Provenance

Oakland, California

Aisle or Window

Aisle! Though I prefer to look out the window, I hate to ask people to move if I need to get up from my seat.

Hidden Gem

Hell or High Water Speakeasy

Ideal Sunday

If at home in Kentucky, church with my son and daughter in law, a long walk at Shaker Village in Pleasant Hill followed by family dinner makes for an ideal Sunday. It is a joy to spend time with my adult children! If I'm on the road and on my own, my Sundays include a long walk, a peek into local churches and museums and an early cocktail and dinner, preferably with a great sunset view!

Travel Item

Compression packing cubes and Cadence toiletry capsules.

You Must Know

The (Un)known project on the banks of the Ohio, commemorating the lives of enslaved African Americans who sought freedom across the river in Indiana. It's an incredibly moving place.

Bucket List

It's a toss up between the Zhiwa Ling Lodge in Bhutan and the Tierra Patagonia Hotel in Chile. Places where the landscape is integral to the lodging experience.

My Role

Meeting fascinating guests from all over the world!
