When Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, opened on Costa Rica’s Peninsula Papagayo last year, it quickly became inextricable from the tropical hillside it calls home.

Yet not all soft drinks are equal. With issues in the soft drinks industry – from sugar production, plastic packaging, and workers’ rights – your favourite beverage could be…

(For the record, this reputation was, even then, deeply outdated.) But I loved it. “Most of my peers would have been mortified to go to an exercise class of any kind with their mother, let alone an aerobics workout…but…

Yesterday, I attended United Airlines’ fun Media Day in one of their LAX hangars. Before the event started, United had already sent out a press release packed with announcements and there was a lot to digest. But one thing they purposely kept under wraps was the big surprise: the introduction of their new “Relax Row.” The crowd buzzed with excitement and I was no exception. It immediately took me back to Air New Zealand’s delivery flight in 2010 when they first introduced a similar concept (photo below). As it turns out, United collaborated with their Star Alliance partner on the…
