My eyes are shut and I’m starting to sweat as the van navigates a tight cliffside curve while passing a truck travelling in the opposite direction. This four-kilometre stretch of road leading to St. Lucia’s posh Jade Mountain resort feels anything but luxe. This is what keeps it so private, says our driver, Phillip, assuring […]

I’m looking down at a breakfast that could feed three people, not just me. “The smoked salmon comes from the fishmonger down the street, and the organic wheaten bread we make ourselves,” says Ernestine McKeever, the host of our luxury B&B, Strand House, in the seaside town of Portstewart in northwest Northern Ireland. She isn’t […]

“I’m retired, you know,” says my cab driver, Rick, as he navigates his way into the heart of Auckland—New Zealand’s largest city—after my 14-hour Air New Zealand flight from Vancouver. It’s 6 a.m. and still dark, but he’s quite plucky. “I drive because I love to talk with people,” he confesses before skimming over the […]

I’ve never filled out a Proust Questionnaire, but should someone ask what I consider to be my greatest achievement, I’ll contemplate my two children and then respond “Planning my wedding in under four hours.” That wasn’t my endgame; it was simply a proud dividend of dodging a traditional white wedding, with its look-at-me pomp, interminable […]

The final frontier has always been space travel, and for decades it has felt like space tourism—and even space colonization—is just about to take off. Back in 1975, NASA scientists theorized that a wheel-shaped space colony named Torus “could be built before the year 2000.” They said it would be situated between the earth and […]

Time is arguably the greatest luxury, and after a 35-minute drive from Salt Lake City International Airport, Park City’s swath of the Wasatch Range in the Rocky Mountains comes into view. The town spoils skiers with two resorts within minutes of each other: the 2,954-hectare Park City Mountain, the largest in the United States, and […]

As much as I like travelling to adventurous locations, TBH, I’m not one for adventure travel. So just because I’m staying on Laucala (pronounced “Lothala”) Island, 40 minutes from Fiji’s diving wonder, the Great White Wall, doesn’t mean I’ll take up diving. But on day three of my trip, I find myself holding hands with […]

My love affair with Edmonton started with…well, a love affair. Shortly after meeting my (now) husband in Toronto, he was relocated to Calgary and then Edmonton, his hometown, for a six month work stint. We spent those months criss-crossing the country to visit each other for long, romantic weekends. A third date spent watching the […]

It’s a crisp spring morning when I arrive at Ballyfin Demesne. From the moment I pull up to the estate’s grand gates and long, winding driveway, I feel instantly swept away from the bustle of modern life and ensconced in a bygone era of tradition, romance and luxury. I spy hares and pheasants as well […]

My earliest exposure to the Parisian mystique came by way of three things: Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire in Funny Face, Sofia Coppola’s Miss Dior Chérie ads and, well, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s direct-to-video Passport to Paris. Basically, I’d only ever experienced the City of Light vicariously through film. Because I work at a fashion […]

It wasn’t so long ago that London Fashion Week was the “missable” week of the fashion month circuit—a week when editors and buyers could rest their blistered feet after New York, before the Milan and Paris shows started. Now, however, if you skip London, you’d be forgoing heaps of creativity and innovation, not to mention […]

It’s pretty hard to beat a “top of the world” moment like jumping into the air at Machu Picchu’s highest point. Yes, it’s a clichéd photo op—but for a most exhilarating reason: You can’t fully take in this singular 360-degree experience (complete with the high-altitude-induced breathlessness) any way but in person. Yet when I finally […]
