ISSUE 4: EDITOR’S LETTER
Jules Maury, Head of Scott Dunn Private
From the non-stop pings of our phones to the frenetic 24-hour news cycle, our modern lives often lack the chance for authentic connection – those moments when we’re caught up in the thrall of an extraordinary experience.
Encountering something for the first time, striking up a conversation with a fascinating stranger or stepping foot on untouched landscapes allow us to feel that sense of connection with people, with places and with each other. This edition of Passport explores how SDP creates those connections: from thrilling, conservation-led explorations that bond families, or a magical twilight tour of a private Venetian garden, to a doors-off helicopter swoop through the wilds of Kenya. These are the kinds of genuine connections that we love to curate at SDP – those extra-mile moments when eyes widen, hearts quicken and shared experiences stop you in your tracks.
So read on, be inspired and let’s plan your next adventure.
