Thoughtful travel experiences, slower itineraries and peaceful stays that leave space to wander, pause and experience a destination without rushing.
At the end of November, I’ll be travelling to Seoul for the first time. This isn’t just another trip for me. My daughter, Leana, is graduating in Seoul, so the journey already has a very personal reason behind it. But it also gives me the chance to discover a city and a culture that are…
Brussels has an extraordinary cultural scene, with museums and galleries ranging from the great Belgian masters to contemporary art and architecture. But rather than trying to see everything, I prefer choosing a few places that offer something genuinely different. These are three cultural places in Brussels that I particularly enjoy, each for a very different…
Antwerp may be known for its fashion, architecture and food scene, but it is also a wonderful city for art and culture. What I particularly love is the variety. You can spend a morning surrounded by Flemish Masters in a magnificent museum, discover contemporary photography in the afternoon, or wander among sculptures in a peaceful…

Yorkshire left us with a feeling.” When we planned our journey through Yorkshire, we expected beautiful landscapes, historic houses and excellent food. We found all of those. But what stayed with us most wasn’t a single attraction or a particular view. It was…

Lisbon is a city best experienced slowly. One moment you are wandering through quiet tiled streets, the next you discover a hidden Miradouro with sweeping river views, a tiny bakery serving the perfect pastel de nata, or a rooftop glowing in the evening sun. My sister and I visited my niece (her daughter) and spent…
There is a moment, somewhere between your second oyster and your first proper look at the sea, when Whitstable stops feeling like a place you are visiting and starts feeling like somewhere you could stay.
