Get used to getting lost

Five things you can’t travel without..

1) Running shoes

2) A book related to the purpose of my trip that I know I’m gonna read

3) A second book I probably won’t read

4) My journal

5) A well-researched list of restaurants and cafes

The top 3 art spots according to your art world persona in any destination

Madrid’s best kept secret?

Wine infused salsa listening sessions at my studio on Fridays for friends and friends of friends.

Where do we find you on a day off?

Either on a long walk somewhere in the city, or trying out new recipes in my kitchen for my wife and daughter.

Hôtel Weekend

Travel for yourself, not for others. Embrace a slower pace and get to know the heart of your destination. Walk barefoot and tilt your head up to the sun. Enjoy the journey itself; take a road trip, sit in the window of a train or on the deck of a boat. Seek out hidden gems and soak up the atmosphere. Set your out of office. Make memories you'll treasure.
