Riviera Nayarit, Mexico — For many travelers, Nayarit begins with the Pacific: long stretches of beach, surf towns, jungle-covered mountains and the luxury resorts of Riviera Nayarit. But travel inland — or simply a few streets beyond the shoreline — and another side of the destination emerges. This is a Nayarit shaped by artisans and traditional cooks, Indigenous communities, centuries-old towns, archaeological sites, religious celebrations and recipes passed from one generation to another. As travelers increasingly seek experiences that offer a deeper connection to the places they visit, Nayarit is putting […]

☘️Walking the Ring of Kerry in Ireland☘️ The first character appeared before I had properly begun. It was a horse. We had been walking the Kerry Way for only a day when we encountered it somewhere among the mountains and rain. The path was narrow. The horse was large. We stopped. The horse looked at us. We looked at the horse. He seemed the enthusiastic sort and kept following us. In the end, we took the sensible option and found another way. Welcome to Ireland The horse was an apt […]

The fog rolled in before we’d even left La Cumbre, curling around the bikes stacked against the van like it was trying to talk us out of it. We were 4,650 metres up, the air thin enough that pulling on my gloves left me slightly out of breath, and somewhere below us, 61km of gravel, cliff edge and reputation was waiting. Bolivia’s Yungas Road didn’t earn the nickname “El Camino de la Muerte” for nothing. Carved through the Andes in the 1930s by convict labour during the Chaco War, it […]

Oriental Mindoro in the Philippines does not reveal itself gradually. The descent by propeller plane lays it bare all at once — emerald highlands, coastline, open water — a geography that is as direct as it is striking. First impressions here are rarely wrong. My journey began in Calapan City, the provincial capital, a bustling hub that serves as the perfect introduction to the region’s unique character. Unlike the frenetic energy of Manila, Calapan breathes with a gentler rhythm. The city streets are lined with a mixture of traditional wooden […]

Bukidnon has a way of surprising travelers. One moment, you are passing through long highway stretches and cool mountain towns. Then suddenly, the landscape opens into rolling grasslands, misty ridges, cattle country, and wide scenic views that feel very different from the usual beach-and-waterfall image of Philippine travel. One of the best examples of that highland charm is Communal Ranch in Impasug-ong, Bukidnon. Known for its open grasslands, ranch scenery, mountain views, livestock, and cowboy-country atmosphere, Communal Ranch has become one of the most recognizable scenic stops in Northern Mindanao. […]

Located only about 20 minutes by car from the moderately sized Los Cabos International Airport, San Jose de Cabo is a small town easily seen on foot. Known for its art and historical districts. The size of the town is just right – not to small, not to big. Its feel comes from its sun drenched streets, artisan shops, galleries, restaurants and bars. Fortunately the town is completely separate from the resorts (the Zona Hotelera) which line the nearby beach. Those wanting a sophisticated boutique hotel in the historic district […]

Wildlife trips are rarely just about ticking animals off a list. The surroundings also become part of the memory. A day spent tracking pumas in Patagonia might involve hours watching the wind move across empty grasslands before anything appears. In Alaska, bear viewing usually means standing near fast-moving rivers while bald eagles circle overhead. Tanzania’s wildlife unfolds across vast open plains, while the Galapagos and Borneo place visitors in environments that feel entirely different from one another. Whether it’s a rainforest river, a volcanic island, or a remote mountain landscape, […]
