Realised that I missed the one month anniversary of being here in #losangeles. Some days it feels like I have been here months and months. Other days feels like I have only been here a week. It’s been a lot of hard work with meetings most day from 6am (some 5.30) right through to 6/7pm. Lots to take in, lots to work on, and lots to drive forward. Of course though I have tried to do a lot of things along side that to make the time here enjoyable at evenings and weekends. Having been to a couple of @dodgers games, a @lafc game, the @petersenmuseum, @indycar as well as a bit closer to home the @santamonicapier. I have been made to feel so welcome by colleagues and friends. Got a few days in Vegas coming up, some @nascar and then hopefully will catch @lakers game. It’s been an utterly amazing experience being here and just grateful to be given the opportunity by my company to do this, even for a couple of months…

Second part of my weekend was @nashvillesuperspeedway for the @indycar championship final which saw @alexpalou crowned a 3 time champion in the series. Having also done the @indianapolismotorspeedway #indy500 this year it was great to see another race! Also got myself paddock pass and it’s such good value to be able to get up close to all the teams, cars and drivers. #indycar for me really is the best value and exciting racing on the planet!

36 hours in Nashville. Was meant to watching the baseball @nashvillesounds but sadly the weather got the better of the match. Then onto the @nashvillesuperspeedway on the Sunday for a full on day of @indycar racing and to see the end of the season! So tired at the end of the busy weekend but was great weekend away!

Great fun this evening at my first @dodgers game! Giving everything that #losangeles and the #usa has to offer a try! Great win for the #dodgers! Tried the food, got some merch, bought a drink and tried to say out of the sun! It was a hot one out there! Only Downside was taking an hour to get out of the stadium! What an enjoyable night though!

Join me at the @f1exhibition @excellondon! What a great couple of hours this was exploring @f1 history. Even as a self confessed F1 geek there was still lots to see and do. If you’re just a casual fan there is a lot of facts and figures that will give you more of an understanding about the sport. Lots to like from the cars, bits of history and the Grosjean Hass which is shown at the end of the exhibition. Personal headsets allow you to listen to clips in your own time or speed. Also numbers are limited which never made the whole time feel cramped when exploring. Make sure you catch it until the end of December!

So PLASA show on Sunday and Monday will be my last days in the UK for a little while….
I’m excited to announce, that from Thursday 5th September, I will be working out of our global HQ in Los Angeles until the end of December 2024, working on a number of different projects for the business. This will allow me to spend time with our wider group Senior Leadership on the development of the Martin brand globally along with other things. Will be a great opportunity for me personally and professionally. 
I will be at PLASA Sunday/Monday so looking forward to catching up with many EMEA customers before I head off. And of course if you find yourself in LA please do let me know as it would be great to catch up!

My Top 5 USA Cities

I've been lucky to travel to a lot of the USA. With our Route 66 Road trip being one of my first introductions to the USA (apart from New York) I've now done 14 states. Ok that might not be as many as some - but having spoken with some American's who've not even left their county let alone their state, it's not probably a bad amount! However what are My Top 5 USA cities? There are many people from around the world who might only visit New York or perhaps Orlando with the theme parks. Whilst of course they are great and at least one of them might feature in this Top 5 there are so many other places that you as a visitor should be ticking off! Not…

Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown

I have to say it - but this hotel is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Just everything about the Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown is perfect. I'm as you will know a big fan of the Indigo brand from IHG. I've stayed at a number of them and another one of my favourites is Hotel Indigo Bath. But the Hotel Indigo Dubai Downtown tops this in every way. It's my must go to hotel in Dubai when I stay in the city and for everything that it has to offer there isn't much more that it has to offer. Nestled amidst the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, this boutique hotel offers a tranquil oasis that provides the perfect escape from the city's hustle and bustle but also close…

The Rollercoaster Ride of Business Travel: Soaring Highs and Swooping Lows

As with anything glamorous, business travel has its own set of highs and lows that make the ride all the more exhilarating. Exotic locations, opulent hotel rooms and sealing deals in skyscraper boardrooms can be intoxicating; yet just like fine wine has its own complex notes of highs and lows - let's experience this captivating world firsthand on this rollercoaster ride of business travel.

F1 Arcade Review

If you have followed this blog or indeed follow me on instagram you should know (if you don't what rock are you hiding under?!) that I'm a massive motor sports fan. From doing the triple crown of Le Mans, Indy 500 and Monaco Grand Prix. This year we also headed to the Daytona 500 - another "classic" race. Basically I can't get enough of anything to do with 4 wheels, a large engine and them going around a track. So when F1 opened the Formula 1 Arcade end of last year - this was definitely on the "must do" list. I've been a couple of times now to the London venue both with my wife and also with a group of friends.  So what did I make of the Formula One…
