When you work in sales or client-facing roles, drinking isn’t just social—it’s part of the job. Dinners, events, late trains home, going to the hotel bar after dinner. A glass of wine here, a pint there. Nothing dramatic. Nothing reckless. But if you’re out two or three nights a week, the units start adding up before you even realise. That was the rhythm I found myself in. And while I was never the guy stumbling out of a bar or chasing the last round (ok occasionally I was - but it certainly wasn't a habbit), I started noticing a different kind of hangover—one that crept in slowly.

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.

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…

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.
