We know her as the youngest sister of the Weasley clan and Harry Potter’s true love, but Bonnie Wright has come a

long way since her days as Ginny. Having recently relocated to the Big Apple, the 24-year-old has thrown herself into writing and directing and is currently working behind the camera on her first feature film.

SM: What music do you listen to when you travel?BW: I like a mixture: from Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to electronic and dance. I listen to a lot of instrumental music when I’m writing. I find writing while listening to music can be hard

– just trying to differentiate the voices when you write from the voices of the lyrics.

MARRAKECH, MOROCCO

My hands are stained with the scent of eucalyptus and black cumin. “Do you know what this is?” says the medicine man, who sits cross-legged at his stall, buried

in the madness of Djema el-Fna square. “Menthe. This is menthe. It is for the brain, the heart and the soul.” He drops one tiny crystal into a copper pan of boiling water and beckons for me to breathe in. After a single inhalation, it shoots up my nose, down the back of my throat and my eyelids snap wide open. “I’ll take ten grams,” I say, after my eyes have stopped watering. The man laughs and scoops some of the crystals into a little black pouch which he ties up with string. “Marhaba!” he cries out. “Big welcome!”

I pull myself up from a miniature chair, clutching my precious bag of treasure. I may have paid far too much for its contents, but I don’t really mind. If my time in Marrakech has taught me anything, it is that sometimes you just have to do what feels right. And in this case, it felt right to hand over an outlandish amount of money for something I will probably never use, just to see this stranger’s face break into a luminous smile. I ask for directions and he tells me to turn left and then right, which sees me head off the wrong way. Forty minutes and four sets of directions later, and I end up in the same place I started. The medicine man laughs warmly. I buy a stick of roasted sweetcorn and simply begin my journey again.

Marrakech is a city steeped in tradition. Certain things define this space, and are rooted to its very personality – the sound of steaming mint tea poured from a great height, with glasses clattering against a silver tray. The chugging of motorbike engines traversing the streets. That haunting call to prayer, which rumbles through the air five times a day. The gentle birdsong flitting between the shouts of market traders, as donkeys clop through the winding roads and street food steams and sizzles. And as the sun starts to set it throws a smoky light onto the nearby Atlas Mountains, as the cityscape transforms into a dusky assortment of blushing pink cubes.

Some things seem destined to endure in Marrakech, and both locals and first-time visitors rejoice in the city’s oldest traditions. Take the souk, for example. It is as much a challenge as a delight to navigate its heady tangle of shops. You could turn to your left to see a small room filled from floor to ceiling with glinting brass lanterns. Then you might catch a glimpse of a pile of emerald pottery tilting sideways in a leaning stack. Cats slink around the feet of traders snoozing on fading leather ottomans and whole dried crocodile skins are pinned up against the wall. Then look ahead and spot a gaggle of schoolchildren chasing one another on their way out of gates just beyond a wooden

MANFREDS & VIN COPENHAGEN

manfreds.dk

Founded by Christian F. Puglisi, who owns a further four restaurants in the city. Picture a simple, rustic setting with biodynamic wine and incredibly tasty veg. The parsley tarragon salad picked fresh from the forest is a must-try.

THE STORE KITCHEN AT SOHO HOUSE BERLIN

sohohouseberlin.com

Our wonderful friends Tommy Tannock and Johnny Collins run this place, and if you want a salad with complex flavours and seasonal ingredients then this is the place to go.

THE SMILE NEW YORK 

thesmilenyc.com Set in a cosy townhouse in downtown Manhattan, this joint is firmly rooted in the community. It’s packed full of locals on any given day and with good reason – the Mediterranean menu is to die for.

FLAX & KALE BARCELONA

teresacarles.com This eatery is homely and drenched in natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The grilled watermelon with goat’s cheese makes for a crunchy yet creamy starter. If it’s a sunny day (which it often is in Barcelona) then ask for a seat on the roof terrace and enjoy your meal al fresco.

KAMALAYA KO SAMUI

kamalaya.com

A wellness destination hotel and spa that serves the most wonderful-to-wake-up-to breakfasts – think eggs, buckwheat pancakes, fresh papaya and wheatgrass shots. For lunch try the deliciously spiced coconut curries with fresh local seafood.

Ask many of the world’s best chefs what they do for a living, and they may well tell you they are artists. The notion of

food as an art form isn’t a new one, but the idea usually conjures up images of sumptuous high-end restaurant dishes – which while undoubtedly delicious, are almost impossible for the average person to make at home.

However we think cooking your own nourishing food is also an art, no matter how talented you are in the kitchen. We’re simply home-cooks with a passion for healthy eating, real ingredients and easy, accessible meals; there are no fancy knife skills here.

We try to promote using up leftovers and adapting recipes to use seasonal produce and suit individual tastes. We encourage experimentation – adding more or less of ingredients to enhance your favourite flavours and avoid waste will mean you can make the same recipe again. And each time it will be a new creation.

You don’t need to buy tonnes of obscure ingredients in order to make a creative meal; in fact we’re never more inventive than when we are working with what we’ve got. A final flourish to any dish can make it look a bit fancier if you want to impress – all it takes is a scattering of seeds, fresh herbs, a dollop of pesto or some parmesan shavings.

With our first book, The Art Of Eating Well, we began to explore how to create tasty, healthy and hassle-free meals every day. With our recently launched second book Good + Simple we demonstrate just how easy it is to embrace food as an uncomplicated, achievable art that everyone can enjoy.

Like all art, food adds an enriching dimension to our lives and can also be intensely personal. Our cooking reflects and is greatly inspired by our history and memories. Each dish we create is rooted in a tangible life experience – whether it’s our bangers and mash with onion gravy, which is an old childhood favourite, or our fish amok curry, which we were taught by a chef in Cambodia.

Travelling has always been a huge inspiration to us, and our recipes often include an eclectic mix of world flavours. There’s a strong Filipino influence from our mum – we’ve inherited her love of tangy, slightly sour Asian flavours like lime, ginger and tamarind. We lived in Germany for a few years as children, so sauerkraut and other probiotic, fermented foods are also firm favourites. As well as experiencing new cultures, ingredients and flavours, one of the best things about travelling is discovering new restaurants, cafés and bars, which share our philosophy and passion for healthy, wholesome food. Here are some of our favourite spots for mouth-watering food from across the globe.

Bonnie WRIGHT

WHAT’S IN YOUR SUITCASE?

e know her as the youngest sister of the Weasley clan and Harry Potter’s true love, but Bonnie Wright has come a

long way since her days as Ginny. Having recently relocated to the Big Apple, the 24-year-old has thrown herself into writing and directing and is currently working behind the camera on her first feature film.

SUITCASE MAGAZINE: What’s in your suitcase? GHT: Headphones and something to write in.

Aesop ginger flight therapy or resurrection hand cream, a Muji eye mask, James Perse leisure clothes and Miu Miu or Prada

What music do you listen to when you travel? I like a mixture: from Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan to

electronic and dance. I listen to a lot of instrumental music when I’m writing. I find writing while listening to music can be hard

fferentiate the voices when you write from the voices of the lyrics.

SM: What are your favourite fashion eras?BW: I quite like the 60s and 70s. The flamboyant colours and shapes. I love accentuating those shapes – you know, small waist and big trousers. The femininity of it.

SM: What country are you dying to visit?BW: I’ve never been to Brazil and I’d love to go. I used to surf a lot as a kid (my mum’s family is from Australia) so I’d love to go surfing in Costa Rica.

SM: What have been the most memorable locations that you’ve gone to since you started acting?BW: I made this film [After the Dark] four years ago in Indonesia. We got to shoot in locations that were insane. We were filming on the grounds of Buddhist temples, at the base of Mount Bromo and islands all around Jakarta. It was just crazy. It was like the gap year I never had.

SM: You recently moved to New York, how have you found it so far?BW: I really love it here. I respond to hectic, busy cities.

SM: What are your favourite places that you’ve discovered in New York? BW: I love Miss Lily’s and all the independent Japanese restaurants in the East Village. I like Minetta Tavern in the West Village. I also find, weirdly, that I can be more healthy here than I am in London. During the day I love places like Juice Press and Sweetgreen.

SM: What do you like most about the city?BW: I love how condensed it is. I love walking here, I pretty much walk everywhere. Every block has something of interest. There are hundreds of characters from all different worlds in every part of New York. So for me, observing people and life is what I do all day every day, and it’s why I like making films – because it’s retelling those moments or creating stories out of them.

SM: In another life, if you weren’t acting, writing and directing, what would you do?BW: I really like cooking and food, so I’d either be a chef or have my own restaurant. Or if I were to come back with a whole new skill set, I’d want to come back as a dancer.

9AM Have a light breakfast of fresh fruit al fresco at The Watercourt restaurant.

10AM Go for a leisurely stroll along the 3km-long stretch of sand at Bangtao Beach. Banyan Tree Phuket has a special area for guests where loungers, cold water and towels are on offer.

1.00PM Venture into town for lunch at The Blue Elephant. The building itself is beautiful. Built in 1903, China Rapha House was the first Sino-Portuguese mansion on the island, and is well worth a visit. The menu changes daily but includes famous local specialties including spicy mango salad, stir-fried chicken and steamed coconut pudding. 2.30PM Wat Chalong is the largest and most revered of all 29 temples in Phuket, housing a fragment of a bone of the Buddha. The founders of the temple were two monks who helped citizens in the nearby area with their knowledge of medicine during the

Chinese rebellion in the 19th century. Be sure to remove your shoes before you step inside.

5.30PM On returning to Banyan Tree Phuket, unwind with a signature essential oil massage in the open-air pavilion by your private pool.

8PM End your day with dinner at Saffron, Banyan Tree’s signature restaurant. They focus on authentic Thai cuisine using the freshest ingredients – don’t forget to order their green papaya salad. 10PM Finish your night at Banyan Tree’s Lobby Bar, which offers a delicious range of cocktails and champagnes. Located on a terrace deck, classic wooden tones and modern furniture create an elegant after-dinner ambience that will compliment your cigar, coffee or cognac nicely.

TULUM MEXICO

A LONG STORY SHORT Mingle with supermodels, DJs and other glamorous internationalists on the sands of this hippie-luxe coastline.

THE PERFECT STAY Head to this eco-haven any time except July-September (hurricane season). Stay at Be Tulum, where you can take tree-top yoga classes and eat fish tacos and ceviche at the Beach Club. Alternatively, The Beach offers tastings of the finest sipping tequila.

WHAT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT Go bobbing in the lagoon at Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO world heritage site, snorkel in Sac Actun Cenote, dance the night away on the sand at Papaya Playa, eat an organic dinner cooked with no electricity at Hartwood Restaurant and then sip mezcal in the jungle bar Gitano.

TRANCOSO BRAZIL

A LONG STORY SHORT This is a little world of rustic luxury hidden away in a jungle by the sea. It is visited by beautiful Brazilians, the Italian fashion crowd and even Anna Wintour herself. Trancoso is breathtaking all-year round, but for people-watching and parties, go in high-season, from December until March.

THE PERFECT STAY Choose either a woodland bungalow at Etnia Pousada and Boutique or a room at Uxua Casa Hotel, a brightly coloured eco-resort.

WHAT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT During the day, go for romantic horse rides along the sand. At night everyone gathers in the twinkling centre of town, The Quadrado. If that’s not enough, then take a day trip to Espelho beach and have lunch at Slyvinha’s, a family-run restaurant with no menu.

THE BASQUE COUNTRY SPAIN

A LONG STORY SHORT The Basque Country of northern Spain is a place of architectural innovation, misty green hills, magnificent vineyards and legendary pintxos bars.

THE PERFECT STAY San Sebastián is famous for its food but the annual film festival in September brings a different aspect of culture to light. Stay at Astoria7, which has 102 rooms dedicated to stars of the silver screen.

WHAT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT Fly into Bilbao Airport and lose yourself in the Guggenheim Museum’s captivating fusion of curved metallic forms. Pick up a car and drive via Gaztelugatxe, and once in San Sebastían, dine at Arzak. Then work it all off by hiking up Mont Urgell the next day. Don’t be alarmed by the amount of paper on the floors of the pintxos bars. It’s good manners to throw your napkin down in appreciation of the chef.

CORNWALL ENGLAND

A LONG STORY SHORT With latticed coastal towns linked by rolling farmlands and cliffs framing the wide sea, Cornwall is the epitome of the English countryside dream.

THE PERFECT STAY The Scarlet is an adults-only retreat with a lavish spa. Travel up to St Moritz Hotel in Trebetherick and play peekaboo between the pastel-coloured beach huts. Finally, relax at Fowey Hall by taking in the deep, still waters of Fowey Estuary.

WHAT TO WRITE HOME ABOUT Don’t miss the Cowshed Spa at the St Moritz Hotel, or the Sea Side Restaurant overlooking the pool and Greenaway bay. Even if you’ve never set foot in the water before, ring George’s Surf School, based on Polzeath Beach, and you’ll be up on a wave in no time. The less adventurous can pursue the perfect cream tea at Trevathan Farm in St Endellion. THE SCARLET

Known for pushing boundaries, Nike Running’s new Flash collection is designed for intrepid runners who won’t be deterred by worsening conditions as winter

weather sets in. Inspired by the Northern Lights, the iridescent collection defies darkness and will keep you warm, dry and safe as you battle the elements. For our Boundaries issue, SUITCASE Magazine teamed up with Nike Running to take the collection back to the place that inspired its inception – Iceland. A country as gruelling as it is beautiful, Iceland’s glaciers, fjords and black-sand beaches make it the perfect backdrop to debut the new Nike Flash Pack.

Wearing the Aeroloft Flash running vest, we kept warm as we took on the Black Beach of Myrdalshreppur – no mean feat when you consider the near-Arctic conditions. Next we headed to the breathtaking Skógafoss waterfall, stopping off on eerily empty roads along the way, and battled the snow and ice in the Shield Flash Max running jacket and LunarGlide 7 Flash trainers, which are one of a range of Flash running trainers available. With temperatures dropping well below zero in the winter, Iceland’s relentless winds and otherworldly landscapes mean it is no place for the faint of heart. Instead it’s a place for those who seek adventure. A place for those who take risks. In Nike’s Flash Pack you’ll be able to do just that.
