On my recent trip to Athens, I was lucky enough to get to stay at Fresh Hotel. Located right in central Athens, it was within a quick walking distance of everywhere the tourist in me wanted to go. Which, since I only had 48 hours in the city, was a good thing! The hotel itself …
Seminyak was a late addition to my Bali trip plans. After a stay in the relative seclusion of a Ubud rice paddy, arriving in Petitenget was a wake up call. Dash is nestled amongst boutiques, restaurants and several very popular resorts (the Alila and the W are just a short walk away). Located right across …
I recently attended a yoga retreat hosted at Villa Ubud Corner 88. Located at the edge of a river in a remote corner of Ubud, down a road that seems it should be condemned as its in such bad condition, this collection of villas a little slice of paradise. Located on a hill, Villa Ubud Corner …
I’ve always wanted to stay at the Hoxton in London, but alas, it seems silly to spend money on a staycation when you can go on a vacation. That’s why I was so excited when MB suggested we stay at the Hoxton in Amsterdam during our weekend away- read more about that here. The London …
Stiffkey is one of those locations I retreat to in my mind when I’m instructed to think of my “happy place.” Set amongst the wetlands of Norfolk on the east coast of England, it is a teeny, tiny little hamlet with a handful of shops, one narrow road, a few homes and the obligatory pub. …
It had never occurred to me that a hotel could also be a World Heritage sight. But alas, it can be. And of course, when I had the opportunity to stay in one during my recent trip to Sicily, I snapped up the chance. Villa Trigona is about a mile outside of the small, stunning …
As a member of Hotels.com, I tend to start there when looking for a place to stay. After all, after 10 nights, I get one night free. Traveling a lot, this is not a deal to trifle with. Therefore, when I had to go to San Francisco for work, I started my search with affordable, …
Sometimes I get overwhelmed by all the hotel choices there are in any particular place. Even in far-flung corners of the world, there are more choices than one can possibly consider. In a big, beautiful and exciting city like Stockholm, that’s even more the case than usual. B, my travel buddy during my epic trip …
There was a time when I could have had my mail sent to the Rodney, I was there so much. Located in Clifton, the cutest part of Bristol (in my opinion), and within walking distance of the university, I’d stay at the Rodney at least once a week because I taught early morning classes. The …
After a 15-hour flight, there’s nothing I want to do more than shower and climb in to bed. Or, so I thought. We’d booked the Anantara in Bangkok as a little luxury to sleep off our jet lag before backpacking around Thailand. But once we got there, we wanted to do everything other than sleep! …
