The Art of Leisure

Abroad is a digital travel journal by Eric Meyer—entrepreneur, hotelier, restauranteur, and seeker of the extraordinary, the quiet, and the well-considered. Based most often in Mexico, but never for long, Eric moves through the world with an eye for detail, a preference for elegance, and a deep appreciation for places where time seems to bend a little.

This journal was born not of wanderlust, but of reverence—for beauty, for stillness, for craftsmanship, and for the people who shape the world's most remarkable places, often without recognition. The dispatches here are not reviews. They are reflections. They are field notes from a life shaped by the pursuit of hidden places, sweeping views, soulful hospitality, and the kind of settings that stay with you—long after you’ve left.

Abroad is wholly independent—unaffiliated, unsponsored, and refreshingly uncompromised. There are no ads, no brand deals, and no complimentary stays. Every featured property is personally selected, fully paid for, and deeply experienced. There’s no content quota here, no Instagram channel, and no obligation to write about every stop along the way. Most places visited never make the cut. What you’ll find instead are dispatches from only the world’s most exceptional places—places that move, inspire, and imprint themselves on the soul—whispering to return when the world gets too loud.
