In this episode, we talked to Jeremy about what makes working in travel a very attractive choice for young professionals and how he transformed his interest in travel into his livelihood. We also talked about the glamorous and not-so-glamorous aspects of working in the travel industry and traveling in general. And as someone who leads the brand strategy and PR initiatives for a luxury hospitality brand like the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Jeremy argues that “luxury travel” is accessible to anyone no matter their price point is.

In this episode, we talked to Elaine about the interior design process from client consultation & concept presentations to scouting, procurement (of furniture, decorative lighting, textiles, and more), and design implementation, and how it’s taken her to different parts of the world. And because we’re on The Escape Issue, we’ll find out Elaine’s recommendations on what the best cities are to visit for design and creative inspiration.
