…with a journey. Shortly after my 29th birthday an idea I’d had ten years previously came to fruition, and through a combination of hard work and a lot of good luck I found myself set, as they say, for life. I immediately began planning a round-the-world journey, and that’s where the idea for this blog was born.

At the time I wanted to post an ongoing travelogue of what was to be my year off, but quickly gave up on that: some people may be able to keep a journal when they’re on the holiday of a lifetime, but I’m not one of them. However, when I returned from my travels I found many of my former colleagues (who also had life-changing windfalls when we sold our company) were sick of being described as “high net worth individuals” and appreciated the personal and honest opinion of a review of such and such hotel or exec lounge from a friend who’d actually been there.

From that idea this blog was born: a place for reviews of products, services and anything else of interest to those who are lucky enough to be able to afford the best.
