The Canyons Resort
Above Park City, Utah
August 3, 2010
I recently went out to Utah to help shoot some viral videos for a new campaign for The Canyons Resort. They are undergoing some major updates – new trails, a brand new chair lift with heated seats and a great new ad campaign with an alluring contest.
I worked [...]

Marrakesh, Morroco
April 12-16th
A large, toothy grin followed by subsequent nods to myself – I fear I even paused mid-route to the my room. Yup, I am positively smitten with this hotel and have that wonderful, googly, love-at-first-sight in Marrakesh’s La Mamounia Hotel.
Spoiled beyond my dreams (and my very high, professionally-based expectations), being a guest at [...]

Verdura Resort & Spa
Sciacca, Sicily
April 2-6 – Easter
With the fortunate assignment of checking out Sir Rocco Forte’s latest resort, Vedura Resort & Spa, on the southern coast of Sicily, my husband and I spent our Easter holiday testing out the resort’s impressive golf offerings – 45 holes, spa complex – 46,000-square feet and encompassing sea [...]

The Rolling Hills of Tuscany
March 25th – April 11th
Well, dear readers, here it is – my dream assignment – and somehow I’ve found it once again. I have been tasked by the wonderful editors at Indagare (www.indagare.com) to canvass Tuscany and script lurid itineraries focusing on areas such as Chianti, the Maremma (the coast) and [...]

Maldives
November 1, 2009
Please forgive the tragic cliche of a headline above, but truly, I found one of paradise’s costumes right here in the Maldives. This long strand of islands, or Atolls as they’re known, out in the middle of the Indian Ocean features some of the most picturesque island-fantasy scenery I have ever imagined. Lo [...]

The November Issue
The feature is on the superlative Molori Safari Lodge in South Africa, which I visited last November. The photo spread in the magazine looks beautiful and clearly illustrates the elegance of this Bush oasis.
Many thanks to the fabulous editors at Town & Country. Below are some of my own pics from my [...]

Grumeti Reserve, Tanzania
September 28th, 2009
Our first overnight in Tanzania was by far the most formal and least intimate with nature’s nighttime creatures (bugs, reptiles, monkeys, etc.) of the entire trip. Oh the things I would have better appreciated had I known what was coming. However, despite Sasakwa’s formality, California-desert style exterior, and hilltop location, it’s [...]

TANZANIA
September 27th, 2009
It’s pretty wild that in three days time I went from Cebu in the Philippines to Amsterdam to now, the Grumetti Reserve in Tanzania. I know, I know, my life is charmed but, I must admit – I’m exhausted. Fortunately my four-poster bed at Singita’s Sasakwa Lodge beckons with fluffy promise.
But before that, [...]

SUZHOU, CHINA
September 14th, 2009
Here in Suzhou, a smaller city in China (though still 6 million people), I’ve discovered what my buddy Ben in Hong Kong had forewarned about traditional Chinese business dinners. As Ben rattled off lore (lazy susans, chicken feet and hideously potent alcohol) I absently shook my head thinking there’s no way our [...]

SHANGHAI
September 13th, 2009
So, as customary, I returned the following day to retrieve my custom designed, tailor made selections; a brown cashmere coat with added detail on the cuff and pockets, a purple cashmere dress with added pockets, a green and gold wool dress and a silk print shirt. What felt like a giddy foray into [...]
