb inns she’s ever skilled:

One is the Governor’s Camp Lodge, this superb tented camp within the Masai Mara in northern Kenya. It is beautiful as a result of often, while you go on a safari, you’re in a secluded space, and this lets you be absolutely immersed with nature. You’ve gotten zebras coming as much as your room! It has a extremely smart way of encompassing structure with the pure environment in order that it would not disturb. It is considered one of my favourite locations. I like sport drives and seeing animals; I feel it is such a blessing.

After which, I by no means acquired to remain right here, however I acquired to tour it: Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, had this estate in Jamaica, and it is the place Dr. No was filmed. It is probably the most lovely property I’ve ever seen. You’ll be able to keep in it, but it surely prices an arm and a leg. I’m a large fan of James Bond—I grew up watching all of these movies—so there was a nostalgia to it.

The resort amenity she adores:

I like when a room comes with slippers. I will take them each time. And I like a free breakfast with so many choices. It is simply the right approach to begin your day, and at all times makes me really feel like a queen. 

The place she’d prefer to go subsequent:

I’d like to journey all through Brazil. My father used to reside there and he would at all times rub it in my face, how superb it was. Since he is Nigerian, he advised me in regards to the Nigerian inhabitants taken there throughout the slave commerce, and what that has manifested into now. It’s very totally different from any of the diasporic communities that I have been to, in order that’s one of many principal issues that attracts me there. I’ve additionally been in love with Brazilian music, Brazilian espresso. I like Carnival and the seashores and the flicks that come out of there—Metropolis of God was considered one of my favorites—so I’d love, love, love to have the ability to go to Brazil.
