    Organic Architecture — Ilulissat Icefjord

    The great American biologist E.O. Wilson says that if we are to safeguard the systems on which all species – including our own – depend, we must devote half of all available land mass to nature. Nature is forgiving. It will bounce back – if we let it. And nature, more than anything else, holds…

    READY TO ROAR AGAIN — The Welsh Dragons

    Welsh football has gone from strength to strength over the past decade and this progression doesn’t look like changing any time soon. This improvement was clearly evident when the Welsh squad, led by then manager Chris Coleman qualified for the European Championships back in 2016, their first major tournament since the World Cup in 1958.…

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    If you thought we were deep in the age of the entrepreneur before, we’re about to encounter new depths, as recent events have rocked the world in its entirety — both digital and actual — leaving business sectors worldwide needing innovation to simply survive, let alone grow. However, one “niche” sector of entrepreneurship is focused…

    Water — Leica Oskar Barnack Award 2019

    The Leica Oskar Barnack Award celebrates photography that captures the relationship between man and his environment. Afterall, it was for this very reason that the Leica camera came about in the first place; the ambition to make a camera that was compact enough to enable you to capture images on your travels. “In my view,…

  • Select Aperitivo | A Venetian Story

    Select Aperitivo | A Venetian Story

    I’d never been to Venice before which is strange, firstly given my ardent love for Italy and secondly given that Venice is regarded in many minds as one of Italy’s crown jewels; it’s Waterworld-esque existence being a truly unique proposition. My task was to broaden my Aperitivo knowledge beyond the realms of drinking Aperol Spritz in…

  • SOUND OF RUM

    SOUND OF RUM

    There’s an ineffable electricity in the tang of a rum cocktail. A kind of hot, cloying constitution that limbers the soul and, more than any other spirit, tastes like a good time. You’ll be hard pushed to find a drink that is so redolent of colour and sound as rum. It’s the carnival drink; the…

    DRIVEN | Ferrari Portofino x Portmeirion

    I’ve always had a distractingly vivid imagination, so as I was headed to test Ferrari’s latest convertible — the Ferrari Portofino — my mind needed no invitation to wander. I was instantly drawn to images of its namesake in Italy, as I slalomed with the roof-down through sepia hued mountains, drawing ever nearer to the…

  • CULLINAN | A Suburban Adventure

    CULLINAN | A Suburban Adventure

    When I think Scotland, I immediately think whisky; the jus synonymous with its heritage and the rolling green landscape for which the country is renown. Having said that, when I leave, whisky is normally the last thing on my mind, as I find myself more drawn to the ‘beauty of quiet’ and natural-immersion that Scotland…

    An Original Recipe | Mr King’s 1842

    It was only as we made our way down to the south coast of England, that I realised I hadn’t really given much thought to the trip ahead; the busy, vicissitudinal nature of my week robbing me of that luxury. “What drink would you like?” the waitress asked me. It was after “work hours” and…

    Ford Focus Active | A Different A’Zur

    When you think of the Cote de Azur, the first thing that comes to mind are the illustrious events it hosts, those palm-treed avenues and picturesque cays. The yachts ceremoniously docked in the famed marina, the Hollywood Elite lining the red carpet, humouring the paparazzi as they frequent the Cannes Film Festival. There’s champagne, seafood…

    Where to? | Mezemiso

    The idea of finding — or at least deciding on — a suitable place to eat can be a daunting task. “They have an App for that.” Yes, I’m sure they do but all that presents you with is a plethora of choice, more than you can realistically be bothered to sift through. So what…

  • Where to? | Central Hotel Ljubljana

    Where to? | Central Hotel Ljubljana

    It was the first time I’d been to Slovenia, and hence it was the first time I’d been to Ljubljana; the quaint capital city that is more a village in feel — and I mean that as a compliment. The friendly people with warm smiles, coupled with the small size of the city centre make for…

    DRIVEN | BMW Z4 M40i 2019

    The idea that there is “a” perfect car for you is nought but fallacy—but you can get pretty close. It’s not a simple case of brand, style, or even design, but the “where” and “why” you drive that make your perfect choice of car all the more elusive. For example, picture arriving at that idyllic…

    SERAC | With the world in mind

    There is something to be noted with the industries current fascination with sustainability. Those within the circle will know that the conversation is nothing new, yet it can only be a positive that the topic is being widely discussed and welcomed by brands new and old. However, there remains a key problem in truly enabling…
