Very belated pics from a perfect weekend at @beltaneranch in Sonoma Valley last month. This place is our favourite escape, and I can't wait to spend many days here this summer!

The jammiest upgrade we ever did score, at the stunning @gaigehouseryokan in wine country. The saddest part is, I'm not sure I can ever go back, because now no normal room will suffice and this suite was just 💰💸😳

I need a drink just to cope with the reality that all future wine tasting experiences will struggle to live up to the heavenly @quintessawinery (but with those prices, I sadly won't be going back for a while!) @heathersandyhebert this is my favourite of your recommendations, and your book continues to surprise and delight! 🍇💜

WHY did it take me so long to visit @aperturecellars!? Loved everything about it - architecture, interior, ambience, views, wine 🍇 We will most certainly be back - such a treat 👏🏻

Winter in Yosemite - our first visit with these conditions. All the gear - snow chains on the tyres, snow shoes, crampons 🏔️❄️ but this park is still magical (even if most of the trails were closed).

Last stop of our roadtrip was Portland, Oregon - 5 days here, and we loved it! Staying at @thehoxtonhotel on the edge of Chinatown, using their beautiful covid-closed restaurant as a co-working space, and drinking all the great coffee we could find!

Top spots in the city:
🍽️ Food: @eempdx (Thai BBQ), @stjackpdx (fancy French & cocktails), @besaws (brunch).
☕ Coffee: @proudmaryusa (also for brunch), @coavacoffee, @goodcoffeepnw, @heartroasters.
🍾🍺 Drinks: @ensowinery (amazing OR wines), @cascade.brewing (sour beers), @eclipticbrewing (sours & hazies).
🔖 and @powellsbooks (new & used book heaven!)

About Me

Hey – Hi – Hello!

I'm a travel addict, and an extreme planner - so every trip I go on is extensively researched, with a strong tendency towards beautiful design, quality coffee and experiential restaurants.

Here, I'm sharing all that research and planning with you - this is my curated collection of design-led hotspots; the hidden gems that you won't find in any old guide book.

Enjoy :)
