How often do you travel?
Depends on whether it’s for business or for a vacation. For vacation, I would normally do two to three trips a year.
Favorite traveling style?
I like diversity in my leisure travel. Beach resorts, historical destination or major cities all suits me well. Localized experience, mingling with locals and experiencing local food and culture inspires me.
Q: What do you always do after returning from a trip?
A: Years ago, I used to go straight back to work after a vacation. However, I sometimes found it tough to run straight back into work especially after a lengthy time out. Nowadays, I tend to give myself one or sometimes two days home rest or just a little bit of gym workout to recover from lengthy vacation. It’s a personal habit but it works well for me because when I return to work, I feel recharged.
Q: What do you always search for during a trip?
A: Local food, local handicraft, famous landmarks, street-style restaurants if they have.
Q: What do you always pack?
A: Mobile phone, camera, watch and local map.
Q: What is your preferred airline?
A: It depends on the destination really. I personally like Emirates Airline and Cathay Pacific.
Q: Do you have any tips about seating on a flight?
A: I like to seat near the aisle because I have long legs. Besides, it’s easier to go to the washroom when nature calls.
Q: Best in-flight meal or activity?
A: If you’re in business class, the meal is definitely better without a question. For long haul, I like to stretch and walk a bit. Watch in-house movies too. I rarely sleep on a flight.
Q: How do you get over jet lag?
A: I’m not good at that but I try not to sleep on flight and when I reach my destination, I’ll feel sleepy enough to go for early rest. If I still cannot sleep, I will try to work out to tire myself.
Q: What are your favorite hotels? What makes these hotels so memorable?
A: My favorite hotels for personal travel are those small independent boutique hotels that still retain their original charm and DNA. For work or business, without a doubt, it’s a Marriott hotel.
Q: What do you value most when choosing a hotel?
A: Clean, bright room, great personalized service and location.
Q: What hotels do you look forward to staying at in the future?
A: The Cotton House, Autograph Collection. The quintessential Autograph Collection hotel!
Q: Recommend one of your favorite destinations. Why is it so special?
A: Australia. Beautiful, stunning views, friendly people and great weather.
Q: Best/must purchase in Australia.
A: I’m more for food, so good food counts. Handicrafts too. It depends on which cities in Australia.
Q: What do you do upon arriving Australia?
A: Check for food, where and what to visit.
