Wake-Up Time: 7 a.m. when I’m home, but when I’m traveling, I wake up early a few times to catch the sunrise.
Breakfast: Coffee
Workout: When traveling, my workout is simply exploring— getting my steps in while discovering new places.
Currently Listening To: At home, I keep it chill with Jack Johnson or Taylor Swift, but on road trips, it’s all about true crime podcasts like Crime Junkie.
Biggest Inspiration: Travel
Uniform: Boho-chic. I started my own women’s fashion brand, Cocopiña, two years ago, and now I wear my own designs almost every day.
Zodiac Sign: Taurus
Favorite Staycation: A beach sunset or a hike at Torrey Pines never disappoints.
Favorite Destination: Thailand will always have a special place in my heart.
Travel Essentials: My camera, phone and a power bank. My suitcase is always packed with flowy dresses from my brand, Cocopiña, and, of course, good sunscreen.
Local Haunt: Viewpoint Brewery for a great German-style Hefeweizen and Monserate Winery for live music and wine
Last meal on earth: French fries, no question
Best Advice: Always stay curious and open to new experiences. Travel has taught me that the best moments are often unplanned.
Mantra: Collect moments, not things.
Soulmate: My husband, Johannes—we’ve been together for over 20 years, traveling, creating and dreaming together.
Cocktail: A good beer
Dinner: Thanh Tinh Chay
Bedtime: Between 10 p.m. and midnight
On My Wish List: I’m finally going to Kazakhstan, which has been on my bucket list for years. I also dream of going to Bora Bora or Palau. On the business side, I’m focused on growing Cocopiña and making sustainable, high-quality fashion more accessible.
