Shelley Rubenstein

Born and bred in Manchester, journalist, broadcaster, producer and poker player, Shelley Rubenstein, realised her love affair with London the day after she left school and has lived there ever since. Whether looking for the best poker action in whatever country she happens to be in, or seeking out the world’s most innovative chefs, artists and rabble rousers, Shelley’s favourite places fundamentally come down to the warmth and generosity of the local people she’s fortunate enough to meet on her travels. Her dream destinations are anywhere and everywhere she’s not been before. Her curiosity remains ever piqued and primed for adventure in her perennial exploration of every crevice on this wonderful planet.
