I write

What I write about

Luxury Hospitality

Hotel and resort reviews, often as one of the first journalists to visit a new property. Long-running interest in family-run, boutique and independent properties as well as global luxury brands.

Destination Features

Spain and the Mediterranean, with regular visits to Morocco, the Caribbean, the UK, and most recently Japan, South Korea and China.

Gastronomy

Restaurant features, chef profiles, and regional culinary events.

Wellness and Slow Travel.

Spas, retreats, walking and cycling, the antidote to fast-paced luxury. Family-run, soulful, local.

Andalusian Culture

The provinces, artisans, festivals, wine, gastronomy, and the fascinating history that sits under the modern destination.

Selected features
