June 30, 2026 So, the secret is officially out. John made a joke the other day and called me Dora the Explorer. He even bought me a kick-ass backpack, which I am only now realizing was strategically selected to complete the full Dora look. But honestly? He’s not
June 25, 2026 In March 2025, we packed up the kids, checked out of London, and caught a quick flight south to the sun-drenched rock of Malta. When you tell people you are heading to the middle of the Mediterranean in March, they picture high summer beach clubs and
June 23, 2026 When you are living out of a suitcase across thirty-plus international destinations, you stop seeing airports as transit hubs and start seeing them as tactical battlegrounds. Here is the definitive, no-filter ranking of the world's runways from our global routing. THE GOOD: Elite
June 18, 2026 Every great tour has a legendary opening act. For John and me, the opening act of our entire relationship was a November 2022 road trip. Freshly met, we packed into the car with a friend of mine and pointed the compass north—driving all the way from
June 16, 2026 If you want to move across borders like a professional instead of part of the herd, you need a friction-reduction stack. Here is the unfiltered breakdown on handling the legalities, skipping the bottlenecks, and choosing the right vehicle for the track. The Co-Parenting Cross-Border
June 11, 2026 In October 2022, fresh off the massive stadium grind of year one of Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour, John and I took our very first trip together to Barcelona. We were brand new, figuring out each other’s traveling quirks, and testing the waters. Fast forward
June 9, 2023 Every production manager knows that the first show of a tour is the most stressful. The nerves are high, the routing is fresh, and you're praying the chemistry clicks. For us, the ultimate "First Show" was our very first family trip to Barbados
June 4, 2026 If your entire view of the music business comes from Instagram, you probably think the tour begins when the curtains drop at the O2. But the actual work, the gruelling, unglamorous grit, happens weeks before. It’s called Tour Prep, and it usually involves moving into a
May 28, 2026 The Bahamas has been our family’s go-to for years. We’ve been coming here since the boys were 4 and 7, and I’ve watched the island (and the prices) evolve. It’s a quick flight from Toronto, the weather is consistently perfect, and the
June 2, 2026 If you want to know what "Life on the Road" looks like when it hits your personal life, it looks like planning a Mediterranean wedding across two continents for an island you’ve only seen on Google Maps. We traded the predictable ballroom or Golf
May 26, 2026 Our story didn't start at a five-star gala; it started in a Parisian beer line in 2022. John was the lead LED tech on year one of Ed Sheeran’s Mathematics Tour, and while he calls it "love at first sight," the
May 21, 2026 When the final curtain falls and the gear is packed, the "Loud" life needs a serious "Silent Lux" antidote. John had been on the road for months, and by the end, he was running on fumes. He booked us a 6-day escape
May 19, 2026 This year, while John was living life on the road with Alex Warren, I decided it was time for my own rhythm. After enjoying the energy of Alex’s two massive shows at the O2 in London I headed back to Barcelona to reset. Then, I packed
May 16, 2026 If you look at the grid, it looks like a permanent vacation. 5-star Hiltons in Cape Verde, Michelin dining in Kraków, and backstage passes at the O2. But behind every "Lux" photograph is a "Loud" truth that nobody talks about: Tour life
May 14, 2026 After the sun of Cape Verde, Summer 2024 was all about the green hills of Ireland. We met the kids in Dublin, grabbed a rental car, and headed south for a trip that was part heritage hunt, part culinary tour, and 100% "Loud & Lux."
May 12, 2026 If you think a honeymoon has to be the Maldives or Bora Bora, you haven’t seen the lunar landscapes of Sal. We hit this for our honeymoon back in October 2023, and it was the perfect "High-Low" balance: 5-star luxury at the
May 7, 2026 If you’ve followed our journey, you know I love a high-end lounge, but I live for the places that haven't been "over-polished" yet. Last August, we decided to test the waters in Albania. The mission: 7 days in Ksamil. The
May 5, 2026 When I say we got married in Georgia, most people think peaches and Atlanta. I have to correct them: "No, Georgia the country. Between Turkey and Russia. The place with the wine, the mountains, and the most efficient marriage laws on the planet." Last May
April 28, 2026 If you’ve followed our journey through 45+ countries, you know I’m a planner. I love the points, I love the lounge, and I love a seamless itinerary. But in June 2024, the universe decided to test my "Lux for Less" philosophy on the
April 23, 2026 Italy is a country that demands you experience it in layers. Over the last few years, we’ve done exactly that; visiting as part of a massive world tour, as a high-energy family of four for the holidays, and most recently, as a quiet escape for
April 21, 2026 In August of 2024, Munich wasn't just a city; it was "Adele World." John was working on her record-breaking residency (the 220-meter LED wall was visible from space, I’m sure), and once the final note of 'Someone Like You&
April 16, 2026 I talk a lot about the "Lux for Less." I talk about Hilton Gold status, Aeroplan points, and how to survive a 9-night run at Rio Carnival. But if I’m being "loud" and honest with you, none of that matters if
April 14, 2026 If you think you’ve been to a party, you haven't been to Rio de Janeiro during Carnival. It’s not just a festival; it’s a 128 BPM pulse that takes over the entire city. In 2023, we did a 9-night run at
April 9, 2026 If you live in Toronto and travel for a living, you know that Pearson (YYZ) is our shared trauma. Between the terminal sprints, the "will-they-won't-they" baggage delays, and the 8 hour red-eye to London or Paris, international travel can
