Determined to be different, then New Zealand is the place for you. From Queenstown in the south, to Hawke’s Bay on your way up to Matauri Bay, almost as far up the North Island as you can get, there are three lodges that will blow your mind and take your New Zealand experience to a […]
It’s 5:57 pm and the sun has just dipped below the sea, the evening sky is set ablaze by fierce refractions of light sending spectacular colours in every direction.

St. Regis Bahia Beach It’s balmy, breezy, full of spice and swankier than ever. This is Puerto Rico and it will charm and embrace you. It’s no secret that from the narrow streets of Old San Juan, you can find the essence of what the island used to be. The history among the cobblestones and […]
