June 17, 2015

According to Susan Clayton, an environmental psychologist at the College of Wooster, the decoration of where you live, a permanent home or temporary like a hotel, defines you as a person: it because a distinguishing factor over identifying with living in some place boring. Her opinions are anecdotally supported by another academic, Professor William S. Sax who […]

James Bond’s Globe-Trotter suitcase Now that James Bond: Skyfall has premiered, Bond fever is definitely in full swing and meeting a confluence of end-of-year travel dreams. I’ve often attempted to balance my freakishly anal need for matching luggage and the practicality (in terms of theft avoidance) when it comes to designer suitcases but therein lies […]

Travel in Style: Limited Edition Hermes Camera Leica M9-P

May 22, 2012

I like to travel light yet heavy on style but sadly I’ve never been able to find a camera that matched my sartorial sensitivities. To me, the humble camera burdened with the onerous duty of capturing scenes of beauty always suffered an unjust fate of utilitarian value, never quite meeting the standard of aesthetics as befitting […]

It is Hollywood irony that most of the beautiful locations featured in 2006’s Casino Royale were set in the Czech Republic rather than Montenegro where his mission was actually centered; nevertheless, attracted by the luxury and opulence of these locales, I was determined to hunt them down; especially since I was heading to the Republic […]

It has captured our collective imagination since we first saw the City of Light on celluloid, it’s going to be tough writing this city guide to Paris with all the wonderful things to see and do. A city perfect for walking, exploration of this metropolitan tribute to architecture and design is about two things: spotting […]
