About ROOVMAIL
Captivated by the place where concept meets creation, ROOVMAIL is a catalog of inspirations, experiences and conversations.
Roovmail is my long-awaited blog for sharing personal narratives from over a decade of working in luxury travel around the world. Tracking the latest trends and new offerings, the blog will feature exclusive destinations, boutique accommodations, travel recommendations and new experiences for the discerning traveler. I’ll divulge names, insights, and opinions of what’s good now and what’s up next. It’s my place to talk to you as a friend, an introduction to my world and a route out of the ordinary to discover the extraordinary.

Next Up – Our Favorite New Roadside Hotel & Restaurant - Hotel Corazon
I’ve asked the gods for more worthy stops and stays on my most frequented road at home and they answered with my heart’s desire - Hotel Corazon. Word on the street was this place was happening, an agrotourismo that you wanted to hang out at on the road between Deia and Soller.
Next Up - Richard Branson’s New Property Son Bunyola
We’ve had varying thoughts on Branson’s retreats. His properties in Africa are not our favorite - they are out of place and focus on luxurious materials rather than the luxury of connecting to an experience. He’s been at odds with local property owners who have taught the media magnate a thing or two about conservation and community. But what Branson did with La Residencia in Deia was inspired and perhaps he’s done it again here.
Jen’s Favorite Things
One of our biggest requests is a roundup of what we’re into, excited about and finding along the way. My favorite things are a download of what’s on my radar at present.
The American Road Trip
Designed for foreigners and natives alike, the itinerary provides a taste of the quintessential California good life and evokes visual and temporal experiences that won’t soon be forgotten.
A Postcard from Arles - Europe’s Lesser-Known Art Destination
I track trends, investigate new ventures and love traveling to discreet places where true style and elegance still prevail. “I like when places have a pulse and a real point of view - an identity of their own.” - Jen Johnson
