LONDON, UK- Beijing-Dubai-London-New York in a week. It may sound like the gal-about-the-globe itinerary par excellence, but by the time I landed in Heathrow for the London leg of my adventure, suitcase hauling, jetlag, and one too many in-flight rom-coms had left me dazed and bedraggled…not exactly the jet-set chic… (more)

MADRID, SPAIN – Madrid is the city where I found my two greatest loves: Spanish literature (I earned my master’s in Spanish language and lit while living there) and my husband. That’s not to say my fondness for Don Quixote is anywhere near equal to my adoration for my… (more)

LONDON, UK – I tend to think of The Dorchester as the Judi Dench of London lodging: a Grand Dame who’s classy, elegant, inherently British, and scene-stealing in every role it plays. This doyenne has certainly earned its stripes, having first opened in 1931, with refurbishing in 1990 and a… (more)

HONG KONG, CHINA – If you want to be where it’s at in Hong Kong, you’ve got to get high. Trust me, one step out of the gloriously air-conditioned airport and you’ll know what I mean. This tiny island city is not only perpetually sweltering, it’s also sardines-in-a-can crowded. The… (more)
