I'm interested in what makes different people and cultures tick. Sometimes that secret code is in their language, sometimes in the way they walk, or in something less tangible, not so easily described.
I learn languages (five and struggling to understand some German), I travel as widely as possible, and have been lucky enough to turn my passions into ventures. To follow my thread go to fluenz.com and soniagil.com

Adorable eco-cabin on East Hawaii Big Island.
Oceanside screen house with mahogany floors, hot outdoor shower, and a loft bedroom. It doesn’t really get much better than this.

Tschuggen Grand Hotel - Arosa, Switzerland
Located in the charming village of Arosa in the heart of The Swiss Alps, The Tschuggen Grand is an ultra-luxurious 5-star hotel boasting spectacular views over the Swiss Alps, 4 restaurants and its own express train that transports the guests directly to the ski slopes. The Bergoase spa, designed by Mario Botta, has been built into the mountainside next to the Tschuggen Grand Hotel. The huge stunning glass sails reaching out of the mountain were designed to channel the light into the underground spa which is constructed over four floors with an indoor and outdoor water world, beautiful saunas, treatment rooms, fitness area and a medical spa.

What if national newspapers reported on urban issues in an engaging and accessible way? In Chile, they do.
Izmir, Turkey, with the ancient city of Ephesus beyond - seeing that and the Temple of Diana at 18 set my mind aflame.
I totally thought that was a civilization VI screenshot. Got really excited for a second.
