Q&A with Prin

Gion, Kyoto

What’s your most vivid travel moment?

I took a small plane into Bequia and the whole experience was so surreal. I remember getting on a small plane that seated only 9 people. The captain was visible from my seat, and I could hear all his commands. As we lifted off the ground, I was super-excited to have a birds-eye view of St Vincent and the Grenadines. The small plane hovered over the sea, cruising the blue and green glistening water until the plane quickly approached the smaller Islands. My flight was from Barbados and so the plane ride took no longer than 45 minutes, but the experience was second to none. It was nice to be able to see the smaller neighboring islands as we approached landing — Mustique and Tobago Cays stood out for me and are just as beautiful from above as on land.

The Maldives

Where would you love to travel next?

I’d love to visit the Maldives next because I also love beach destinations. I've always been drawn to stunning coastlines, clear blue waters, and tropical islands. The Maldives also feels like the perfect next destination for me after exploring the busy cities of Japan.

Which book, film or artwork captures Japan the most?

My mother is a chef which means constantly comparing dishes and searching for recipes to improve our meals, and so naturally I was drawn to the ‘Caribbean Cookery Secrets’ which is a great recipe book for a variety of island cooking. Food is at the center of our hearts in the Caribbean and this book is a great place to start. It’s super helpful in flagging different names of dishes from different islands, and at the beginning of the book there is a helpful glossary of Caribbean utensils and ingredients.
