Best Memory Foam Travel Pillows

Billy A. is the co-creator of Travel Gentlemen and the voice behind many of our travel guides and city recommendations. Originally from Manila and now based in Valencia, Billy focuses on local food spots, stylish bars, neighbourhood walk-throughs, and places that feel authentic rather than tourist-heavy. He curates the men’s travel accessories featured across Travel Gentlemen, blending design sense with practical travel habits built up over two decades in London. Billy’s guides highlight where to eat, where to stay, and how to discover the best parts of a city with ease and confidence. His favourite city to travel to is New York, iconic while being edgy and creative in the right neighbourhoods. For beaches, nothing beats Palawan with its turquoise water, fine white sand, and breathtaking island scenery. Billy’s favourite food is Vietnamese — fresh, flavourful, and the perfect balance of herbs, spice, and comfort, especially a spring roll wrapped in fresh lettuce and dipped in nuoc cham. His go-to drink is a Brockmans Gin and Tonic, smooth and berry infused, and always the first thing he orders when exploring a new bar, if it’s available at all as it’s still somewhat undiscovered. Billy’s best travel tip is simple: stay, eat, and enjoy what the locals do, as it’s the easiest way to understand any city. His travel style tip is to pack neutral basics you can mix and match, and for autumn or winter city trips he swears by wearing all black.
