AsiaSpa - July-August 2017

JUST FOR ME

RZ: Reading a good book and quiet time on

a balcony is my favourite way to spend ‘me’

time. Of course a foot or full-body massage

is amazing as well!

UNFORGETTABLE EATS

RZ: There are way too many, but since I

recently returned from Spain, I’d suggest

Maison El Puente in Dúrcal! I got back from

Thailand a week ago and loved Harmonique

in Bangkok. Both left a good impression.

TRAVEL BUG

RZ: Whether for business, with family and

friends or alone, travelling makes me happier

and enhances my mental well-being. I gain

new experiences and memories, and it

teaches me to be more flexible, breaking

out my usual routine, while meeting people

from all around the world.

WHERE TO

RZ: Wherever nature is! Ancient cities,

underwater worlds, majestic mountains,

epic waterfalls and wildlife.

WAY TO STAY

RZ: I went to Spain and the US last year,

and mostly stayed at Airbnbs. It creates a

more social and authentic travel experience.

I love living like a local, but by myself or

with family and friends in our own private

space. Knowing your travelling needs and

choosing wisely may surprise you – most of

my Airbnb stays amazed me.

TRAVEL WARDROBE

RZ: It really depends on my destination, but

usually consists of lightweight, functional

yet stylish casual bags like the Kipling Art M

tote bag, sunglasses, swimsuits, comfortable

clothes, sportswear, hats, flip-flops, trainers

and a light shawl that goes with everything.

MY LOOK

RZ: I pretty much just throw on something

to fit the activity, but it also depends on my

mood. I would say a little ‘hippie hobo Rima

style’. I love earth tone colours.

MUST HAVES

RZ: GoPro, backpack/duffel bag and

resistance band.

PICK ME UP

RZ: I like body mists while travelling, for

their simple, refreshing smell.

DESERT ISLAND ESSENTIAL

RZ: I would probably bring my boyfriend or

a satellite phone.

SKIN SAVER

RZ: Moisturising is one of the most important

things you can do for your skin to keep it

hydrated because when there is adequate

water inside and out, skin looks healthier,

more vibrant and is less prone to wrinkles.

Especially as I’m always out in the sun,

sunscreen and foundation are important too.
