GLOBAL GUIDES

ATHENS

It is considered the cradle of western civilization, the birthplace of democracy, and the epicenter of intellectual thought and philosophy. Welcome to Athens, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world. From the breathtaking heights of the Acropolis, to the scattered ruins of ancient temples and gymnasiums; mesmerizing icons of Orthodoxy peaking through a veil of incense  to sweet, Ottoman-inspired delicacies,  Athens offers a complex cultural & spiritual experience that leaves its guest both enchanted and bewildered.

DUBAI

A call to prayer, the white crispness of a traditional robe, the ultimate expression of wellness through the medium of sacred devotion and spa-infused rituals of personal care. Golden desert sands whispering the tales of ancient caravans laden with pearls, gold, and tribal textiles contrast with the glistening steel and glass of monumental contemporary architecture. Like a Thousand and One Nights, Dubai rises like an Arabian dream ready to enchant its visitors with unexpected local delicacies and a unparalleled showcase of international luxuries. Nowhere in the world can one experience the diversity of culture which has made Dubai the cosmopolitan captial that it is today.

KYOTO

A whisper of incense drifts with intent from immaculately manicured gardens, a hommage to the ancestors of this ancient land. Gongs bellow their netherworld authority announcing to both wayfarer and devotee alike that this is no ordinary corner of Mother Earth. Walk along its forest paths, lush with Bamboo greens…discover its sacred temples guarded by the Kami spirits who impishly wander amongst the city’s iconic red Torii gates, inspire the grace of a revered Geshia, and find their solace amongst the antique tools of Takumi master craftsmen. Welcome to Kyoto, the global capital of spiritual refinement par excellence.

COMNG SOON

LONDON

Whether its a stroll down Birdcage Walk to admire the majesty of the kingdom, a cheeky sprint to Sloane Square to meet with friends, or a sartorial splurge on Jermyn Street for made-to-measure shirts, London offers both visitor and resident alike all the trappings of a truly considered life. From delectable  pastas at Locanda Locatelli to the sybaritic charm of the Corinthia Hotel’s stunning lobby, my Global Guides showcases the very best hotels, cafés, shopping, and cultural happenings London has to offer.

COMNG SOON

NEW YORK CITY

When it comes to contemporary sophistication no city does it better than Manhattan. From its iconic glass and steel buildings tempered by neoclassical restraint, Madison Avenue shopping experiences that truly raise the bar of expectation, and a plethora of Lower East Side artists, poets and performers, New York City has for over 2 centuries been a city of dramatic extremes, an economic powerhouse on a global scale and a haven for the international elite. Join me as I share its top drawer shops, cutting edge wellness sanctuaries, and its endless gourmet indulgences.

COMING SOON

PARIS

What makes Paris…Paris? Could it be its sumptuous 17th Hôtel Particuliers that have been magically transformed into veritable temples of retail therapy, the spirt of revolution and progress that still perfumes its Left Bank cafés, or is it the simple,  yet ultra-sophisticated style of its inhabitants? Paris is truly the City of Lights, both those that sparkle and those Lumières that invoke philosophical reflection. Stroll the banks of the River Seine whilst I showcase the capital’s very best in art de vivre, fashion, architecture, and of course its bevy of Michelin Starred gastronomic delights.

COMNG SOON

RAJASTHAN

Oh, Rajasthan! Great Land of Kings that sits in majesty, like a shining pearl in the crown of ancient Vedic Culture. What mysteries you must hide within your palace walls…what poetic words must you float across the lips of your generations? From the savage trails of your Sariska Tiger Reserve to the ornately decorated rooms of your Haveli mansions, You offer the world a glimpse into the elegance and eloquence of one of the oldest cultures on earth. Join me as I explore Rajashthan’s art, music, food, and of course, its richly embellished handicrafts.
