a travel and style blog
Why is a travel blogger reviewing a pillow? Because after a long trip, there’s nothing I want to do more than climb back into my own bed and get a good night’s sleep. We spend a third of our lives in bed, as they say – except when we travel. Personally, when I travel I’m …
The pre-dinner drink ritual is one Michael and I often indulge in when we are traveling, and though it takes a different form (and name) in different countries, it’s always a memorable experience.
