Most people would say that being a travel writer is a dream job, but sometimes I have to disagree. Being the boyfriend/best friend/spouse of a travel writer is the better gig because it means you get to have all the perks (travelling and staying in fab places) without any of the downsides (taking notes and writing things up). That said, last weekend I was the happy recipient of a brilliantly planned weekend that I didn't have to organise- and it was so good I just have to write about it.
