This is without a doubt the coolest picture I’ve taken while traveling here. It’s from Loch Lomond in Scotland. Image
The English coastline is an underrated place to visit. Here’s one from a hiking trip I went on a few weeks ago. Image
Here’s one from the White Cliffs of Dover Image
Bruges, Belgium Image
Barcelona, Spain Image
Athens, Greece Image
Prague, Czechia Image
Germany… pretty sure it’s Heidelberg? Image
I could probably add 100 pictures here but I’ll end it with this video from the coolest place I have been, Iceland:

Some NOLA hotel tips: The Melpomene Suite @ the Pontchartrain Hotel is great for impressing people - it has a piano in it (once played by Stevie Wonder), you can get it for amazingly low rates sometimes. Would cost $1,000's in other cities. Has two bedrooms, so 4 people can stay.
The suites at the Pere Marquette are also astonishingly great value, huge amounts of room, one has a corner bathtub that's pretty great.
Le Pavillon has a bunch of great suites that aren't obvious when you go to the website. You can get some of them for under $300 for two bedrooms (rack rate over $1,200).

OK, here's my favourite NOLA hotel story, and one of my favourite stories about the city. It's long but worth the pay-off and us Brits come out of it badly. It's 1957, and world famous British conductor Sir Thomas Beecham is in town to conduct the Louisiana Philharmonic…
He is an enormous star. Like, Elton John famous. He books into the boutique hotel Maison de Ville...
The hotel backs onto the courtyard of the Court of Two Sisters, which has a famous Jazz Brunch every day, live Dixieland jazz playing all morning and afternoon. Most people quite like it…

I was half living here in 2009 when the Saints won the Superbowl. That particular day is a blur of messy decisions but the day they won the divisional title is such a great memory. Cars stopped, people came out of bars and were hugging in the streets. Pure elation.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love American Football
I got into US football in the late 80s at high school. I bought a short-wave radio and listened to US Forces coverage of the games. Eventually I ran a book at school but rigged the odds as the results didn't hit the UK newspapers until Tuesday. Please nobody tell my schoolmates.

A favorite whacky NOLA hotel incident before I work for a bit and get lunch: In 1935 at Le Pavillon, Huey P Long had one of his goons hang out of a high-storey window with a microphone attached to a long pole to record the conversations of his political opponents.
This is the most cartoonish thing I can imagine. Kind of backfired as Huey P was assassinated soon after, for presumably just this kind of hi-jinx.
Which delivers this NOLA urban legend: on his deathbed, Huey P's handlers were desperate to know where he kept his box of purloined cash (aka, the 'deduct box'), said to contain $1million. "I'll tell you later," he said, and then he promptly passed away.

The Audubon Cottages are swanky now, but in the late 1800s they were shacks. One of them was home to Red Light Liz and her beau, Joe the Whipper. Imagine partying with this couple.
Before that, John James Audubon lived there for a while (hence the name), starting on his bird painting project.
Uncomfortable fact: John James Audubon killed all those birds he painted.

Quick update because I know you're all VERY INVESTED in my personal life: still Not From Here, though I'm more from here than I was, having got my green card (I'm a filthy Brit invader) two years ago.
In 2016, I got married to a Cajun and I've put down pretty strong roots here. Been coming to New Orleans for work and fun since 2001, moved here (when it became too expensive to visit seven times a year) in 2011.
I'm a freelance journalist writing mostly about the travel industry, so I'm responsible for many 'best-of' lists that 50% of the local population hate. I change up the criteria sometimes and then the other 50% hate them.
