In this photo…After a winding, heart-pounding drive, I relished the moment—and the otherworldly views—at Halealaka, a 10,023-foot-high volcano on Maui.From my last trip, I brought back…A carved wooden box with an inlaid gold elephant from Bali
My favorite cup of coffee is…A cappuccino from Bar Brunellesco in Florence
My most-prized passport stamp is…Argentina; my first time in Latin America and my first travel assignment
