Hi all,For our May shortlist, we’re heading to a springtime favorite: London! I started visiting this city while I was studying in England during university and have tried to get back as often as possible since (and with the exception of this most recent + gloriously sunny visit, I have been rained on every trip).

Hi all,I hope you’re having a lovely month so far. This month we’re heading to Mérida, the truly magical capital of Mexico’s Yucatán state and one of my favorite food + design-focused weekend getaways from CDMX. There’s the best coffee/s in the city to start your days with, the market stop you need to make for cochinita pibil, favorite spots for cocktails and ice cream and stays and so much more.

Hi all,This month we’re heading to Barcelona! Earlier in February,I surprised my partner Laila with a long weekend in one of her favorite cities and just as we filled our time on the ground with plenty of vermouth and gildas and pan con tomate and all manner of boquerones (fried! marinated! wrapped around olives!) so too have I filled this shortlist. Barcelona is one of my favorite favorite cities in the world to eat in and I’m so excited to share these spots with you all.
