Tuscany, Italy.
I have a soft spot for Tuscany as I proposed to my wife there. We were staying in an old farmhouse surrounded by an olive grove and a vineyard. We basically lived off freshly baked sourdough, tomatoes and basil from the garden, olive oil from the farm and red wine. It was tough. Tuscany is an even more beautiful place than it’s made out to be.
Austin, Texas.
Austin is such a buzzing place. I was travelling around the US after a tour of Canada last year and was told I had to go to Austin. I’d planned to stay 3 nights but ended up doubling that. It was super hot while I was there, so Barton Springs was the place to be. It’s a great little swimming hole right in the middle of town. Austin is also where guitarist, Stevie Ray Vaughan is from and I’m a huge fan of his.
Kamala, Thailand.
Kamala is a really beautiful nook on Phuket. It’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle that most would expect from this kind of destination. The people are lovely and the food is amazing.
Rocky Mountains, BC, Canada.
I’ve been lucky enough to tour Canada several times and every time I drive in to the Rocky Mountains, I’m as amazed as the first time I saw them. Truly one of nature’s finest wonders.
Ireland…all of it.
I’m lucky enough to have married into an Irish family. One of the perks is having plenty of places to stay when we travel to Ireland. The Irish are so charming and the scenery (as well the Guinness) are second to none.
