Fabulous wine, tasted exactly where it grew.

Standing in the vineyard, glass in hand, hearing directly from the person who made it why this particular hillside makes it taste like this.

That's what next August looks like.

I'm hosting a small group through Provence and Burgundy, eight days built entirely around eating and drinking exceptionally well. Roman ruins in Arles. The pope's old walled city in Avignon, minutes from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Vineyards climbing straight up from the river in Hermitage. Lyon, the food capital of France, no contest. A 600 year old wine auction still funding a hospital in Beaune. All of it from Uniworld's S.S. Catherine, our home base for the week.

You don't need to know a thing about wine to come. If you do, even better, there's plenty here to geek out on.

This isn't a ""stick together for eight days"" kind of trip either. Come for as much or as little of the group plans as you want.

If any of this is speaking to you, don't sit on it. Send me a DM or grab the link in my bio, I'd love to talk you through it.

I just got back from Singapore and the food and drink scene is genuinely next level. Here’s where to go. 🇸🇬

🍽️ Odette — one of the most celebrated restaurants in Singapore and one of the rare three-Michelin-star experiences that actually exceeds expectations.

🔥 BurntEnds.SG — a one-Michelin-star wood-fire barbecue restaurant, and getting a reservation is nothing short of a miracle.

🍸 Jigger & Pony — Singapore’s top-ranked cocktail bar. And be sure to check out their new cocktail concept, BOP.

🌿 NATIVE — a shophouse bar built entirely around regional spirits and locally foraged ingredients. Zero-waste and genuinely original.

🍹 Nutmeg & Clove — a heritage cocktail bar where every drink tells a story about Singapore’s culture.

✨ ATLAS — one of the most spectacular bar interiors in Asia. A grand Art Deco lobby with a three-storey gin tower.

🍹 LongBarSG — if it’s your first time, yes, go and have a Singapore Sling.

🍚 Maxwell Food Centre — Ah Tai for chicken rice, Ah Zhong for char siew.

🍧 Old Amoy Chendol — a generational stall at Chinatown Complex serving only chendol, from scratch, daily.

🏮 The Intan — a private Peranakan heritage home-museum. Tours culminate in authentic tea sessions and dinners. By appointment only.

🍞 YY Kafei Dian — handmade kaya buns, pillowy and fresh-baked daily.

🍞 Ya Kun Kaya Toast Singapore — the classic charcoal-grilled kaya toast. Thin, crispy, and the benchmark.

📍 Save this for your Singapore trip and reach out to plan the details — link in bio.

Hot take: your transfers are not where you’ll save on your overall trip budget.

Please, do as I say, not as I did on this one. Way back when, planning my own honeymoon, I thought I could save a bit on my overall budget by booking a sedan instead of a van.

We rolled up to Le Sirenuse in Positano looking like a full-blown clown car. Suitcases in the trunk, the front seat, our laps. A lesson I only needed to learn once (the hard way).

Save your on budget elsewhere on the itinerary. Not on the ride that gets you to that bucket list hotel.

What is your funniest transportation mishap? Please share in the comments!

It’s officially here - my summer reading list! And yes, I paired a drink with each one (because we all know that’s who I am at this point). Some are new, some are old favorites I go back to every year, but this year I’m TRYING to steer clear of ten variations on the same beachy rom-com... I’ll let you know how that goal plays out!

Tell me in the comments, which one are you starting with?

Every client gets the same download from me before they leave for France. Assume you need a reservation everywhere, even the small wine bar, since the best tables run on fixed seatings. Say bonjour the moment you walk in, switch to bonsoir once evening hits, and leave the snacks and the volume off the metro. The check won’t come until you ask, and the market vendor picks the produce, not you.

This is the France I plan around, find me in the bio.

Tokyo doesn’t do anything halfway — least of all food and coffee. Here’s where to find the best of both.

🍤 Tempura Motoyoshi — Two Michelin stars, eight seats, one course. The best meal of my trip and the one you need your concierge’s help to book.

🍣 Tachiguizushi Akira — Standing Edomae sushi in a Shimbashi basement, from the same source as introduction-only Sushi Shoryu.

☕ Koffee Mameya Kakeru — A coffee omakase in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa. What Michelin-starred dining is to food, applied to the cup.

🍕 Pizza Marumo — A 24-hour fermented dough going into a wood-fired oven in Ebisu. Top ten in the world, and it shows.

🌿 Fuglen Sangubashi — Norwegian coffee in a renovated Japanese home near Meiji Shrine. Order the Kokekaffe and stay as long as they’ll let you.

🥂 Sézanne — Three Michelin stars at the Four Seasons Marunouchi. Dress code enforced; Champagne list exceptional.

🍮 Ginza Petit Custa — Bite-sized castella cakes near Higashi-Ginza. Tiny, freshly baked, and gone fast.

🥚 Shouro — Third-generation tamagoyaki in the Tsukiji Outer Market. Get there at opening; the omelette sandwich sells out first.

☕ Tajimaya Coffee — A Shinjuku kissaten since 1964. Cash only, flannel-dripped, no phones. Ask the barista what to order.

🔥 Kushiyaki Senmon Sagoemon — Premium charcoal-grilled kushiyaki in Shibuya. Hard to book, worth the effort.

🍚 Yoshinoya, Haneda — The perfect send-off. A gyudon before you board, because Tokyo respects the meal even at departure.

Tokyo’s bar scene operates on the same principle as its kitchens — precision, craft, and an almost intimidating commitment to getting it right. From one of the most important botanical cocktail bars in the world to cocktail kaiseki and vinyl listening bars, here’s where to drink. 🍸🇯🇵🌿

🌿 Bar Benfiddich — one of the most important bars in the world. Botanical cocktails crafted from ingredients the bartender grows and forages himself. Watch his Instagram for when reservations go live each month.

🍸 — a Tokyo institution. Snag reservations for their basement location.

🥂 at the Four Seasons Otemachi — the best of French and Japanese hospitality, and an unmatched cognac collection.

🌃 New York Bar at the Park Hyatt — 52nd floor skyline views, live jazz, and a serious whisky selection.

🍷 in Ebisu — a must-visit for cocktail lovers.

🍵 — Japanese tea crossed with mixology. Prepare to be mind-blown.

🗼 — a whole different world, plus a great rooftop and Tokyo Tower views.

🎴 — cocktail kaiseki. Drinks structured like a Japanese tasting menu.

🎶 — a true vinyl listening bar with 3,000 records and great cocktails.

Most tourists visit Italy. Few actually experience it.

After years of planning Italy trips for clients (and honestly, too many personal trips to count), I’ve learned that the difference comes down to a handful of unwritten rules nobody puts in the guidebook. Which word you use when you walk into a shop. Whether you touch the fruit at the market. What it means when someone waves you into a restaurant from the sidewalk.

Swipe through for the things I tell every client before they go - the cultural nuances, the dining rules, and the small details that quietly separate a great Italy travel experience from one that stays on the tourist track.

If you’re ready to plan an Italy trip that actually gets you there, I’d love to help. Find my link in the bio.

There’s a version of the Cotswolds that looks like a dream…
and a version that feels crowded, overhyped, and logistically messy.

The difference? Knowing how to do it.

Think:
– Long, wine-soaked lunches at places like The Fox at Oddington and The Wild Rabbit (not just any pub)
– Timing villages like Stow-on-the-Wold so they actually feel charming, not chaotic
– Choosing stays like Thyme that completely shape the pace of your trip
– Booking restaurants like The Kingham Plough before they’re fully gone for summer weekends
– Stopping for a pint from Hawkstone Brewery and visiting Diddly Squat Farm Shop without it turning into a logistical headache

Because the Cotswolds isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about flow.
And that’s the part most people get wrong.

If a summer here has been on your list, I’d love to help you plan it in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and actually worth the trip ✨
