Name a more iconic duo

What a night at the @travmedia.bsky.social awards! Amazing honour to be nominated for Luxury Travel Writer of the Year amongst such brilliant writers and editors - congrats to Uwern Jong for his much deserved win ✨️ #TravMediaAwards

Fascinated by the Ben & Jerry's vending machines at airports (especially where they're placed). Who exactly wants to buy a little tub of ice cream at the gate before boarding? Or, even stranger, at the baggage carousels? Has anyone ever seen this in action?

Delighted to discover that I've been nominated for Luxury Travel Writer of the Year at the @travmedia.bsky.social awards! Congrats to all the other finalists - very much looking forward to the big night ✨

The cutest housewarming gift

Great night at the Inspire Global Media Awards. Missed out on the Consumer Online Feature of the Year this time around, but it was wonderful to spend an inspiring evening with some of the biggest talents in positive impact storytelling. See you next year!

Excited to discover that I'm a 2025 Inspire Global Media Awards finalist! My Adventure.com article on pox, the ancient Mayan spirit making its way from Tzotzil ritual to the international bar scene, has been shortlisted for Consumer Online Feature of the Year, Latin America & The Caribbean ✨

Thrilled to get a sneak peek of Templeton Garden ahead of its official opening in Earl's Court this spring. It's going to be a gorgeous addition to the Miiro Hotels portfolio, featuring 156 rooms, a restaurant, cocktail bar, café/deli - and an amazing garden.

Finalising the last story of the year before I hit the pub 🎄

Thrilled to have had a piece published in the wonderful Off Assignment literary magazine in New York.
