My Insiders
No one can possibly be everywhere at once, nor can one person have a wide enough spectrum for so many others to follow. That’s why whether I’m on a magnificent dune in Oman experiencing a new culture or spending time at home with friends in London, I’m confident that one of my Insiders is somewhere else in the world, sending me notes to add to the files. These people live all over the world and like me, are on a quest for what's truly worth it.
My Insiders were borne out of my personal rolodex and continues to expand to people I’ve met along the way. These (unpaid!) contributors include art collectors, interior designers, film producers, vintners, world travelers, renowned chefs, boutique owners, event planners … and more. These people are my eyes and ears around the globe – a well-traveled and well-connected network that offers firsthand insights and unbiased opinions to add color and breadth to the files. You'll frequently see their notes as quotes and mentions in my files. I love to highlight the savvy insights of others I trust. If you’d like to be considered, send us an email telling us why.
