Twenty years living and travelling in the Far East and a career in design journalism gives Caroline the important Guru credentials of being a lover of unique hotels and a stickler for interesting and stylish interior detail. Caroline now lives with her family and 2 ill-disciplined hairy Dachshunds in Scotland from where she runs the well-known mail-order company Mandarina Shoes - and of course continues her travelling adventures. www.mandarinashoes.com
