ESSENTIAL
(carry-on items)
Headphones: Sony WH-1000XM4.
Grooming brands: I’m not really into grooming, my hair is always messy so I wear a Stetson Open Road hat to counter it.
Luggage: Tumi and/or Velomacchi duffel bag; hidden pocket knife and a Guang Carbon Full Face helmet because I’m always riding wherever I travel.
Jet lag remedy: Mostly gin.
FAVOURITE

Airlines: Delta and Con Air!
Airport: I like Heathrow (London) and Changi in Singapore – once flew in at daybreak with beautiful colours over the ocean and city.
Hotels: For a ‘staycation’ – Petit Ermitage in West Hollywood; when travelling – Gaylord Opryland Resort; Hermitage hotel, both in Nashville, Tennessee.
Restaurants: Yang Chow in Chinatown L.A. has incredible Mandarin and Szechuan cuisine; Tavern On The Green, an iconic New York eatery within Central Park for terrific food and scenery.
Bars: Roger’s Exciting Tattle Tale Room in Inglewood, California – it’s so very L.A. with a lot of history and features in countless movies and TV shows – it’s the ultimate dive bar!
