My travel cravings are for beaches, châteaux and extreme sport challenges. My earliest travel memory is from New York to Bali at the age of 19: 5 jets, 5 stops, siting in the back row of a Garuda flight (Indonesia's national airline), and everyone around me was smoking! I would spend my perfect day in New York because I can walk out of my apartment or office at any moment and there is always something new to do or see! I've had several great moments in New York, but I guess bumping into Bono at the Bowery would be my most memorable. I would stay at The Nomad. I love the up and coming neighborhood and its central location to downtown and uptown. But hey, who needs uptown? It's all about downtown! My other choice would be the Bowery Hotel.
