Inspiring Travel Writing from Nadia Latif

Nadia Latif

Nadia joined the TI team after a stint of backpacking around Eastern Europe. In a move to London that was supposed to shock her into finding a ‘serious job’ she has happily found herself immersed in her very favourite things – travelling and travel writing, as the website's Assistant Editor.

Since leaving university, her wanderings have taken her to China and through the majority of Europe, and she has taken in North Africa and Jordan in recent years too.

    For me, a cocktail should be sip-able and not too sweet (my fall-back is the Bloody Mary, more like a meal than a cocktail, really, with the added bonus of being acceptable before noon) My cocktail of choice needs to impart an air of sophistication...

    Paris is arguably the most fashion-conscious city on the planet; it certainly holds celebrations of all things couture more often than anywhere else. After a long day of strutting the streets in stilettos, trying not to fall foul of Marc Jacobs’...

    Barnsley House | Nadia Latif
    Barnsley House is a beautiful little boutique hotel in the Cotswolds, formerly the home of Rosemary Verey. Unsurprisingly then, the gardens are a draw in themselves; a riot of quintessential Englishness, with rose hedges, classical herbaceous...

    Room Mate Marina rides the recent wave of slick, contemporary buildings to grace Valencia's beachfront. Owing to a prolific amount of regeneration in this area, it's within walking distance of trendy cocktail bars, design-led boutiques and the...
  • Riad Numero 9 | Nadia Latif
    TI was tired and thoroughly disorientated when we arrived at Riad Numero 9. Shrugging off the offer of a riad-sent guide (how hard could it be?) we landed in Fez quite unprepared for the twisting maze of alleyways and unmarked side streets, so...
  • Ryad Mabrouka | Nadia Latif
    Fez sits immovable and sprawling in a dusty basin in northern Morocco. Its tangle of alleyways and side-streets are mostly unmarked, and a complete conundrum for the uninitiated traveller. It is the oldest intact medieval medina in the Islamic world...
  • Portobello Hotel | Nadia Latif
    The Portobello in London's Notting Hill is a lesson in the sort of discreet and homely charm that seems to work wonders with the entertainment industry. Tucked away from all the flashy and glamourous boutiques that proclaim their rock-star status in...
  • Number Sixteen | Nadia Latif
    Number Sixteen is a chic and sleek boutique hotel tucked away in London's South Kensington. One of the most visited areas of London, South Ken is a throng of bars, restaurants, shops and museums - not a place you'd immediately associate with a good...
  • Jumeirah Lowndes | Nadia Latif
    Jumeirah Lowndes is located in a tranquil corner of Knightsbridge, full of dinky fashion boutiques and a thriving organic cafe culture. Only a short stroll from the flurry of activity on Sloane Square and just minutes away from Harrods, Hamley's and...
  • The Lanesborough Hotel | Nadia Latif
    Guests revisit The Lanesborough again and again. This former hospital overlooking Hyde Park Corner has become something of a London institution; even the heaving traffic that swarms about her doesn't seem to fluster this grande dame in the slightest...
