Holiday hotspot

Aditya Anand,
Musician

As a musician, I can work and chill out at the same time wherever I go. My dream destination right now is Brazil because it’s a beautiful country. Not only are the landscape and views absolutely breathtaking, but the people are really nice too. Brazil also has some amazing music, and its people appreciate good music. I’m sure I’ll go there sometime this year. Another place I’d really like to visit is Tibet. I feel a strong spiritual connection to the place and I’d like to go there to simply soak in its beauty and ambience.
