My 10 Favourite Cocktails

  • FIRST POSTED: 8th February 2013 | LAST UPDATED: 12th November 2020
You know I like a cocktail or three – I was introduced to these on trips to the USA, as they weren’t very popular in Europe at all. But things have changed!! So without further ado.. here are some of my favourite cocktails – in no particular order. Cheers!

A lux weekend in Paris, France

  • FIRST POSTED: 21st January 2013 | LAST UPDATED: 18th June 2019
As Audrey Hepburn famously said once, “Paris is always a good idea”, and Mrs. O couldn’t agree more. When luxury apartment company Avenue Story invited me to kick off my 2013 travels in the world’s most romantic city, it was too tempting to say no.

A lux weekend guide to New Orleans, Louisiana

  • FIRST POSTED: 14th January 2013 | LAST UPDATED: 11th December 2020
It was all my friend Leah’s fault. She wrote a post about New Orleans and after reading it, I decided: enough was enough. I wanted a bit of New Orleans for myself too.

A step closer to heaven in Val d’Isere, France

  • FIRST POSTED: 17th December 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 11th July 2019
There is something about the mountains – I absolutely adore them. I love being at the top of the world – and I love the peace and quiet. And loved Val d’Isere

A bit of Lisbon love

  • FIRST POSTED: 25th November 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 11th July 2019
My love for Lisbon is no secret. It is my hometown, after all – but I had to move to other places (Spain, the UK) to really start appreciating it, which is a bit of a shame. Join us for a walk around the old part of town?

Loving Miami, Loving Florida

  • FIRST POSTED: 14th November 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 23rd September 2020
First things first. Miami is one of the few places in the US which offers this perfect combination: great beach (with sunloungers), great hotels, shops and incredible food. Pretty much all I need, I would say.

Missing summer, missing the Algarve

  • FIRST POSTED: 6th November 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 18th July 2019
It is no secret that summer is, without a doubt, my favourite season of the year. I love the beach, the sun and the long lazy lunches by the sea. One place we visit every year, and part of my pre-nuptial agreement with Mr. O, is the Algarve, in the south of Portugal.

A walk in Milan with Walks of Italy

  • FIRST POSTED: 29th October 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 4th March 2020
Some people think Milan is grey and industrial, but I am a believer that it can be a fantastic city break even if you are not into shopping (that would be a totally different story). So we walked around with Walks of Italy and loved it.

A weekend in Genova, Italy – more than focaccia and pesto

  • FIRST POSTED: 22nd October 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 16th September 2015
I think it would be fair to say that Genova isn’t on Italy’s Top10 cities to visit, mostly because people know very little about it. You may or may not know that delicacies like focaccia or pesto are originally from the Liguria region – and totally worth a visit!

Madrid, the capital of Spain and a city that Mrs. O called home for almost 4 years. She shares her favourite shopping and restaurant places in town.
