Some Quick Facts…
- I’ve been travelling since I was 18-months old
- Yes, I really have personally experienced every place I review
- I’m not a trendsetter or tastemaker, but I like what’s novel and interesting
- I have a knack for choosing places not (yet) written about to death by every other blogger/magazine/media outlet
- It’s not unusual for a listing in Conde Nast Traveller or the New York Times Travel ‘hotlist’ to be a place I’ve experienced ages ago
- Sadly not every experience billed as luxury will deliver on its promise, hence the occasional rant (forgive me)
- I don’t spend hours and hours perfecting my blog posts, otherwise I wouldn’t get around to publishing anything
- I have high standards but don’t aim for perfection, which is why you’ll find the occasional typo or misspelling or broken link
- Most of my photos are usually spur of the moment and taken on my iPhone. No staging or retouching (and a few bum notes too)
- Sometimes I’ll get caught up in the experience and won’t take any photos at all
- If I go quiet for a while, blame it on the demands of my day job
- I’m a tale of extremes – give me a chaotic urban city or a private beach any day
- I’m never more happier than when planning an upcoming travel itinerary
- I won’t travel coach if a flight is over 5 hours. I just won’t
- I love a good wine and am known to be partial to bubbles (I don’t discriminate)
- My travel companion is almost always the other Mr. Highlife
