Just outside London's borders lies an English county filled with city amenities and laidback village vibes. Essex, which sits in the southeast of England along the North Sea, is the lifelong home of Queenie Porter, managing director of sports drink company Wow Hydrate. The company, which has partnered with high-profile sports names like Manchester United and Tyson Fury, is also headquartered in the county. "You have the best of everything," said Porter in an episode of CNBC's new travel series, Downtime London. When Porter isn't busy juggling running a business with several board roles, she likes to spend her downtime around Essex.
