Syracuse, Sicily (not the one in New York), or Siracusa in Italian, is known for its rich Greek and Roman history with ancient ruins dating back to the 6th century BC. The highlight is Ortigia, an island connected to the mainland by a bridge. This is Syracuse’s old town, where it was founded by ancient Greeks. It’s the most beautiful part of the city with a maze of medieval lanes, Baroque palaces, and a cathedral that shows Sicily’s many layers of history. Simon and I spent a week…

1. A Vision Born on the Tube One evening last autumn, tucked into a quiet carriage of the Northern Line, Priya Kapoor sketched the first logo for Stone & Sage—her fledgling sustainable streetwear brand. Surrounded by stark adverts and neon-lit commuter faces, she paused: fashion doesn’t have to feel disconnected from life—it can live there, too. That spark led Priya—an Indian‑born, London-raised urban promoter—to rethink streetwear from the ground up: vibrant, expressive, and unapologetically sustainable. She would merge bold cultural prints with eco-friendly materials, and urban edge with genuine ethics. 2. From Marketing Exec to Eco‑Fashion Founder Before founding Stone…

Her notepad is half-filled with quotes from a single mother navigating the complexities of the UK’s asylum system. The audio recorder in her pocket captures the sound of a crying toddler, sirens in the background, and the hesitant voice of a woman who hasn’t been asked how she feels—let alone quoted in a story—since arriving in London four years ago. This is Zara Ahmed’s beat: the unheard, the unseen, the unrepresented. In a media landscape often dominated by elite voices and Westminster…

In the heart of South London, a powerful movement is quietly reshaping the future of underserved youth. At the center is Zainab Malik, a passionate educator and tech advocate, whose “Code for Change” initiative is bringing artificial intelligence education to communities traditionally overlooked by the mainstream tech world. Filling the Inclusivity Gap Zainab, 32, recognized a stark digital divide in her local boroughs. Many schools in disadvantaged areas lack the resources to teach beyond basic computing.

Set on a hillside, Taormina is all about the views—down to the Ionian Sea and up to snow-capped Mt Etna, with lush green hills and terracotta-roofed villages in between. This chic Sicilian hill town has been a popular holiday destination for hundreds of years (it was a stop on the 18th century Grand Tour), and even more so since season two of The White Lotus TV show was filmed here. Taormina has mixed reports from visitors. Some say it’s the most beautiful town in Sicily, while others think it’s overcrowded, overpriced, and touristy. Your enjoyment will likely depend on when…

This beautifully restored Tea Clipper of the nineteenth century is another of Greenwich’s great attractions, but I warn you, the price of the ticket is on the upper side. Personally, I think it is a bit steep for what you get, and can be easily admired from the stranger while walking through the river. That said, if you are a true fan of history or love all nautical things, it could be worth the waste. Inside, you can walk under the ship’s helmet, explore the covers and learn about their global trips. And that is an envelope on the perfect…
