What’s your go-to luggage and why? ForFashion Week in January, I used my large North Face Base Camp roller. I’m a soft-sided fan because I think they last longer than hard cases, especially if you travel a lot and your bag gets bashed around. Plus, you can always squeeze in that little bit more if needed. My carry-on is always my trusty Porter Yoshida Force 2 Way Tote Bag in navy. It has lots of pockets to keep things organised and is big enough to comfortably fit my laptop and other essentials.

What inspired your move to Lisbon? My wife and I had been living in Los Angeles for four years when the pandemic began. We both moved to the West Coast after ten years in New York and settled in, had a daughter and embraced the SoCal lifestyle—albeit with all the typical gripes about cars, traffic, isolation, sweat pants, etc. After a month of lockdown, we skipped town and spent four months on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, where my wife is from.
