A bucket list destination for so many, few countries in the world carve such a deep, lasting impression on a traveller as India.

When did you first visit India?
I have been Euro obsessed for my whole adult life, so when I fell in love with India on a trip when I was 40, it was literally like falling in love with life again. That was 12 years ago, and since then I have been back 44 times and taken close to 400 women on my trips through The School. The School is a service for time conscious women who want to have the most elevated of times in India, Paris, Lamu Island, Byron Bay, Tokyo and Puglia.
What were your first impressions?
Radiant, expansive, guttural with thousands and thousands of years of beauty interwoven into the psyches, auras and architecture of the land.
What is one thing that every traveller to India should do, a must eat or must visit?
Being under India’s glow will help you find yourself again. I suggest no matter who you are or where you are staying, get out of the tourist traps and wander. The School specialises in Rajasthan, but I am equally as compelled to visit Southern India and the far North as well. In saying that, we have people who book with us the same trip to Jaipur three and four times, it is just that good! One of the most beguiling things about India is that it is so regional. So you can travel four hours outside of Jaipur and have a completely different experience, different colours, different customs, different language, different landscape, different food
What does a tour there with you look like?
If you can imagine getting off your flight and my car collects you and sweep you up and you never have to make a decision for the next six days. During those six days you are touched, moved and inspired in ways that you never thought possible – all through a stylist’s lens.
How would you describe India in a single sentence?
India is the messenger who meets you where you are at, and returns you to yourself.
