Cities I Love

A series for travellers, dreamers, and anyone who has ever fallen for a place.

It’s a crazy time right now, isn’t it?

In the midst of everything, I’ve been reminiscing about how lucky I’ve been to spend time in some of the most extraordinary cities on earth. Not just passing through but really being in them. Walking their streets at odd hours, eating where the locals eat, getting lost on purpose, and coming back again and again until a place starts to feel like a second home.

This series is my attempt to capture what I love about each one. Not a conventional guide! You won’t find exhaustive lists of hotels or opening hours. What you will find is what genuinely moves me about each city: the things that make it irreplaceable, the things that keep drawing me back, and the practical, hard-won knowledge that comes from multiple visits.

My twenty-one favourite cities. All of them are extraordinary in their own way. All of them are worth our time.
