curating memorable experiences around the world
When it comes to resorts in the Pocono Mountains, there are quite a few to choose from. Big name water parks like Camelback and Kalahari are among the most booked family-friendly hotels. However you can also opt for casinos, apartments or secluded cabin stays. When it came to picking a location for my first family [...]
Touting some of the coolest hotels around the world, The Hoxton is a name you should know. The brand first opened in Shoreditch and, following an acquisition by Ennismore, has since expanded to cities including Berlin, Los Angeles, Paris and Rome. The latest outpost - The Hoxton, Shepherd's Bush - only opened at the end of [...]
As a fan of The Standard in London and New York, I had nothing but high hopes for the brand's second opening in East Asia. First launching in Hua Hin, The Standard opened its doors to the Bangkok hotel earlier in 2022 and I had the pleasure of visiting only a few months later. The [...]
I've been to New York a lot over the years, but this time was different. Armed with a hit-list of bars, restaurants, delis, coffee shops, activities and more, I set out to try the best that the city had to offer... and it wasn't cheap. What did I discover? Well, New Yorkers love a classic [...]
This summer, it seems that almost everyone has been weekending in Cornwall, Camber Sands and the Cotswolds. Out of all the Big C's? I headed to the latter. But with quaint villages overflowing with tourists and riverside spots spilling over with Instagrammers day tripping, I was relieved to have also booked at staycation at The [...]

Not only did I find my favourite Mexican food EVER here (we're talking mouthwatering tacos and epic frozen margaritas) but, there's also some of the most Instagrammable settings, fine dining picks and affordable brunches too. Take a look at my [...]
The best thing about small cities? Less walking between bars. Not only can you check out this Scottish city's top watering holes in just a couple of days, but the quality here is great. From quirky spots boasting regularly changing menus through to subterranean dens that shake up their own concoctions alongside the classics, here's [...]
A cultural hub for creatives, tourists and foodies, Whitworth Locke is an affordable hotel in Manchester city centre. Nestled bang in-between Piccadilly and Oxford Road stations - and coming in at around £100 for 2 nights - the design hotspot is a great rest stop for a weekend away. Here's what I thought when I [...]
As one of my favourite cities outside in the UK (after London + Brighton, of course), Manchester has got a lot going on. Cocktail bars? Check. Boujee clubs. For sure. And when that weekend hunger kicks in? There's brunch for that. From pared-back spaces to luxurious multi-storey restaurants, I've rounded up the best brunches in [...]
All work and no play? Not in my office. Last month, my team was lucky enough to go on a trip to Manchester and it was definitely a jam-packed 2 days. From swanky cocktail spots to quirky bars and impressive restaurants, here’s my top 3 things to do with 48 in Manchester. 🍴🍸🍴 1. Head [...]
