Travelling In Style

It was the children’s author Roald Dahl who said, “And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” This statement pretty much applies to many tourists in that they fail to see the treasures hidden in some of the world’s most popular destinations in their desire to stick to better-known sights on tour. This certainly isn’t the case with Argentinian style and design influencer Sofia Sanchez de Betak who is also known as Chufy.

In her upcoming book Travels with Chufy: Confidential Destinations, Chufy literally travels the road not taken and takes readers on a fascinating journey that showcases beautiful destinations off the beaten path: a roster that covers off-the-radar places and out-of-the-way retreats unspoilt by commercial tourism.
