Hello! I'm Lewis
Hotels, Diving, Wine, Food & Extraordinary placesA little about me
Hi, I’m Lewis, the founder of Roaming Whispers.
Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve travelled extensively, stayed in an extraordinary number or hotels and developed an almost ridiculous fascination with the details that separate somewhere good and somewhere unforgettable.
I notice the things that are easy to overlook: the lighting in the hotel room, the scent in a lobby, whether the staff remember your name, the glassware at the bar, the quality of the linen, the view from a particular room, or the sommelier who introduces you to a bottle you end up thinking about years later.
Roaming Whispers grew from that obsession.

My interest in hotels stems from noticing the smallest of details. From design, landscaping right down to the lighting and scent. Im happy discussing beautifully designed suites, a great bottle of wine, a hidden restaurant or. dive site forty metres beneath the ocean.
