The Chesterfield Mayfair, London UK

My last business trip of 2021 and my last business trip before being a father of two just happened to be my first international business trip since… a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, so at least it felt like! 2 days and 3 nights to make the most of my time […]

Ashford Castle, Cong, County Galway, Ireland

Apparently it rains here all the time. You would never known that, as we spent every day lapped in sunshine during our say in County Mayo, Ireland.

She was right: ignoring her advice, nearly every item I tried from their café was a letdown. While the Japanese creations in the exclusive […]

W Hotel, Austin, TX USA

SXSW is a nonstop event. It’s hard to describe the experience, but essentially, major mainstream/well-known b2c “tech” companies (and I use the word “tech” loosely) have events throughout the city over a 10 day period, and visitors hop from one destination to another, absorbing as much as they can. Half a million attendees, lots of […]
