Samantha Dass

Three words to describe my travel style…: Cultural, Curious, Authentic.
My dream job is…: To work abroad for a tour operator as a destination representative and eventually operate my own business in the destination event planning sector.
The most exciting travel trend right now is…: Authentic experiences. Whether it be food, traditional ceremonies and festivals, or clothing, travellers are looking to experience real-life in a destination first-hand.
One thing I can’t travel without is…: A camera! Many people use their phones nowadays, but I still love capturing things with a real camera in my hands.
My favourite travel experience so far has been…: Exploring Italy. Travelling North to South, I was able to experience various cities off the beaten path and truly immerse myself in Italian culture. I admire their easy going lifestyle, food, fashion and architecture and would return to Italy time and time again!
On my next trip, I’m going to…: Backpack throughout Europe, starting in Portugal and ending in Istanbul.
