Road Trips

We love a road trip! Few things beat the freedom of the open road and the sense of possibility and exploration. It’s a great way to travel slow, to travel with kids, with friends or all by yourself.

But a good road trip does take some planning.

Luckily, we have what you need.

Responsible Travel

The travel industry is one of the biggest in the world. The choices we make, the people we visit, the products we buy, all help shape the world. Nowhere is perfect. No-one person is, either.

But that shouldn’t stop us from trying. Everything on this site aims to help you travel more and travel better.

Getting the Right Gear

With the right gear, anything is possible. Hunting for the Northern Lights at minus 40 in the Arctic Circle becomes a joy. Cocktails in Miami, easy peasy. With the wrong gear, everything becomes harder. Despite this being a luxury travel blog, I’m not a big believer in shopping for shopping’s sake, nor spending just for the sake of it. What I do know is that the right gear makes almost everything alright
