Describe your next dream travel destination.
Dreaming of the wild + untamed shores of Corsica!
STAY – Domaine De Murtoli – a stunning, beach-fringed private estate that is located on the southern coast of Corsica.
Activity – Explore! The estate has mountains, rivers, and over a mile long private beach. John + I also love to harvest our own organic veggies from the domaine’s farm. Dinner in the chicest cave restaurant you have ever seen is also a must!
Also itching to get back to Italy… the reunion will feel like visiting a long-lost friend!!!
What books/blogs/podcasts/websites/Instagram accounts are getting your creative juices flowing?
My dear friend Meryanne Loum-Martin just came out with a stunning book with Rizzoli called Inside Marrakesh Enchanting Homes + Gardens and it has been providing loads of inspiration! It takes you into some of the most enchanting + jaw dropping private homes in Marrakesh. Second best way to see if you can’t be there in person.
My favorite Instagram accounts right now are @tat.london @and.delight.reigned @natgeo and @pcc_thegrove.
What is the #1 tip to make your home/bedroom feel like a lux room at The Dewberry?
Purchase The Dewberry Signature Candle! It is crazy how a scent can tickle your nose and send you straight away to faraway lands + trigger nostalgia.
We spent a year formulating this custom scent which is actually inspired by the southern dewberry plant. Our signature blend of Bulgarian rose, coastal botanicals, French myrrh, sandalwood and exotic spice can be found throughout the hotel and is used with all of our amenities in-room (soap, lotion, body wash, shampoo and conditioner).
You travel a lot between your different homes in Atlanta, Charleston, San Fran and Ireland. What’s some of your packing/traveling advice for all of us who are going to be jet setting as soon we are allowed to again?
Roll with it! It really is all about your attitude. No matter how well a trip is planned, plans can change, or things come up (i.e.—bad weather, delayed transport… etc)… I think it is important to have an explorer’s mindset. You never know, sometimes Plan B is better than the original!
Travel Mantra: Do as the locals do! - Truly the best way to see any place... John + I have that mantra/mindset no matter what country or village!
Travel Product: Comfortable shoes + ABP MAKEUP’s “Woke Up Like This” or “Wifey” lip sheer
