Click on the photo below to watch a recent episode from the series Eat. Stay. Love. for Conde Nast that tried to show what well thought out venues like restaurants and hotels, can do for a city. Cities included: (Lisbon, Crete, Edinburgh, Dublin, Dallas, Morocco, Los Angeles, Denver, Dubai and Chicago).
Most recently I've been working with Conde Nast Traveller on a series called Eat. Stay. Love. It's clever so deal with it. The show is about finding the story behind the restaurant, golf course, hotel etc.. 2 rules to traveling I abide by: 1. be respectful 2. don't be afraid to ask locals lots of questions (while referring to rule number 1). Click on the photo above to watch one or two.
Previously I was working with Travel & Leisure magazine; I was hosting a series called 'The Overnighter' aimed at showing what one should do if you only have a short amount of time in a city. Check them out here:

Charity Event Host and Auctioneer
For the last few years I have been hosting Charity Events and helping non-profits raise money, by not only only running the live auctions and pledges, but by working with the organizations to try and raise more on the night.
