So, you like to travel lots and live the high life as you do?! Well, I know I certainly do, and picking out the hot spots to eat / sleep / drink and visit can sometimes take way too much time and effort, and lead you on a bit of a wild trail.

So, when I was in Waterstones recently and saw the Hedonist’s Guides to London and Paris…two of my favourite cities, I jumped on them. Along with the accompanying website, hg2.com these are pretty much the coolest travel guides I’ve ever picked up, listing the coolest, hippest, trendiest spots to go, whilst helpfully pointing out the overly pretentious spots to avoid. If you’re heading to any of the cities listed here make sure you pick up one of these guides first!
