If you could choose a famous person to sit next to in a plane, who would that be and what question would you ask?

If I could choose anyone to sit next to on a plane, I’d pick Oprah Winfrey. As a specialist working in the world of copywriting, PR, and editorial work, Oprah’s interview style and her ability to deeply connect with her guests have been a source of inspiration for me as long as I can remember. I’ve always admired how she transforms everyday conversations into enlightening experience, something I strive to do in my own work too.

On a personal level, sitting next to Oprah would be more than just a chance to pick her brain about storytelling and human connection; it would feel like sharing a moment with a mentor who has profoundly influenced my creative journey. Her authenticity and perspective remind me why I love connection with people and interviewing people: from a CEO to a dishwasher of a restaurant. I imagine that even a casual chat during a flight could spark insights, new ideas, and reaffirm my passion for helping others share their unique stories.

Who is your favourite travel buddy and why?

My favourite travel buddy is my husband 😊. He is always in a good mood, stays calm when I feel a bit stressy (while packing our suitcases, rushing for boarding our flight, trying to find a nice restaurant on a busy evening..) and he loves to explore nice places to eat, try local food, and strolling morning markets, just like I do. Our travels are tasty journeys from departure to arrival, and back!

If you were a destination, which destination would you be and why?

If I would be a destination, I would be Südtirol in Italy: the Italian flair, love for life, good food, sunny days and personal connections in combination with Austrian ‘gemutlichkeit’ and grounded lifestyle.
