A devoted traveler, Oveissi was married last year in French Polynesia.
Hawaii and spent her honeymoon in French Polynesia,
with Tahiti, Taha’a and Bora Bora among the islands she visited with
her husband. She recently did some island-hopping in Greece, exploring
Mykonos, Santorini, and Athens, and later in the year ventured down to
the Caribbean island of Barbados.
“When I am not working on real estate deals, I’m collecting passport
stamps. Iam inspired by other cultures, the architecture, the cuisine,
the lifestyle.”
Up next is a visit to Cuba with a group of close friends, followed by the trip
of a lifetime to celebrate her father’s 70th birthday in Africa. “We’re marking
his milestone birthday with safaris and motorcycle rides through a handful
of countries. It’s safe to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and
neither does the spirit of adventure.”
Closer to home, she spends the fall and winter months going out in
Manhattan, while the spring and summer are spent down on the water. Once
it’s warm, you can find her at the Jersey Shore, either hanging out on the
beach or boating at Tices Shoal. “I’m a total beach bum,” says Oveissi. “If it
was up to me, I’d be on the beach all day.”
She describes reading as her “escape,” and tries to read two books each
month. She also loves cooking, and always immerses herself in the culinary
scenes of the places she visits. Her specialty is Persian food, but be careful
about asking for recipes. “I cook with love and I usually wing it, so I can’t
re-create the dishes I make,” she jokes. “People always ask me if I can make
it again, and I can’t.”
At home, she likes spending time with her 100-pound pitbull, Damu.
