Welcome to the inner workings of my brain. Please keep in line and stay to the left – everything to your right is nightmare-inducing. Here is a list of properties I want to return to or visit for the first time. They’re not in Upcoming Stays, as they’re clearly unimportant.
You can use this as a safe space to yell at me for what I’m missing or mock me for what I’ve included.
Top priority
These are the properties that currently occupy my hopes, dreams and aspirations. You may have grown up wanting to be an astronaut; I just want to sit in a hotel room.
