After spending the morning in awe of one of the world’s most iconic buildings, The Sydney Opera House, it was time to grab a bite and explore Sydney’s art neighborhoods. I caught a cab and headed further into town to an area called Alexandria where I found an innovative farm-to-table restaurant that takes their coffee as…
Just outside the metropolis of Mumbai is Elephanta Island, where visitors can find a quiet reprieve from the noise and chaos of the city and perhaps even experience spiritual sense of peace. From the Gateway To India, we hopped on board a rickety wooden boat and out into the silvery bay, unable to see where the water…
I get this question a lot and it’s a tough one to answer. “What’s it like in India? What do you recommend seeing there? Is it really as bad as they say? How’s the Taj Mahal?” For starters, let me just say I love so much about India’s culture — the food, the flowing colorful…
During my trip around the world with the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, we’ve arrived in Mumbai during one of the biggest holidays in the country — Diwali. It’s a Hindu festival of light, a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. Everywhere you go, the vibe during Diwali is festive and lively. The Significance…
While visiting Hawaii, I had the chance to enjoy dinner at Four Seasons Hualalai’s beachfront restaurant, ULU Ocean Grill. The name Ulu derives from the Ka’upulehu region’s history as this is the area where ancestral Hawaiian’s grew breadfruit. Ka ‘ulu pulehu meaning “the roasted breadfruit” and ‘ulu meaning simply: breadfruit. I had the opportunity to…
Bora Bora is a dream destination for most. The mesmerizing crystal clear depth of cerulean water, a milky way of islands encircling a lush green volcano, and those iconic bungalows hovering over the lagoon on stilts — it’s enough to make one sigh and slip into a daydream. Having been, I can tell you it’s…
I’ve had my fair share of rice while traveling. From arroz con pollo in the Caribbean to sweet mango sticky rice in Thailand. Curious about this simple grain that seems to grow so abundantly in Asia, I walked down to the rice fields at the Four Seasons Chiang Mai to get a closer look and…
I must confess, I love jewelry. While walking past window displays and open markets, I’m like a magpie attracted to anything colorful, glittery, or shimmering — I can’t help but stop and look. Sure, earrings and bracelets make great souvenirs since they’re small and easy to pack. But let’s be honest here, I’m just using that…
Having a pint at a pub in London is a must-do with any trip to this historic city. While there’s plenty of pubs choose from, I highly recommend visiting one of the London’s oldest pubs, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. It was rebuilt in 1667 after the great fire and has had some pretty famous “regulars” including…
Sometimes we search to find the peace within, and instead find it inside a bit of humor. Such was my lesson in learning what yoga was like in India. While I was visiting Mumbai on assignment for the Four Seasons Private Jet Experience, I had the opportunity to take a yoga class. Since we were…
During my around-the-world trip with the Four Seasons, our tour was coming to an end and I had just a day to explore the city of Budapest. Now, Budapest possesses some of the best coffee houses in Europe and with the gray skies and November chill in the air there is nothing else I wanted…
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and I’m always fascinated to see what morning provisions are present in other countries. For me, there’s a sense of comfort provided by a leisurely meal (and gobs of coffee) to transition into the day. While visiting Bali last year for my FSJet trip assignment, I met…

Looking for an unique twist to a traditional pumpkin dessert? How about one with a creamy coconut twist. I usually associate pumpkins with autumnal spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, recipes that comfort you on a cold winter day. So I didn’t expect to stumble upon them in tropical Southeast Asia. As it turns…
Ever wonder what a $147,000 vacation would look like? A luxurious trip around the world? I must admit, it was not something I ever thought I’d experience beyond flipping through glossy magazines and daydreaming of luxurious stays and grand bucket-list-worthy adventures. But when you’re a content creator, sometimes hard work and opportunity blend together with…
