Many unexpected things can happen when you’re traveling. Take, for instance, my trip to Rome several years ago, when my backpack along with my laptop was stolen on the train. I had a few miserable days in Rome, but decided to lighten the mood by taking an unplanned stop to Oslo, Norway, and stay with a friend. It was my …
Some of my most memorable trips have always been the unexpected ones. It doesn’t happen very often, but I think part of the excitement comes from the lack of planning involved. When I got a call in November 2018 for a week-long project with Yuva Yoga Retreat in Bali, I was immediately intrigued. I had just a week to prepare …
It’s been over a decade since my family gathered together for a vacation. We were usually busy with work and other personal matters, but with my parents retired and my flexible schedule as a freelancer, coordinating a trip along with my siblings made it easier. Agreeing to a destination was relatively easy – we wanted to be in Italy but …
We’ve all seen images of beautiful rural landscapes illuminated with green skies known as The Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis, and it has a spot in many of our bucket list. I originally wanted to visit Iceland, but I was drawn to one of the northernmost city (above the Article Circle) in the world: Tromsø. I don’t recall how I …
After spending a week in Puglia, Italy, our trip continued back north, where we spent 24 hours with Caruso Menswear in Soragna, Parma, Italy. The Caruso brand originally operated as a garment manufacturer until ex-CEO of Brioni, Umberto Angeloni stepped in. Angeloni, a well-dressed yet softly spoken gentlemen who has a love for good things, oversaw the Brioni brand for …
In June, Guerre and I made our way to Puglia, the southern region of Italy (or the heel of the Italy’s boot). Puglia is known for its sunny weather, whitewashed hill towns, great agricultural areas, and beautiful (but mostly rocky) coastlines. It’s ideal for travelers worn down by the crowds of other popular regions. Getting down to Puglia is easy …
In March 2016, after covering the Fall/Winter 2016 shows in Milan and Paris, I made my way to Copenhagen and then Lugano, Switzerland to see friends. Just a short ride from Milano Centrale, Lugano is a city in southern Switzerland and leads the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino. Unfortunately, I only had two days so one day was spent in …
Copenhagen for 48-Hours – March 2016 Louisiana Museum of Modern ArtLocated on the coast in Humlebaek, just about an hour from Copenhagen Central Station by train and foot, the Louisiana museum holds an extensive collection of modern and contemporary art. It also contains a landscaped sculpture garden and a view of the Øresund, the strait that forms the Danish-Swedish border. …
For the second time, my friend, Guerre, and I decided to visit Naples between the menswear shows. This time our focus was to explore a different area but also meet with more bespoke tailors and artisans. We started off by staying at Hotel San Francesco al Monte, a former monastery located up a hill with views overlooking the Bay of …
Before this June, I knew very little about Ravello and Amalfi Coast. All of my past trips in Italy revolved around Florence and Milan, and my visit to Ravello was purely from a friend’s suggestion that was raised in Amalfi Coast. Online reading described Ravello as a town situated above Amalfi Coast in the province of Salerno, Campania, southern Italy. …
This June 2015, after attending Milan Men’s Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2016, my friend and I decided to make a stop in Naples for a few days with the interest of visiting several artisans before making my way to Amalfi. It would be my first time in Naples but many warned me to watch my belongings, so I went in with …
In April 2015, a friend of mine was able to get her hands on a Cadillac for a week or two and it was the perfect excuse for us to take a road trip. Many New York City residents do not own cars so getting away from the congested city is a privilege. We originally wanted to drive to Miami, …
