My most frequent travel companions are my family. Every one of us considers ourselves to be an "outdoors person," but, like snobby sommeliers, our tastes vary quite a bit. Take our recent trip to Africa, for example, where we spent a lot of time outside.If you ask my father what his favourite outdoor moment was, he will likely tell you about our boma dinner in Botswana, where groups of giraffes and elephants joined us for a toast under the moonlight, drinking from the waterhole next…

Geography has always influenced who we are. Everything from the ground below our feet to the wind rustling through our trees, and the oceans that surround us shape how we live, create culture, and remember our pasts. Yet in our everyday routines, it's easy to forget just how profound and inspiring the world's landscapes really are.This is what makes globetrotting vital: it reminds us just how diverse and extraordinary the world is by giving us new perspectives and places to explore.…

Geographically, Israel is a tiny country, only about 18 percent the size of New York state. But despite its size, you can do a lot here: ski on Mount Hermon, surf on the Mediterranean, hit the clubs of Tel Aviv, or immerse yourself in the spiritual traditions of Jerusalem. And it's all within a few hours’ drive. And then there’s the desert, where the night sky is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Noctourism is one of the hottest trends these days. It’s all about travel experiences…

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.
