The Moncey: Luggage That Will Never Fail You!
The Delsey Moncey is a hard-case suitcase that's rainproof, not waterproof, and a lot stronger than your average hard case.
Dubai Through My Eyes
Dubai felt like two worlds at once to me, one very modern and one very traditional.
Luxuria is The Burj Al Arab
You can't just walk into the Burj Al Arab. You need a time-slot reservation with a partial payment in advance, so book ahead. For me, it was worth it.
Nearly 12 hours in New Delhi
Akshay and I had nearly 12 hours in New Delhi. We stayed at the Taj Diplomatic Palace and saw the Qutub Minar and the Red Fort in 41 degree heat.
Delsey: The Luggage That Has It All!
I took my Delsey Chatelet suitcase to Cappadocia. On the rocky ground at Sunrise Point, its Lock & Stop brake kept it standing still on a slope.
5 Places In London I Love
My five favourite places in London: Les Senteurs perfumery in Belgravia, the pink Peggy Porschen cafe, the London Eye, St. Pancras and The Landmark London.
Dreams & Sunflower Fields
For a whole year I wanted a photo in a sunflower field, and this summer I finally got it, at a 75-acre field in Hamilton, Ontario.
The Ultimate Chai Latté
The best café I found in Montreal is Tommy. Their chai latte comes topped with dried rose petals in a pink heart-shaped mug.
