Andrew Rowat finds himself in the unenviable position of being able to tell you the best seat on an aircraft just by hearing its flight number. This level of arcane nerdom is only achieved by being on the road more than half the time. He lived in China for almost eight years, and New York for the last five, though his youth was spent in Canuckistan. He has been fortunate enough to find his work in Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, AFAR, Bon Appetit, The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Wallpaper, T (The New York Times Style Magazine), WSJ, Esquire, Dwell, and a host of others.
