I love to travel.My best ideas are sparked when on an adventure. I write stories about my trips. They include destination features (like this one on Los Cabos), a design hotels series and reviews of new openings or old classics. I especially like discovering boutique retreats or characterful vacation homes. Below are some favourites.
