Favourite city?

Without a doubt, Hong Kong. I never really appreciated it when I first moved back from the UK. I lived on Hollywood Road for five years and felt trapped in a bubble. Everywhere I went was within a two-kilometre radius – eat, sleep, work, play – I was losing my mind. It wasn't until I lived in Singapore for two years that I missed Hong Kong and realised that it truly is the best city in Asia. I know it sounds cheesy, but I really am grateful.

Favourite restaurant?

The answer to this question depends on what I’m currently craving, and that’s a quintessentially British Sunday roast – roast beef, yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, plenty of gravy, the works! My favourite restaurant for this is aptly called Roast at Borough Market in London. Not only do they source the freshest ingredients from the bustling market below, the restaurant itself is aesthetically pleasing – simple, clean and minimal with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in a lot of natural light, even on gloomy English days. Everything on the menu is divine, I’ve never had a bad meal here. The crackling pork belly with apple sauce is also the bomb.

Favourite outdoor activity?

Hiking. Boating. Exploring. Hong Kong has the most breathtaking views and what better way to appreciate it than by seeing it from the water or up in the mountains. Also it’s fun!

Favourite store?

Lane Crawford. I love everything about it, they have executed it perfectly down to a tee. Browsing the clothing racks alone brings me joy. But of course, the benefits of having a Platinum membership also help – access to the lounge for complimentary refreshments, complimentary make up services, and more.

For design or furniture, I have loads! Indigo Living, Lala Curio, H.D. Buttercup, Organic Modernism, Tequila Kola…

Favourite holiday destination?

This is a tough one – I had the most hectic June. I was in a different city every weekend: San Francisco, Cabo (pictured), Bali, New York and Vietnam. Cabo and New York City were beautiful. However, I don't have a favourite destination per se. Each time I visit a new city I'm constantly enamoured by its unique beauty and charm. There's so much to discover and absorb which I like to do on foot. I also get overly excited and being a lover of a good itinerary, I want to see and do everything. The downsides – finding people crazy enough to travel with me to the most obscure places and feeling like I need a holiday from my holiday post-vacation!

Favourite thing about GuavaPass?

It's not a thing. It's the people. When Guava was first established everyone was a friend of a friend, which is what made it all the more beautiful. A group of like-minded people, passionate, driven… all of whom believe in what we were trying to achieve. It’s an absolute delight to work with each and every single person on the team on a daily basis and to appreciate the skills and talents each individual brings to the table. I've never experienced such great camaraderie and culture in the work place. Separately if I could give a shout out to someone on the team – a very special mention to my right hand woman Alexandra Mount who recently got married in Bali. Thank you for working with me and for keeping me sane!
