Miami: The City That Surprised Us
Miami was meant to be “just a stopover”: a place to rest our heads between flights, perhaps grab a cocktail on South Beach and tick it off the list. What we didn’t expect was to fall a little bit in love with it. From our eco-chic base at 1 Hotel South Beach to exploring neighbourhoods in an open-top jeep, laughing our way across the Everglades and watching a dramatic storm roll in over the ocean,

Our Wild & Wonderful Family Adventure in Costa Rica
Costa Rica had been on our family wish list for years: volcanoes, rainforest, wildlife and that laid-back “pura vida” way of life. When we finally made it there, it turned out to be even more magical than we had imagined: a trip full of sloths and tiny frogs, zip wires and yoga on a wild beach, lost luggage and the kindest people. We moved around the country, staying in four very special places: F

New York City
New York City has a reputation for being big, bold and a little bit overwhelming. What surprised us on our recent trip was just how perfect it is for families. Over four days we walked thousands of steps, crammed in the “big sights”, and soaked up that famous NYC buzz, and not once did the kids complain. In fact, they were in complete awe of the city from start to finish. For a family that loves t

Half Term Family Escape to the Algarve
This May half term we traded school runs for golden cliffs, Atlantic breezes and that blissful feeling of instant calm. Just a short flight from the UK into Faro, followed by an easy 40‑minute drive, brought us to the gates of VILA VITA Parc Resort & Spa in the Algarve. The moment we turned in, the outside world seemed to fall away. Lush gardens, glimpses of the ocean and smiling staff waiting to

A family adventure in Sri Lanka & the Maldives
Last summer, my family and I set off on a journey that felt like stepping into a storybook: a two–centre adventure combining the wild beauty of Sri Lanka with the castaway luxury of the Maldives. It was one of those trips where every day brought a “wow” moment, but also plenty of slower, quiet memories: splashing in pools, sipping tea in the cool hills, and simply being together with no distractio

Memories That Become Family Stories
Every family I work with comes home with a story. Maybe it’s the dolphins they spotted in Mauritius, the tuk-tuk ride through Thailand, or the sunset that caught them by surprise in Croatia. Years later, those stories become part of a family’s identity — retold at dinners, shared at birthdays, woven into childhood memories. Being part of that story, even in a small way, is something I treasure.
