After much recommendation from everyone a few months ago I visited Lake Garda in Italy. I stayed in a little town called Sirmione situated on the southern shores of Lake Garda at the end of a thin peninsula. Being the north most point where olive oil trees are grown in Europe for the production of […]

This time last year I visited a good friend of mine in Warsaw. For a change of scenery, we decided to spend a weekend in Krakow, staying in a lovely boutique hotel in the Jewish quarter. Having explored the many sights of the historical town the day before, the next day we took a short drive […]

Cricket might be known as a global sport, but its heartbeat truly lies in local communities. From small village greens to suburban parks, these cricket clubs and groups are where the game comes alive, and where it actually means something personal. Local cricket isn’t just about playing matches, it’s about belonging to a community of […]

Tot ziens, Nederlands! I recently had the opportunity to visit the Netherlands – my first (mostly) solo trip abroad. The first leg of my trip took place in Amsterdam, where I was able to take in the picturesque canals and the colourful canal houses aligning them. I always seemed to be on the move, whether on […]

Last weekend, we came together for the annual SGM-FX Summer Party — a fantastic day filled with great company, delicious food, music, and plenty of fun!  It was the perfect chance for the team to reconnect, relax, and reflect on all the hard work and progress we’ve made. We’re all excited for what’s ahead.  A […]

Whilst I enjoy packing my suitcases and jetting off in search for culture, adventure or guaranteed sunshine, I equally like to explore what the UK has to offer. One of my best-loved destinations to visit is the Norfolk Broads. Situated in East Anglia and popular with British holiday-makers, the broads is a unique area of waterways […]

In the course of my career I have been lucky enough to have worked at one time or another in all the major financial centres as well as in most other smaller regional cities. If London, New York and Tokyo are the largest markets where I have worked, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, Dubai, Riyadh, Kuwait, […]

If you’re chasing sunshine, swaying palms, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, Punta Cana delivers a slice of Caribbean heaven that’s hard to top. I visited in June, and from the moment I landed, I was greeted with warm air, vibrant energy, and the feeling that something special was about to unfold.  For me the biggest highlight […]

February opened the perfect window for travel, and I decided to tick the next destination off my must-visit list: Rome!  In short, Rome stole my heart. The city is like walking through a living museum – every corner reveals ancient ruins and rich history. Walking 30,000 steps a day felt like nothing. The weather, though, wasn’t […]

I recently attended the final match of Carlo Ancelotti and Luka Modrić at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. An occasion that will remain etched in my memory. The stadium was at full capacity, with every supporter (opponents included) united in paying tribute to two remarkable individuals who have profoundly shaped the legacy of Real Madrid. From […]

I recently had the pleasure of holidaying in Faro and Albufeira, two gems of the Algarve in Portugal, and it was nothing short of amazing. A trip to the Algarve wouldn’t be complete without venturing out onto the water. One morning, we joined a boat tour that weaved through hidden sea caves and secluded beaches. […]

Just got back from Dubai, where the sun doesn’t just shine, it performs. Think 35°C, UV 11, sea-salty hair, and enough Vitamin D to qualify as solar-powered. I spent most of the days hopping between sea swims and sun loungers, while staying on the beach til’ the sun went down. Tried wake surfing for the […]
