Considered stays, local detail and destinations worth spending time in.
The outdoors shapes how I travel. Whether it’s a weekend cabin in the Cairngorms or a quiet lodge in British Columbia backcountry, I look for places that connect you to the landscape as much as the space itself. My guides are written to help others plan meaningful trips. I cover everything from peaceful stays to the best walks, swims and wild corners nearby.
Below you’ll find a curated selection of accommodation reviews and destination features, a rotating destination spotlight and information for travel and tourism partners.
Editor’s Picks
Cowal: Forest Pods, Wild Swims & West Coast Highlights
A peaceful forest pod stay at Stratheck Holiday Park made the perfect base for exploring Cowal’s quiet lochs, lush glens and hidden corners of the West Coast. From wild swims and paddleboarding on Loch Eck to magical woodland walks like Puck’s Glen, this long-weekend escape offers a little bit of everything without the crowds.
A Night in Brussels: Jazz, Parks & Hidden Gems
A short trip to Brussels turned into a spontaneous, memorable city break filled with green spaces, hidden corners and lively cultural surprises. I stayed at a stylish, well-located boutique hotel and explored the best of the city on foot, from peaceful parks to a festival I stumbled upon by chance.
DESTINATION SPOTLIGHT
Ballater
Ballater is one of the Cairngorms’ most walkable villages, with miles of waymarked trails, viewpoints and forest paths right from the doorstep. This three-part guide brings together a practical overview of the village, an in-depth stay at the Willow’s Nordic Hut, and a curated selection of the area’s best walking routes.
