Thankful for the warm, Irish hospitality at my recent stay , a hotel + spa in Tipperary, Ireland, famed for thoroughbred horse breeding.
The 42 room hotel manor house, built in 1728, sits on a quiet, charming street with local artisan shopping + dining. Sleek, contemporary spa adjoins the historic property, with adjacent sheep pasture + winding garden path directly to the Rock of Cashel, Ireland’s most iconic medieval site.
We were delighted by our Michelin dining on property + I’m excited to share that my clients have exclusive access to a private visit to the famed + racing farm. If you’re thinking of Ireland, let’s chat! 🍀

On the southwest coast of Scotland,
Glenapp Castle is a hidden gem full of history + purpose.

Beautifully integrated Gertrude Jekyll designed gardens, a restored Mackenzie & Moncur conservatory - the gardens, forest + seascapes that surround Glennapp make for a boundless playground. Activities include a Hebridean Sea Safari experience, hiking trails, tennis and much more - you can learn about this special property on BBC’s “Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond the Lobby” (Netflix).
Ailsa Craig (“Fairy Rock”) is an island in the outer Firth of Clyde that hovers in the view from my window at Glenapp. Most sport curling stones come from this notable volcanic island.
Our friends at Glenapp support A Call To Business Foundation in Sierra Leone + a portion of your stay contributes towards meals for over 350 children in schools + orphanage. There’s much to love when visiting this lesser traveled part of Scotland.

Dromoland Castle, County Clare
We were welcomed by a parade of horse + hounds to the throne of Ireland’s last high king. Dromoland has a playful vibe + offers abundant activities including archery, clay shooting, falconry, tennis, swimming, golf, spa + more. Over the centuries, it has played host to legends + luminaries, sinners + saints, barons + Beatles.
Now it’s your turn!
Thanks to our amazing partner .dmc

Chablé Yucatan 💚
This fairytale property is where luxury meets Mayan culture + history. Every detail is thoughtfully, seemingly effortlessly, executed.

You’ll discover elevated interiors, gastronomy, mixology + spa experiences - all generating renewal + joy.

Mayans move through life with a recognition that everything is connected in both the physical + spiritual realms. This still guides hearts + minds in the Yucatán region + far beyond. Their history is unimaginably precious + woven into every aspect of the property.

Nature, there, is openly abundant… The everyday falls away as you feel the present like a truth you have always known.
PS - the tequila tasting is ⭐️

London is always calling! ☎️🖤
Sometimes the classics endure.
When you visit, if you don’t have private transfers in place, I strongly suggest using a local black taxi.
Every licensed London taxi driver has completed the “Knowledge of London”, aka “The Knowledge”, a topographical test-of-endurance like no other. Nothing else exists anywhere in the world. From history to current events, you will always encounter an enlightened conversation - in your local London black taxi.
Supremely polite, kind, + generous with insight beyond a road map, a taxi ride in London is a tradition + superlative experience not to be missed. And yes, they are still doing this.
Just go!

I love to fly.
Glider. Small plane. Commercial airliner.
Fly a kite. Paper airplane. Any of it. All of it.
I never grow tired of the view from above + the engineering of flight always feels miraculous.
Yet, there’s nothing quite like a hot air balloon ride. This one over Champagne with my oldest daughter was a dream.
Perfect weather. Perfect scenery. Lovely father/son owner/operators.
Symbolism:
Rise above + maintain focus.
Beauty + possibility everywhere.
Innate ability to dream, create, explore + accomplish is within each of us.
Being in the exact part of the world these (lunatic)dreamers, the Montgolfier brothers, made ballooning a reality in the 1700’s, made this day even more spectacular. Manifesting this moment in time with my daughter was truly satisfying + unforgettable for me. Thinking of a special trip or excursion with someone you love? Just go!
I’d love to help you plan. 🌟
Merci beaucoup
