A quick stay at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry
Roughly two months ago, I went to Miami, or Aventura to be exact. I stayed at the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort and Spa. The place was full of people likely escaping their cold weather at home, people conferencing, and people there just to show off their fancy sports cars. I was there to see…

Maybe I want to go to Finland
I am having some trouble focusing today. So let’s go on a fake adventure! I had a random place generated: Finland. The recommended hotel is Iso Syöte Hotel located in Lapland, two hours drive from the Oulu international airport. Specifically, their Eagle Suite has been rated as one of the most romantic stays in the…

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 1)
Today I am writing to you about my stay at The Barnett, in New Orleans. Tomorrow, I will write about the experience. Let’s jump in with the tour. It is centrally located in a good section of New Orleans, not right smack on the craziness of Canal Street, but walking distance from nightlife and restaurants.…

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. Some of the same elements that were meant to assist with sleep were still there. The only in-room difference I…

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…

I really like the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge
I went back to the 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge. Truthfully, it was the first really nice hotel I had ever stayed at and set the standard for me as to what a hotel experience could and should be like. This time around I booked using the Mastercard Travel services to take advantage of some of…
