Annie and Jack are back with a wide-ranging catch-up: why Geneva deserves a new look, the fairy-tale hotel in Switzerland that Annie's daughter is obsessed with, why hotels should just have Coke and Coke Zero instead of just the local soda brands, sourcing $450,000 watches, and we continue the conversation on why luxury brands are increasingly selling community and connection. They also get into the rise of “Betweeners\" and Annie's story for Elite Traveler and travelers living across multiple homes.
Then Annie sits down with longtime friend and Embark advisor Limor Decter, who entered the travel industry at 50 and earned just $87 on her first commission check. Ten years later, she reflects on the grit behind the glamour, the relationships that built her career, her famous “schlep factor,” why suppliers are the secret sauce, her love of Africa, and how her definition of luxury has changed along the way.
