Are you a wipes traveler?
There’s a video of Naomi Campbell going through the airport preparing for her flight. Even before the rise in germ awareness, she was disinfecting every surface she would touch on the plane. Then there are people who enter their hotel and do the same, wiping down everything. Some even bring their own sheets and towels…

A stay at The Barnett in New Orleans (Part 2)
“Is that dander in the couch?” As I went through my room at The Barnett in New Orleans to document my travels, excitedly, my stomach turned. Instead of learning about all of the details to give a better review, I started analyzing the space for cleanliness. Then there was a screwdriver under the table. Just…

The interior was very casual. The wait staff shuffled around in shorts and sneakers. We relied solely…

These are the hotels I’m recommending, if you’re wondering
Voting for the Travel+Leisure awards has opened. Here are four hotels I will be nominating. It’s only right for me to start this off with the hotel that started it all for me. 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge was the first “nice” hotel I ever stayed at and gave a glimpse into what excellent service meant.…

Equinox Hotel is becoming one of my favorites for this reason
I previously stayed using the Science of Sleep package, but I had a sneaking suspicion that the package didn’t add all that much to my experience. I wanted to know what the “regular experience” was.

Okay, you could pay me stay at Populus Denver
The other day this icebreaker question popped up on the screen at the meeting: If you were given $10 million to do any job in the world, regardless of your skill set, what would you do?” I immediately thought, I’d be a travel writer. Sorry, let me be more specific. I would be a professional…
