About this episode

In this episode of the Culture Lounge podcast, recorded at Assouline's Mexico City boutique, Karla Martinez de Salas, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue Mexico and Latin America, and hotelier Kevin Wendle come together to reflect on the cities that have shaped them, and the one that continues to captivate them both. From the meditative stillness of Kyoto to the effortless sophistication of Paris, and the unhurried ease of the Riviera Maya, they trace the places that have left their mark, and what each has taught them about the art of being somewhere fully. The conversation turns to the enduring magic of the Mexican capital, a place of relentless creative energy and deep cultural memory.
