Fashion designer Wendell Rodricks and his partner Jerome Marrel have visited 150 countries. And they don’t intend to slow down. They talk to Shikha Pushpan about their dream destinations, travel quirks, and the art of dealing with fans on a holiday.
How many countries have you two travelled to together?
W&J: Between us, we have visited 140-150 countries of the UN’s 193 countries. We desire to see the rest of the countries too.
Which was the last trip you took together?
W&J: The recent trip was to Chennai. Anybody visiting the city should definitely plan to visit Kalakshetra (kalakshetra.in). We love India and are trying to explore as much as we can of this large, diverse country. Overseas, we went to Croatia last summer. Zagreb,
Hvar, Split, and Dubrovnik are fabulous, as are other islands and cities of the Dalmatian Coast. We went beyond Croatia to explore Paris, Reims, Épernay, Champagne, Milan, and Lake Como. The fact that we went around on private jets and stayed at the famed Villa d’Este in Lake Como made the holiday splendidly luxurious.
