In this business there’s always one spot - ask any global travel agency owner about the one city they’re a little embarrassed to say they’ve not gotten the chance to visit yet. A city everyone knows, a city most of their clients have been to. There’s always one. For me it was Amsterdam. I’d been saying for years that I would get there. So, with the new opening of Rosewood coupled with an invite from Hotel de L’Europe where I have most of my clients stay when visiting, I booked the flight. Earlier this month I spent 5 days exploring by foot, with my little Leica in hand, in the early mornings, in the late evenings. It’s incredibly easy, welcoming, charming. I particularly loved the independent & vintage shopping … and beautiful bakeries. | My Favorite Meal: Gertrude

When glancing at my client calendar this month and what would catch my eye as notable to share, it’s a mother-daughter duo exploring their way through London & Scotland. Because it’s what I consider to be the perfect mix of city, buzz, the theater … balanced with expanse, quiet, the opportunity to do absolutely nothing but be in each other’s company in nature. | Their UK Itinerary: Start in London -> Manchester -> Edinburgh -> the Isle of Eriska -> end on a high note in Perthshire Scotland at Cromlix.
