About

The experience of different cultures, climates, landscapes and lifestyles fascinates me. Travel over the last quarter of a century has given me a million memories I will forever savour across five continents, varying from exhilarating sky diving and white water rafting in Australia to breathtaking horse riding in South Africa and a never to be forgotten safari on the Masai Mara. 

Luxury travel means different things to different people. When I travel I want to stay at a property that has made me so welcome it becomes difficult to leave, be that a five star luxury hotel or a family run agriturismo. The same applies to dining, fine dining has its place but so does the age old trattoria which is buzzing with locals. Mostly, it comes down to the people, what really sets a property apart is the quality of its staff. Smiles on faces and the feeling that nothing is too much trouble create an enjoyable atmosphere. Safari guides that are enthusiastic- keen to show you the wildlife and the local community, people that want you to see their part of the world and delight in giving you the best adventure possible.

Passage To Luxury exists as a trusted guide from ski to safari and everything in between- think of it as a tightly curated edit of those special places around the globe, big or small. It is selective rather than exhaustive and I hope useful in ensuring that you have the perfect trip. I obviously can’t visit everywhere (well I can try!!) but the #PTLApproved section are those properties that have been personally visited by me and hence come highly recommended.
