One of the best things about camping in California is that every season creates a different kind of outdoor experience. Spring works well for canyons and desert blooms. Summer is better suited for lakes and mountain escapes. Fall is one of the best times to explore desert landscapes and open skies. Instead of choosing only the most popular destination, travelers can plan around the season. This makes weekend camping feel more natural, more … [Read more...]

Some of my most vivid memories from numerous trips to Mexico have been on arrival. The air is warm, the pace shifts, and the promise of a great trip is right there at the arrivals gate; it is that feeling of anticipation that really sticks with you. And this is especially so when arriving during the winter … [Read more...]
Discover Amsterdam from the Water
Amsterdam is easy to love on foot, but the canals show how the city really works. From the water you notice details you miss on the streets, like gabled houses leaning toward the canal, bikes stacked on bridges, and quiet lanes that open into wide waterways. If you are building a tight itinerary, a one hour cruise is a simple way to get oriented. The key is choosing a tour that feels calm and close to the water. Why an open electric boat … [Read more...]

A California coast road trip: Big Sur, redwoods, and slow evenings
The Pacific Coast Highway is one of those drives that somehow lives up to its reputation. I had seen a thousand photos before I went, and I still spent the whole trip with my jaw somewhere near the steering wheel. Last spring I drove a stretch of the California coast over a relaxed week, from Monterey down through Big Sur and on toward Santa Barbara, and it reset my definition of a good road trip. One honest note before the highlights. A … [Read more...]
A football fan’s road trip through England: stadiums, cities, and matchday magic
I have visited a lot of famous places that left me cold, and a few ordinary ones that gave me goosebumps. An English football ground on matchday belongs firmly in the second group. Last autumn I finally did the trip I had been promising myself for years: a loose loop around England to see four of its great stadiums, soak up the cities around them, and work out whether the atmosphere really lives up to the hype. It does. If anything, the … [Read more...]
A great British sporting summer: Wimbledon, Lord’s, and The Open
Britain does not always get the weather right, but it absolutely nails the summer sporting calendar. Over a few golden weeks the country serves up tennis, cricket, and golf at the very highest level, often within a short train ride of one another. Last year I built a trip around exactly that, chasing the great British summer of sport from London out to the coast, and it turned into one of my favourite holidays in years. If you plan to follow … [Read more...]
A New Hampshire summer road trip: mountains, lakes, and the quiet charm of the Granite State
Some states shout for your attention. New Hampshire is not one of them, and that is exactly why I keep going back. Wedged between the crowds of Vermont's ski towns and the tourist machinery of coastal Maine, the Granite State just gets on with being quietly spectacular, and summer is when it does its best work. Last July I gave myself a loose week to drive a loop from the seacoast up into the White Mountains and back down through the lakes. I … [Read more...]
Chasing the horses: a road trip around Britain’s great racecourses
I did not grow up around horse racing, so I arrived at my first British race meeting expecting a stuffy afternoon of tweed and binoculars. What I found instead was one of the best days out this country offers: part sport, part social occasion, part excuse to wear a silly hat. Last summer I turned it into a proper trip, driving between four of Britain's most famous racecourses over ten days, and I came away a genuine convert. A quick word for … [Read more...]
