Hi, I'm a travel journalist & editor, an audio journalist & producer, and a freelance webmaster & web 2.0 consultant.

This site is where I draw those different strands together. 

 
And here (below) is some of the stuff I'm writing about at the moment... 
 

 

25% off Italian boutique hotel

La Casa in CollinaReal Holidays (020 7359 3938) has an exclusive offer: three nights' half-board reduced by 25% to £490 pp (two sharing) at La Casa in Collina, a boutique design hotel in Umbria. Flights and car hire extra.

The hotel mixes old and new. " Imagine the feeling of lightness...your body immersed in a 40ft infinity pool overlooking the undulating Marche hills; taking a break from your tan and your book for a leisurely, locally-inspired lunch prepared by the owners (former restaurateurs); being able to check your emails mid-afternoon on the Apple Mac in the lobby; enjoying an aperitif early-evening, sunk into a luxurious, vanilla-coloured sofa; and selecting a DVD and a pillow type to go to bed with."
