I recently donated a piano to create space for more art. I gained an entire wall to hang enlarged photos from my Journey’s, daily reminders of my best-loved experiences. The Moroccan afternoon under an Argan tree filled with goats dangling above my head, a baby goat in my arms, truly a Daliesque scene. Bhutanese women in a turnip field, their lavender garb matching the bushels of turnips.

I’m obsessed with the Venice Simplon experiences. Be wined and dined in meticulously restored 1920s dining cars, before raising sparkling toasts in iconic Bar Car ‘3674’. Between plush cabins and profound history, an astonishing journey awaits. The iconic train recently unveiled a new class of cabin called Suites. Eight suites built on two original train carriages from the 1920’s and 1930, with four suites in each car. Each have a private marble bathroom and lounge. Twenty-four-hour butler service enhances your Journey. Navigate through the opulent carriages to discover the enchantment that await aboard the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.
