Luxembourg A gem that redefines the essence and rich rewards of slow travel, history, walks, forests, and memories that continue to illuminate my life. Truly unforgettable. Photography: Stefano Zaccaria.
Hong Kong Snaps you out of complacency and rewards every one of your senses in countless, surprising, and unforgettable ways. Photography: Vichie81.
Amsterdam A soft solo landing is almost certainly guaranteed in this captivating city that feels like she has just been waiting for you to show up. Art, music, theatre, bike-riding, canal cruises, street food vans (the herring and frites!) … the list is endless. Photography: Nataraj.

Naples, Italy For the solo traveller who likes their culture raw, their pizza divine, and their chaos charming. Naples isn’t polished – it’s alive, loud, and unapologetically itself, which makes it perfect if you’re tired of travel that plays it safe. Photography: Herraez.
Oaxaca, Mexico … because sipping mezcal at sunset is technically a cultural activity. This spirited southern Mexican gem serves up street food, colour, and tradition in equal measure. Photography: Alan.
Ljubljana, Slovenia For when you want all the European fairytale feels, minus the crowds and clichés. Slovenia’s pint-sized capital is green, easy to explore alone, and might just make you believe in love at first city. Photography: Xbrchx.
