London, United Kingdom · 3-day itinerary
Three considered days through Bloomsbury, Kensington and Richmond: extraordinary interiors, a long lunch, independent books and a Thames walk with room to linger. A London Edition with a copyable itinerary, booking priorities, realistic walking allowances and alternatives for rain.

Munich, Germany · 2-day itinerary
Warm pastry near the market, the Isar between neighbourhoods, dumplings in the Au and an evening in Giesing. Two summer days in a Munich that reveals itself through small, repeatable pleasures—and gives you plenty of reasons to sit down.

London, United Kingdom · 3-day itinerary
An East End breakfast, a bakery courtyard in Dalston, lunch beside the canal and a walk across Hampstead Heath. Three days in the London I enjoy coming back to, with the city’s distances taken seriously and very little urgency between stops.

Barcelona, Spain · 2-day itinerary
Winter suits the Barcelona I keep returning to: food markets with shopping to do, a little vermouth, an afternoon with Miró and neighbourhood squares that ask for very little. Two days from Sant Antoni and Poble-sec to Barceloneta and Gràcia, with time to get warm in between.

Santanyí & Cala d’Or, Mallorca · 3-day itinerary
Three unhurried days in Mallorca’s southeast: market mornings in Santanyí, the working waterfront of Cala Figuera, pine-backed swims at Mondragó, and a proper Mallorcan dinner in Cala d’Or. This is the corner of the island I like to return to with very little to prove.
