Review: The Kings Arms, Hawkshead, Lake District, UK

A haven for locals and visitors for generations, The King’s Arms takes centre stage in the Lake District village of Hawkshead. The whitewashed walls of this 17th-century coaching inn are a picture postcard scene, whatever the Cumbrian weather happens to throw at you. And, after an extensive, sympathetic renovation, the inn reopened its doors in […]

Wānaka: Your South Island base

On the shores of New Zealand’s fourth largest lake, surrounded by the Southern Alps and with a national park almost at the end of the street, Wānaka looks like a classic vacation town.

Cool pools in Africa

After a heady day in the wild African bush, beach or bustling city, there is something irresistibly indulgent about cooling off in a gorgeous swimming pool – or chilling with a glass of bubbles in a lovely hot tub or jacuzzi under the stars by night.

Chasing Green Horizons: Why Ireland Captivates the Wander-luster’s Heart

Review: Tshwene Lodge, Welgevonden, Limpopo, South Africa

With a three-hour drive from Johannesburg, Welgevonden’s ‘Big Five’ Tshwene Lodge is an inviting and accessible bush escape. A stay here offers an opportunity to ‘slow down’ and enjoy the rhythm of the wilderness. I spent three days embracing a slower pace in the bush and returned indeed feeling refreshed. The welcome After the surprisingly quick […]

Fiordland – one of the world’s most untamed wildernesses

I just completed one of the most unique cruises through some of New Zealand’s most sensational scenery. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. There are places in this world that render you speechless, not because I have nothing to say, but because the landscape impresses me more than my own words ever could. I […]

Luxury stays in Peru’s Sacred Valley: The quiet side of Machu Picchu’s magic

Most travelers move through Peru confined to the same itinerary and rhythm. Like being stuck on a conveyor belt, they check off Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and done – shuffling unquestioningly along the same well-worn path and snapping the same prescribed photos. It’s efficient, yes, but mind-numbingly predictable and familiar. Smart travelers, however, are the […]
