The brutal reality check that hits every backpacker flying from SE Asia into Australia. The barman at the first pub I walked into after dropping my bag slid a schooner across the bar and said nine dollars. I handed over a tenner and stood there waiting for change that wasn't coming. He'd already moved on. I picked up the glass and did the maths in my head the way you do when you already know the answer isn't good. Here's what Southeast … [Read more...]

The Train Journeys Worth Taking Even If Flying Is Faster

While speed certainly has its advantages, it isn't always the best measure of a memorable trip. Some of the world's most rewarding travel experiences happen at a slower pace, where the journey itself becomes as meaningful as the destination waiting at the … [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.

A Rainy Arrival in New York: My First Ride From Runway to City Streets
The first impression of John F. Kennedy International Airport was not the airport itself, but the rain. That steady New York rain doesn’t try to impress you at first. It was just a grey curtain hanging in the air that was soft but persistent, as if the city were quietly testing how you would react to it. You feel everything slightly unreal after a long flight.
