Luxe City Guides – Hip & Savvy [REVIEW]
May 6, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I've been using the Luxe City Guides for several years now. They are hip and savvy, full of insider tips, travel intelligence and great suggestions for aesthetes like myself who enjoy the finer things in life. These are an Urban Nomad's best friend. However, they are not for 'Tourists'... but that's why I like them ;) I say this because they don't have glossy photos, maps … [Read more...]

April 20, 2011 by Leave a Comment
This Travel Intelligence Report comes in 3 parts... Arriving in St Barths Arriving in St. Barths is very exciting. Only small planes are allowed to land on the island and they have to slow their engines, rapidly ascend a mountain peak, then dive-bomb downwards onto a very short landing strip. If they fail to stop in time, they will probably decapitate sun seekers lying on … [Read more...]

Principe Forte dei Marmi, Italy and Sky Bar [REVIEW]
November 30, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Forte dei Marmi is a well-kept secret amongst Italians. It is packed in summertime - primarily by locals - although there are waves of Russians coming in thick and fast. It has all the rustic charm of the region, combined with the Italian seaside. What a great combination. It is well located just a few blocks away from the centre of town and a couple of blocks away from … [Read more...]
Borgo Egnazia – Puglia, Italy
November 30, 2010 by Leave a Comment
This is a 49-acre retreat built by the Melipignano family (owners of neighbouring Masseria San Domenico and Masseria Cimino) over the course of 10 years and at a cost of more than $200 million.

You can sail through security with only carry on bags. First Luggage … [Read more...]
