INTERVIEW 11

– You’ve got some photos from Dubai’s Zuha Island. and have become a big fan of The Chenot Method. I’ve been
Is it already open for booking? to Lanserhof, SHA Wellness Clinic, Clinique La Prairie,
– Not really. When I was invited to the opening ceremony, but no other clinic has captured my heart so much as Palace
I thought the resort was ready to accept guests. But on Merano. I know that today everything has changed there
arrival I saw the island was almost empty with a single villa and this very programme is available at Chenot Palace
available for the presentation. So, the works are still Weggis. Hope to get there anytime soon.
in progress, and we need to wait for their completion.

– What are you looking for in travelling nowadays:
easiness or new impressions?
– For me, it’s always inspiration. I am so used to spending
my time actively that if I get to a place with nothing to do,
I will get bored pretty soon.

– Are there places on Earth where you would like to make
a music video?
– Yes, in New York. The city’s energy is so overwhelming!
It is the exact place I’d like to live the life of a TV series
actress and create my own video story.

– How do you manage to enjoy the big city with its noise
and crowds of tourists? Can you share your lifehacks?
– Living in Dubai, I have been looking for the answer to this
question for a long time, since the constant flow of people
can turn your life into a continuous race and makes you feel
like you are always running late. To prevent that, I’ve learned
to keep some days for myself, I cancel meetings and events,
get a massage or go to a spa centre and simply recharge.
But first and foremost, I gave up wishing to be everywhere
and see everyone and started to set priorities, visit only
the most important events and dedicate my time only
to close people and things that really matter.
– Where do you usually go for retreats? What are your
favourite wellness resorts?
– One of my favourites is JOALI BEING. Previously,
I’ve stayed many times at Palace Merano for detox

It’s inspiration that I look for in travelling.
I am so used to spending my time actively
that if I get to a place with nothing to do, I will
get bored pretty soon.

– What are your top beaches for autumn and winter
holidays?
– Answering the question, I’ve understood that it’s time

to explore new exotic destinations. So far the best for me
is the Maldives. Also, I’ll always cherish memories

– Do you already have some plans for New Year?
– Unfortunately, I can’t make long-term plans, although
I love having everything arranged beforehand. Several
years in a row I celebrated New Year in Dubai, but now
I would like to have a real winter holiday somewhere
in the French or Swiss Alps. z
