Gavin Eccles, Managing Partner GE Consulting & Advisory, says, "After a long week, there is no better way to de-stress than to take an long drive east of my home in Lisbon to the countryside of Alentejo. There I enjoy sitting on the veranda and looking out over the valley and up to a 13th century castle. During the lockdown, I took the opportunity to play a lot of golf and to reduce my handicap significantly. In India, I like visiting Delhi, as well as the beaches of Goa. Internationally, a short break to Lake Como is a must, as well as the opportunity for a round of golf on the plantation course at the Kapalua Resort on the island of Maui."
