My Story
A former New Yorker originally from England, I'm now based on the Caribbean's 'Nature Island', Dominica, with my Californian wife and two sons.
My Travel Style
I love doing that extra bit of research that takes me to the paths less traveled, and a more local, authentic experience of a destination. I'm equally a fan of a pristine crowd-free beach, a historic building rich with stories of the past or a magical nature encounter. I often find novels that are set in the places I visit, to enrich the experience even more. When I travel, I balance seeing sights with times for kicking back in my hotel, and that's why the hotel environment is so important. My favorite hotels are either in historic buildings that have been given beautiful luxe renovations or those designed to merge in with the nature that they're surrounded by – I love a tropical garden and luxury outdoor bathroom!

The Ultimate Travel Guide to Dominica
The Caribbean's "Nature Island" of Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is truly one of the world's hidden gems, so much so that our family relocated here from NYC after a two month visit! With its lush rainforest mountains, crowd-free black sand beaches and a waterfall for every day of the year, it's a nature-lovers paradise and a rare oasis of undeveloped, unspoilt beauty. If finding off-the-beaten-path sights and having waterfalls, sulphur springs and beaches all to yourself appeals to you, then this could be the island for you!

The Best of Cartagena's Hidden Gems
Cartagena is such an atmospheric city, with its ancient cobbled streets and bougainvillea hanging off wood-carved balconies. I love its mystery: the alleyways are lined with huge oak doors with smaller doors inside them, which give glimpses of hidden inner courtyards filled with lush foliage. And from the city wall at sunset, look out over the Caribbean sea and the islands offshore that you can take a boat adventure out to the next day!
