New & Noteworthy
One of the most rewarding gifts of travel is how it reveals the subtle beauty and wonder that we often take for granted in our most ordinary moments. For example, consider having dinner with old, familiar friends whom you've known for years. Back home, it is a routine experience you barely think about, but share that same meal in a far-off country, and you suddenly notice how lucky you are to have these people in your life. Through the simple act of travelling together, an ordinary…
There are few travel experiences quite like a safari, which allows you to take a break from everyday busyness. You’re up before dawn each day and the world surrounding you is quiet. You spend your evenings under the stars with no light pollution, a campfire, and stories as your entertainment. Breakfast in the bush or a sundowner next to a gorge are the sorts of special touches that elevate the experience. There’s also no such thing as a cookie cutter wildlife experience on…
Charlotte’s Web author and essayist E. B. White once wrote “Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.” This sums it all up, doesn’t it. There’s a reason you’re so motivated to get your driver’s license as a teenager. It’s not just your keys to a car, but your keys to the whole world. Nothing epitomizes freedom quite like the open road. While things have changed since Henry Ford first introduced the Model T, the appeal of a road trip hasn’t, with the freedom to…

One of the great pleasures of travel is touring in the company of a private guide. Yes, it’s more expensive, but it comes with unparalleled value that is hard to beat. My own recent travels from Paris to the Loire Valley in France are proof of this. Touring with a private guide enriched my travel experience by providing deeper history and insights into the landmarks I explored, offered more personalized attention, and even saved me time and energy. In Paris, I took a…

Sydney Harbour is one of those places that never loses its shine, no matter how many times you visit. Even after living in Sydney for six years, every visit here reinvigorates my love for it. Even the everyday sight of a Sydney ferry gliding between the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge becomes a quiet highlight each time I’m back. Today though is all about enjoying this Australian icon in a more boutique setting. Today, we’re bypassing Circular Quay, the hub for most…

Over the past several years, the world of travel has experienced a sea change: people are exploring the world on their own. Eager to make travel plans without having to coordinate with others, and empowered by the world’s increased connectivity and security, more travellers are becoming solo travellers. And of these many solo travellers, women are leading the way. The stats are staggering. Solo travel is projected to be a $1 trillion industry by 2030, so the pend-up demand is…

Escape to an oasis within one of North Africa’s most iconic cities. Voted as the best hotel in the world by Condé Nast Traveler, La Mamounia in Marrakech offers true opulence in every element of its 5-star service and design. The hotel is an architectural wonder, with 135 rooms, 71 suites, and 3 riads (traditional Moroccan palaces), which all provide exquisite luxury and a shockingly quiet environment for such a central location. Large mashrabiya windows flood each room with…

While most of us are enjoying the latter half of this hot, sunny summer, savvy globetrotters know this is precisely the time to plan ahead and book their next dream vacation. As much as some of us hate to admit, winter is just around the corner, and those sunny getaways will only get more tempting to snowbirds and sun-seekers alike. Luckily, there's an abundance of idyllic islands inviting you to spend the cold winter days abroad, soaking up the sun and leaving your winter coat…

What do the experts say?
You should try a Zen meditation session. Imagine slipping into a silk kimono for the day—carefully tied by an expert dresser, every fold precise, every colour chosen to suit the season. It’s a ritual that feels as personal as it is timeless.
What do I love about Japan? In a word - EVERYTHING. The incredible contrast that Japan offers - new/innovative vs old/traditional, the warm and welcoming people, the incredible rich culture, the culinary wonders awaiting around every corner, the cleanliness, efficiency and safety. It's one of the best places to visit in Asia in my opinion.
Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is a local favourite with very inexpensive drinks. It's also a great place to try the local delicacy, BBQ frog.
I love how laidback and relaxed Laos is compared to other countries in Southeast Asia. It's like the best of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand all rolled into one, and then sent back in time 20 to 30 years.
The Festes Majors are summer festivals held in the villages of Andorra. Each festival is unique to the village, with its own distinct style.
