James Viles, one of Australia’s most respected chefs and restaurateurs, heads back to Bamurru Plains in March 2024 for a four-day, hands-on culinary safari. During the safari, guests sample native ingredients and wild bush flavors distinct to this Australian Top End habitat and ecosystem. Known for his approach to food, in which he promotes a sustainable and respectful food culture, James shares the same beliefs with the Bamurru Plains, a Wild Bush Luxury Experience.

Feb 12, 2025La Samanna, A Belmond Hotel, St. Martin Review
I recently visited La Samanna, a Belmond Hotel, located on Baie Longue (Long Bay) on the Caribbean island of St. Martin. Although most of the resort is on the French side of St. Martin, a very small piece sits on the Dutch side, Sint-Maarten, making it possible to walk from France to Holland, and back again, by taking two steps. Of course, since most of the resort’s guests speak English, everyone working at the resort speaks English as well.

Of all the places in the world, San Diego still feels to me like the one that got away. With its warm ocean, outdoor lifestyle and chill attitude, there aren’t many reasons to leave once you’re there. Somehow, though, after college, I did leave, and so did my husband. Fast-forward a decade or so, after a blind date led to two boys, a house in the Los Angeles suburbs and a desire to share all the San Diego things with our teens during spring break.
