I fish the Dubai itinerary out of my carry-on and flip to a page titled “Common Arabic Phrases.” I can’t help but smile at the formal, grammatically perfect—and therefore utterly charming—suggestions, especially compared to the colloquial mishmash of Aramaic-Arabic-English I grew up speaking. “So this is what proper Arabic is supposed to sound like,” I […]

Earlier this year the FASHION team headed to Hong Kong and Thailand. With only a few days in each location and a rough idea of all the places they wanted to photograph – the Ladies’ Market, Old Town Central, James Bond Island – they had to get to work straight after landing. I was fortunate […]

The symbol of Manchester is the worker bee, chosen during the Industrial Revolution because of its reputation for being a productive member of the hive. The bee’s humble role belies its surprising talents, like the “waggle dance,” a form of communication bees use to let their colony know where the best flowers are located, never […]

The vaguest advice I receive before leaving for Hong Kong is also the soundest: “Eat all the things.” To dine at a different establishment (14,000 at last count) for each meal every day would take more than 14 years, and by then there would be new ones. On Hong Kong Airlines, I get a teaser. […]

With the Andaman Sea’s hundreds of Islands just off the coast of mainland Thailand, the country has plenty of beautiful beach-front locations where you can watch the sunset. Considering you’ll never have the time to hit all the best sunset locations, we have two very different suggestions for must see-sunset-views! Эта история о том, как […]

If it isn’t already, The City of Bridges—a.k.a. Steel City or the ’Burgh—needs to be on your list of places to visit. A pleasant five-hour drive from Toronto, this under-the-radar gem is more than just the birthplace of Heinz Ketchup, bingo and Andy Warhol. Tourists come to Pittsburgh for the art and the incredible restaurant […]

If you’re looking for an elite tropical getaway in Thailand, check out this 5-star hotel, spa and private villa property on Cape Panwa Peninsula, at the very southeastern tip of Phuket. Sri Panwa Phuket I now know where Chanel Boy Bags go on vacation, although I also saw a Prada walk by. (PS: I want […]

In Parque del Centenario, a metre-long iguana scales the side of a tree. I’ve been told to keep watch for monkeys at this park, which sits on the fringe of Cartagena’s Getsemaní district, offering shade from the often-scorching streets. Locals walk by, unfazed. In this city, where a cloudless sky could give way to torrential […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
