LITHIA PARK, ASHLAND
OREGON, USA
‘I’ve become more interested in conservation land recently, and I’m thinking about where to invest, so I went up to Ashland. My dad had a poster of Lithia Park when I was growing up, depicting trees, ferns, and streams, and I thought it was the most beautiful place in the world. Ashland is surrounded by protected forests and turquoise waterfalls. Moreover, people there craft their own beers, wines, and coffees, forage for ingredients, and hold weekly markets that celebrate all the creations of the area’s artisans.’
AMANDARI
BALI
‘Bali is a conscious place – both in terms of sustainability and getting in touch with ourselves. There is a wonderful symbiosis between inner health and outer environment. The island boasts numerous incredible experiences; however, the Aman hotels, particularly Amandari, are special and also focus on community engagement. I stayed at Amandari while working back-to-back modeling jobs when I was 19. I still remember the locally crafted woodwork – it’s essential that architecture takes the setting into account.’
CAFE GRATITUDE
LOS ANGELES, USA
‘I’m fortunate that when it comes to restaurants in LA, where I’m based, eco-mindedness is quite prevalent – but my go-to is Café Gratitude. It has found a way to make unprocessed foods taste amazing. Try as many of the tonics and tinctures as you can. I live in Topanga Canyon, and Inn of the Seventh Ray is another favorite. It has a lovely outdoor space next to a stream. The canyon serves as a vibrant community filled with artists, musicians, and healers, all surrounded by stunning nature.’
