KEY All prices are in British pounds, euros or American dollars unless otherwise specified KELLY Di NARDO In researching refuges of peace and silence across the globe for Quiet Matters (p72), the American writer says what she found most interesting was “just how much noise impacts our physical and mental health. Noise messes with our sleep, stress and hearing and puts us at increased risk of disease,” DiNardo writes regularly about wellness and travel for The New York Times and O. Hotel is a member of FINE HOTELS & RESORTS JOSH SIMS As well as covering subjects from skis to saxophones via jukeboxes for our Personal Touch special section (p43), the UK-based writer and editor found a surprising amount of bespoke goings-on in the world of panic rooms for our story Safety First (p70), with comfort and even entertainment joining security as vital measures. Sims has contributed to the likes of Robb Report, Esquire and The Times. $ THOMAS DUNNE The links of Ireland have long been a drawcard for visitors from across the Atlantic, but according to the US Departures contributing editor, increased competition from courses in the States and Mexico have had an impact. As he proves in An Irish Golfing Boom (p22), the options have never been better for the Emerald Islebound golfer. Establishment is either cash only or does not accept American Express cards MIGUEL FLORES-VIANNA Visiting Ruben Alterio in Paris was a delight for the Argentinean photographer for In the Painter’s Studio (p52). “Nothing beats Paris in a place like Ruben’s on a sunny day,” he says. Alterio, a fellow Argentinian, made for good company and during the photoshoot, the painter’s talent as a pianist was a crowning touch.
