    A Bit About Us:

    Ozge McAree

    With a rich background in sales, management, and leadership training, I bring a wealth of insights from my global travels. My passion for research, particularly in skincare and well-being, fuels my commitment to sharing the best innovations out there. I also host "The CEO Club," available in English and Turkish on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, reflecting my dedication to cross-cultural knowledge sharing. Inspired by Michelangelo's "Ancora Imparo" ("I am still learning"), I believe in the power of lifelong growth and connection. Through my travels, I’ve realized that exceptional service comes from the individuals who create memorable experiences, and I love sharing reliable reviews and captivating stories.

    Steve McAree

    I’ve enjoyed a diverse career in Senior Management roles across various countries. I believe people are the heart of any company, and my experience has taught me how to foster environments where individuals excel. Storytelling is one of my greatest joys, enhanced by my Scottish accent and sense of humor. Whether sharing engaging narratives or detailed reviews of hotels and restaurants, I aim to capture the nuances that separate the good from the exceptional. My passion for football also adds vibrancy to my critiques, creating depth in my storytelling. As an avid traveler, I love exploring new cultures and cuisines, striving to offer trustworthy reviews and engaging stories along the way.
