About Richmond, she wrote that travel and celebrations share a common thread.

“Both invite people to step into new experiences, explore unfamiliar places and create memories that last far beyond the moment itself,” she said.
“When the two come together, they form something extraordinary. This is where vision, expertise and creativity transform an idea into an unforgettable journey.
