Such a wonderful, wholesome experience at Finca La Zara in Gurabo, Puerto Rico - a family-owned and family-run farm and restaurant growing cassava, corn, pumpkin, peppers and just about any other fruit, vegetable or plant you can think of! Delicious! 🍅🥑🌽🍍

Reconfirmed that I love #NYC last week. Thanks to the lady who offered (unprompted) to take a photo of this solo traveller 📸

300 days! But I finished the @duolingoverde.bsky.social Arabic course over a month ago (did I kill the owl?). Have just been repeating the same phrases ever since. What next? Recommendations please 🙏 #langsky

Sunday Sunset in Athens #Αθήνα #acropolis

Had to leave my seat by this pool this morning because I was TOO HOT! Happy December #sorrynotsorry 📍 @acehotel.bsky.social in Athens

Sundaying 📍Kypseli, Athens

This city is filled with emotion. It’s not just about a new beginning; it’s about dealing with the past. People here say that when they took to the streets [13 years ago], what they wanted was a peaceful change. They wanted democracy. They wanted freedom - Zeina Khodr for @aljazeera.com 💚💚💚 #syria

One day I hope to be able to read some of these books in Arabic. For reference on how long it might be until I can, I am currently reading this… 🤣

Today’s morning coffee pilgrimage ☕️🎅 #athens #greece

They tried… I think?! Christmas at my local supermarket. 📍Athens, Greece

Goodnight from Athens, Greece. Sunset from my balcony this evening (and I feel the need to add: #nofilter)

"In the 1950s, Mykonos was a very different island. A place where barter deals – cheese for coffee, sausages for spaghetti – were the way of life. In 1979, George Daktylides became its third hotelier." Loved speaking to family-run Greek hoteliers for this Centurion piece, my first for the magazine.

My first job out of uni was on the editorial travel desk at BSkyB (now Sky UK). The handles on this app (xx.@bsky.xx) keep making me think everyone is an old colleague! Photo of me on the job in Mombasa, Kenya - in 2010!
