Before anything else, a disclaimer. Ukraine is at war. As of mid-2026 Russia is still hitting Kyiv with missiles and drones, including some of the deadliest strikes on the city since the full-scale invasion began. This is not a normal city break, and nothing below is a nudge to pretend otherwise. Most governments, including the United States and the United Kingdom, currently advise their citizens not to travel to Ukraine at all. Please read … [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

It does. If anything, the … [Read more...]

If you plan to follow … [Read more...]

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...]
