The butler is traditionally defined as “the chief male servant of a household”, but I disagree. This is a regal profession and one that I am so grateful to experience. One, a diminutive Indian woman, another a towering Jamaican, one offered to carry me into the ocean from my lounge (I declined), one went shopping every day and left a wrapped gift on my bed, one sat in my villa kitchen for 12 hours awaiting orders (much to my dismay), and one man in Africa was so psychic he offered me daily wisdom.

They were all shapes and sizes, ages and races. In the past year I have had the privilege of being taken care of by approximately six butlers throughout my journeys.
