About

Lewis Payton_LLI

Lewis Likes It is about living life well. Today. If I like it, I’ll shoot it, write about it and share it with with you. My aim is to bring you the best and most engaging insights I can, a quick taste of something beautiful, thought provoking or fun. All with the aim of inspiring you to get away from your computer for a while and have similar experiences of your own!

While there’s features on the site that involve spending some dough, Lewis Likes It generally eschews solely materialistic pursuits for a more balanced life, where simple pleasures and things of beauty include more than just the latest things we buy.

Lewis Likes It has eight main sections -

Eat! Drink! Merry! - Celebrates the pleasures of food and wine. Whether it’s at home, out and about, in a group, or dining alone, Eat! Drink! Merry! showcases the best restaurants, bars, recipes and dining concepts from around the world, with a focus on communal dining experiences.

Simple Pleasures – So many of the best things in life are free, or cost next to nothing. Simple Pleasures highlights the more affordable great stuff out there, whether it’s the best cups of coffee or the most beautiful beaches. Look here for inspiration on living well without losing your shirt.

Things Of Beauty – An office chair that doubles as a work of art, a candid moment caught on camera, a stunning face or body, an act of kindness. Beauty, in all forms, is all around us. Things Of Beauty features all things that make me swoon.

Road Best Traveled – When I travel, I speak with locals, connect with people who have shared interests, and seek to experience the most fulfilling journey possible. While I like a nice hotel, it’s what’s outside my room that really counts. I want to hit the streets, find those places no one likes to share because they’re just that good. And then share them with you!

Visionaries & Trailblazers – Nothing inspires me more than an individual who chooses to look beyond what is known or accepted and instead, creates a new path, a new way of thinking or seeing or experiencing the world. These people are rarely well known outside of their field and their inspiring lives deserve to be celebrated.

Into The Arts – As a photographer, writer and filmmaker, I believe art, culture, literature, film and music are the color and light of our world, vital to our very existence. Into The Arts showcases the very best you might not have heard of yet.

Getting It Om – While I’m not a religious person, I lead a spiritual life and have deep respect for the core of most faith. Getting It Om highlights the spiritual people, practices and events existing in our world today. It’s a place to come for inspiration, peace and understanding.

LOVE/LA – I figure this much maligned city of mine has had enough of a bad rap. It’s time to celebrate Los Angeles for what it is – a fascinating, deceptively complex, vast sprawl of a blank canvas just waiting for you to put your imprint on it. I’ve come to love LA and I want to share some of the best of it here.
