Top Ten Books on India

August 13, 2014

One of the ways I prepare for any trip abroad is to read up before I go, then while I’m travelling, and normally when I get home (to keep the good memories fresh). With a country, or subcontinent really, as vast and as varied as India, in everything from geography and religions to histories, cultures […]

Top Ten Things to Love at Ham Yard Hotel

July 25, 2014

It was nearly a year and a half ago, on a cold and wintry day, that I stumbled across a big building site in the very heart of Soho, where the streets are small and windy, and it’s very easy to lose your way. From the corner of my eye I spotted the give-away Firmdale […]

Top Ten Travel Quotes

July 13, 2014

“Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you travelled.” – Mohammed The reason I work in the travel industry is because I truly think that it is a force for good (and I suppose staying at luxury hotels around the world is always quite fun). Travel, perhaps even more so than formal education, teaches, […]

Top Ten Things to Love at Taj Falaknuma Palace

June 11, 2014

It’s not very often that I visit a hotel which I think deserves its very own blog. So far, in the history of the Tiny Traveller’s Top Ten, only one hotel has received this honour.

Top Ten Jean-Michel Gathy Designs

May 16, 2014

Despite this, and the fact that they are enjoyed by so many, those who design hotels have […]

Top Ten Latest Travel Adventures (France, Scotland & Morocco)

The months of February and March took me on many mini travel adventures. So many in fact, that I’ve found it difficult to squeeze in time to write them all down. I’ve visited family in the South of France, spent a sunny weekend in Marrakech, went skiing in Austria and popped up to Scotland for […]

Top Ten London Dating Hotspots

January 28, 2014

One of the many benefits of living in a city like London is that there is always a restaurant, bar or pub that you haven’t been to yet. The vast majority of Londoners have their own version of the ‘list’ – nearly always ambitious and completely unachievable – an eclectic range of the eateries and […]

Top Ten Swimming Pools in London

August 15, 2013

At this time of year everyone seems to be either on holiday, leaving for, or coming back from 10 days of sun, sea and sand somewhere hot. Although everyone’s idea of holiday heaven is different, my perfect getaway consists of great company, beautiful weather and a gorgeous swimming pool to lie by all day long, […]

Top Ten Resorts in the Maldives

June 11, 2013

The most common complaint people have when looking to book a Maldives holiday is that there are just so many resorts. Where to start? Hotel websites all claim to be the best resort, travel agents might want to push you towards certain hotels with whom they have better relationships with, and even supposedly objective review […]
