Too often, Marbella, the glitzy enclave of the Costa del Sol, is looked upon as a jet-setter's paradise, confused for the superficial attractions of yacht-filled, boutique-lined Puerto Banus. Yet Puerto Banus, constructed from scratch by José Banús in the 1970s, is but one new addition to the ever-sprawling suburbs of this renowned town in Southern Spain. Attracting party-goers from around the world and even inspiring a “Marbella Sessions” soundtrack from the famous Ministry of Sound, Marbella is quickly gaining a reputation akin to the party paradise of Ibiza and Magaluf. Yet that reputat…

This c. With striking scenery and captivating wildlife, only a handful of experiences are on par with an African safari. But Africa is not a country; it's a continent made up of 54 culturally and geographically diverse countries with different climates and offering different experiences. Whether you are planning your next vacation or your honeymoon, the most critical decision you'll need to make is where to go. While African safaris can generally be broken down into three seasons: the dry season (June to October), the mixed season (November to March), and the wet season (March to May)…

It's not about slacking off; it's about working smarter from a place that fuels your…

Falling in love with a city or place is like falling in love with a lover; it can be love at first sight or can evolve over time. While my love for New York was like that undefinable connection that strikes you like a flash of lightning and instantly feels like ‘coming home”, Miami snuck its way slowly into my heart. Maybe it was the blend of fast-paced city life and tropical, relaxed atmosphere, its colorful cultural palette, and the way diversity is embraced that got me, but it was not until my last visit that I realized I was in love with this city. With so much diversity running throug…

Famed for its Art Deco buildings, beautiful sandy beaches, and distinctly Latin vibe, Miami is the go-to destination for getting away from it all or being part of the action. With its iconic skyline and prestigious ocean-facing developments, laid-back yet trendy atmosphere, and not big or crowded nature, this city is easy to navigate even if you are a first-time visitor.  However, it's the city's rich cultural fabric, with over 80 languages spoken, that truly sets Miami apart. This diversity is not just a statistic, but a living, breathing entity that manifests through art, music, food, an…

If you haven't lived until you died in New York, and you don't get tired of life until you get tired of London, then you don't know what freedom is until you have been to Amsterdam. Best known for its abundance of tulips, canal houses, and easy biking trails, Amsterdam is one of the greatest small cities in the world. A capital of tolerance that fully lives by the code of ‘live and let live,' where diversity is welcomed, and reality is defined by a lively society where men and women alike have space and legitimacy to express themselves, a place where everyone's sexual orientation is respe…

Visitors often find themselves captivated; their spirits stirred by landscapes that seem to exist outside of time. The climate in Myanmar is typically hot and humid, with a monsoon season from May to October and a dry season fro…

As an enthusiast of tropical destinations, I have often considered the experience of spending a night in an igloo to be far from desirable. Nevertheless, the intense summer heat in Mallorca over the past few weeks has prompted a longing for northern climates, leading me to contemplate the allure of a room in one of the increasingly popular “Ice Hotels” favored by my corporate clients. Within the confines of these establishments, one can anticipate indoor temperatures ranging from -5 to -8 degrees Celsius, while the external environment can reach as low as -20 degrees. This drastic temperat…
