The travel corridor announced mid-October between the UK and Crete allowed for a brief family escape to a Crete without the crowds. It was perfect timing for Sea Sand and Sun ahead of what is shaping up to be a very looong winter. It also gave me a chance to...

At the Banksy hotel
You know the street artist Banksy, right? Did you know that he has a hotel in Bethlehem, Palestine? It's called the Walled Off Hotel and generates lots of controversy, as you'd expect. But whichever side of the wall you are on, Banksy...
15 family-owned secret hotels by the Mediterannean
I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list. I am not a fan of large, group-owned, cookie-cutter hotels in general, but when they're by the sea, I have a physical reaction to them. This blog post is another list of secret places: sweet little family-run hotels...
Peligoni Club in Zakinthos: a flexible take on the family resort
There's family resort, and there's family resort, right? I've written about the dilemma of choosing one before. We've loved our time in Fiji at the JM Cousteau resort, during our trip around the world. We've also loved our very un-resorty time in Tobago, for the lack...
São Tomé & Príncipe islands: the perfect antidote to teens screen time
I love it when I hear of a place that has never crossed my mind before: São Tomé and Príncipe, off the coast of West Africa. Have you been? It is a country made of two small islands, at the same latitude as Gabon. They...
1950’s Technicolor at La Minervetta, Amalfi coast
Technicolove is a magic technic. Have you heard of it?! Reds, Blues, Yellows to beat the boredom of a long-standing relationship. Si! Yes! It works! La Minervetta is a very special place, part of my more extensive...
Tobago, the un-resort Caribbean gem
I had been meaning to take the children to a lively carnival for a while. Turns out, we never made it to the streets of carnival on Tobago because we were too busy doing everything else. What a winter treat this island was, like an unexpected little candy: sweet,...
Barefoot luxury at Zighy Bay, Oman
I remember watching the movie The Barefoot Contessa with Ava Gardner as a teenager, and thinking that the title was the most appealing oxymoron. I feel like mimicking the idea here, as barefoot luxury truly says it all about the days that we spent at the eco-resort...
3 little gems in the Alps
There's still time to squeeze in some family ski if you're in the Northern Hemisphere! Easter break falls really early this year in Europe, which means that the snow is still good in the Alps and the sun is already shining. Enjoying a ski vacation with young children...
The experience of a lifetime in the Brazilian Amazon
Years ago, when I was wild and free, I took a trip through the Orinoco delta, deep in the tropical forests of Venezuela. It was just me (ok, and an ex-boyfriend), the driver of the boat and a guide. We slept in hammocks under mosquito nets, I bathed in the Orinoco...
Swap Swap and Behomm
Our decisions are more often than not driven by a sense of community, of belonging. This is truer than ever in the travel market. I talked about Kid & Coe recently, a brand new website dedicated to allowing design-loving families to rent vacation properties...

How I traveled to Syria for my birthday, and loved it
Yes I traveled to Syria last week. Not the broken and abused Syria that we all know from the news but the Syria full of colours, smiles and flavours that once stood proud. That’s right, that's where we all went on Thursday night with a bunch of super girlfriends and...
i am a pure and proud product of immigration
this is me in the 70's at my beloved grandmother's house. i am a pure and proud product of immigration. My Christian grandmother escaped poverty in Italy between the two wars and crossed the Alps with mother and brothers in search of a better life in the mining towns...
I wonder what Hemingway would say about Cuba today
Everyone's talking about Cuba these days, and I am thrown 20 years back to when I first visited this special island, and left it with mixed feelings about its future. I was 20 years old back then. During a summer internship in Caracas (that's a whole other blog...
The wife vs. the mother, Bhutan |1|
We're back from a trip in Bhutan, which I really want to document properly on BozAround. It will be mainly through photos as I took sooo many, and they will tell much more about this beautiful country than my own words. Bhutan is roughly the size of Switzerland,...
