Architect Margit Argus shares travel advice from years of globe-trotting adventures

Margit Argus is an architect and interior designer who founded  Studio Argus, one of the Baltic region’s buzziest practices. Its accolades include a nomination for the EU Prize for Contemporary Architecture. The 41-year-old’s upcoming projects include work with Tallinn Airport and a boutique hotel and spa on the country’s second-largest island, Hiiumaa.

She toggles between Finnair and Lufthansa as her airline of choice, notching 20,000 miles or so per year in the air. It used to be more. “I do mostly Europe flights right now, unlike when we lived in New York,” Argus says. She loves Finnair’s reliable in-flight internet service, and there’s a personal upside, too. “The Finnish language sounds like Estonian, so I feel like I’m at home there,” she says.
