New York City has always been a town of firsts, and for centuries, Manhattan has been at the center of invention, creativity, and all-around American progress. The nation’s first president was inaugurated here and in 1789, it became the first American capital. In the late 1800s, it was the first city where the then-advanced technique of cable-bundling was used to build a suspension bridge. Famously known for countless advances in civic life, urban planning, arts, and dining, the exciting progress continues at a steady pace today.
I’ve always loved travel in Portugal, whether it was the tumbledown charm and boozy visits to the wineries of Porto, drinks at viewpoints and guzzlingpasteis de natain Lisbon, or striding out in awe over the bubbling volcanic landscape of the Azores. However, I’d never had much fascination with the Algarve: I assumed the region would be all crowded beaches, modern buildings, and overdeveloped resorts. Consequently, when I finally visited the region, its natural beauty, delicious cuisine, and fabulous array of outdoor activities took me completely by surprise.

I spent five days in Cornwall with my partner, balancing Cornish pasties, ice creams, seafood, and cider with refreshing swims in the Atlantic and coastal walks featuring spectacular views. Our trip took place in August, making Cornwall bustling with fellow tourists, with prices higher than average due to peak season. We managed to save on accommodation and transport by borrowing my dad’s car and staying in my parents’ holiday lodge free of charge (excluding petrol expenses).
It’s been 20 years since someone first tried to overtakeGore-Tex’s half-century reign as the most popular waterproof fabric. That someone waseVent, and although the fabric maker is still used by a limited number of textiles, it’s largely regarded as a less-reliable alternative. When it comes to waterproof-but-breathable outerwear, Gore-Tex has remained the industry eponym.
‘The white lions don’t exist,’ my safari guide says with a smile and twinkle in his eye, ‘they are just myths.’
What’s it like to travel as someone who doesn’t drink alcohol? For one thing, it can mean feeling like you’ve missed out on a whole side to a destination. No bar crawls, no searching out the local speakeasy, no making friends with locals and other travelers at some underground nightclub.

The Centennial State is known for its offbeat offerings, and at 104,185 square miles, there’s lots of ground to cover. Luckily, we’ve done the legwork.

Creamy green curry, fragrantđôm kàhcoconut soup, sizzlingpàt tai, and spicy papaya salad – whatever you prefer, Thai cuisine offers a feast for the stomach and senses. Most Thai dishes incorporate a mélange of vegetables, herbs, aromatics, and spices, along with meat, egg, fish sauce, and oyster sauce.
