Michael Schumacher

OT: Which is your favourite destination in the world?

Michael Schumacher: I don’t really have a favourite destination — considering the amount I travel because of what I do. I like to head back home, whenever I can. My home, really, is my favourite destination.

Prabhas

OT: What does a holiday mean to you?

OT: What do you do when you visit a new place?

Prabhas: I do read up about what to do—even if I am going there for work and know there may not be time to roam around. I a

A riot of the fuchsia-mauve Thunbergia coccinea or sera bel or Mys

Gal Gadot

OLT: Which is your favourite hotel in the world and why?

Gal Gadot: I was going to be partial and say that it was my husband’s hotel— Varsano. But since he has sold it off, I will choose two hotels from my hometown that I really feel people must know more about. So my favourite hotels are The Norman Tel Aviv (from $515; thenorman.com) and Hotel Montefiore (from ILS 1,420; hotelmontefiore.co.il). I love them because they have amazing restaurants, well-designed and well-laid out rooms, and the be
