There is something special about traveling along a river. Unlike a road trip, where the scenery changes with every turn, a river journey unfolds at a gentler pace. Towns, forests, farmland, and historic waterfronts gradually appear along the banks, offering a different perspective on the American landscape. A week aboard a Mississippi Riverboat offers the opportunity to experience this slower style of travel while exploring one of the … [Read more...]

Planning a Road Trip Through New Zealand’s South Island Wine Country
There's a certain kind of magic to driving through New Zealand's South Island with nothing but a rental car, a rough itinerary and an appetite for good wine.

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...]
Why Communal Ranch Bukidnon Should Be on Your Northern Mindanao Road Trip
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 … [Read more...]
