My secret place: Fazenda Nova, Algarve

FIRST POSTED: 27th July 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 18th July 2019

It doesn’t matter how many trips I have booked or intend to book each year, one is absolutely non-negotiable (or even sacred!) – and that is my week in the south of Portugal, which includes at least a day in the Alentejo, and the rest of the week in the Algarve. This year, I was in for a treat.

Going to São Paulo has never been on my bucket list, per se, but I have always been curious about this massive city. On a recent trip to Rio de Janeiro, I decided to take a little detour and spend 24 hours in São Paulo. And delighted to have done so.

My favourite places in Palm Springs and Palm Desert

FIRST POSTED: 10th June 2012 | LAST UPDATED: 15th September 2015

My love for California isn’t news to anyone. I LOVE it! People sometimes ask me why I keep going back year after year, and there is surely some type of magnet that attracts me to this place. I love San Francisco, Santa Monica and San Diego, but the Desert Cities, located a little over an hour from Los Angeles, have a special place in my heart.
