Confession: I love traveling around Africa, but find Big Five jeep safaris rather boring. Don’t get me wrong, I love those 5 AM game drives and Amarula sundowners as much as the next hack, but after a day, the routine starts to feel too curated, too rehearsed, too... commodified? That’s exactly what drew me to little-visited Gabon, where tourism is still in its infancy and I arrived with no idea of what to expect (just how I like it!). Yes, it’s a far cry from the polished lodges and seamless transfers I’ve grown used to, but what it lacked in ease, it made up for with raw wilderness, home to forest elephants, western lowland gorillas, and endemic birdlife that’d make an ornithologist’s head spin. Did I find ‘Africa’s Last Eden’, though? Yes... and no — read why in my latest piece for @travelandleisure, which made it to the cover! A huge thanks to A-list travel advisor Nicola and @theexplorationscompany for putting it all together, the T+L dream team — @florastubbs, @pbbrady1, @jacquigiff, @scotthallphotoeditor and everyone else — for shepherding this piece to the finish line. And of course @softlife_manager, Dmitiri, Abdoul and team for making the trip such a joy. 23 Mar 2025 Was already pretty honored when @foodandwine asked me to be on the jury for this year’s Global Tastemakers awards (alongside some brilliant industry peers); felt smug when they later had me pen a love letter to Bangkok’s dining scene (F&W’s best food city of the year - more fun and diverse than ever with fresh openings like @ledukaan, @chopchopbangkok @rangoonteahouse.bkk etc.); but really had to pinch myself when they sent me out to shoot the cover (!) of the travel issue that lands on the newsstands today 😮‍💨 thank you thank you @melhansche @winslowtaft and team! 18 Apr 2025 ‘Tis the season… for @condenasttraveller’s annual ✨ Gold List ✨ Wrote about a bunch of my favorite stays around the globe, including the dreamy @songsaaprivateisland in Cambodia; Bangkok’s one and only @thesiamhotel; Aman’S OG Phuket outpost @amanpuri, and with my shot on the cover (!!! 😵) the fabulous @miavana_. Thank you @diviathani, @petewinterbottom @karinmuellertraveller @mattbuckphoto and the rest of the CNT dream team 🙏🏼 15 Dec 2023 Designers @billbensley and @jr_botanica spent their careers crafting make-believe worlds for the likes of Rosewood and Capella, but with Hacienda Botanica, their new hideaway in the mountains of Mae Rim, they’re finally welcoming guests into their own. Spent a lovely long weekend there a few months ago, and you can read all about it in this month’s issue of @condenasttraveller 🇹🇭 ขอบคุณครับ, @smilingalbino @dynamic.pr.lee @karinmuellertraveller @lydiaelizabethbell 12 Nov 2026 Throwback to Peru with the good folks at @_andean last year, not knowing that I’d be back again so soon 🇵🇪 02 Nov 2026 On the edge of Dali’s Erhai Lake, designer Xie Ke transformed the foundations of a forlorn farm into @qingshan.49, a place to, in his words, “bring good souls together”. Spent a lush long weekend here a few months ago, and wrote about it for this month’s @condenasttraveller 🇨🇳 14 Oct 2026 A stolen moment 📿 11 Oct 2026 Moor-ish more 🇩🇿 06 Oct 2026 Turns out, a week in the Sahara is way too short, but long enough to pick up an atay addiction 🐪 A+ adventure around southern Algeria’s Tassili n’Ajjer with @wildfrontiers and a Tuareg dream team - much more in a magazine near you sometime soon. 30 Sep 2026 Dakar is everything, everywhere, all at once, but I loved this Crayola-colored pocket of calm on Gorée Island, a 30-minute ferry-hop from the downtown frenzy. 🇸🇳 Another adventure with @voyageursdumonde 21 Sep 2026 King of the kasbah 🇲🇦 Nursing my @pure_theshow hangover in the very good hands of @voyageursdumonde and @thetangierbureau in the Tangerine dream 13 Sep 2026 iykyk 🌞 01 Sep 2026
