What’s your favorite place of all the places you’ve travelled?
Kenya, and specifically Loisaba nature conservancy. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world where I feel most at peace looking out over the vast plains of Laikipia, Mount Kenya and watching the incredible wildlife. We work in some of the most complex and challenging countries where violence is a common occurrence. Loisaba is very special in that it grounds me, reminds me of the good that exists in this world and how lucky we are to be a small part of it.
