Strolling along the beaches of St Vincent & the Grenadines
Take your pick of endless white sand beaches in St Vincent and the Grenadines, one of the locations used in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. Work and the stresses of everyday life become a distant memory here thanks to the laid-back atmosphere and slow pace of life.

Bartering your way around Grand Bazaar, Istanbul
The Turkish city of Istanbul where East so famously meets West is also home to numerous historical and cultural gems. The Grand Bazaar is one such; a labyrinthine indoor market wonderfully impossible to navigate your way around.

Exploring temples in Luang Prabang, Laos

Cycling the trendy streets in Copenhagen, Denmark
A world leader in design, Copenhagen has a lot to live up to. Its skyline punctuated with elegant spires, waterside location, and outdoor spaces certainly don't disappoint. Explore and get caught up in the hip Danish capital as the locals do; by bike.

Flying over the Skeleton Coast, Namibia
The spellbinding magic of Namibia's Skeleton Coast is perhaps best appreciated from the air. The scenes are incredibly remote, wild, and dramatic.

Discovering ancient history along the Nile, Egypt
One of the most relaxing ways to explore Egypt and the historical sites along the Nile is most likely by boat. Lose all sense of time amongst the 1920's interiors whilst floating past relics from the world's longest-lived empire.
