15 routes
Kyoto in November
Maple trees on fire, temples half-empty in the morning, and the kind of quiet you forget exists. November is when Kyoto stops performing and just breathes.
Lisbon in Spring
Jacaranda trees in bloom, pasteis de nata still warm at 8am, and fado drifting out of someone's open window. Lisbon in April is one of those places you don't want to leave.
Tbilisi Weekend
Old wooden balconies leaning into the street, sulfur baths in the basement of a 17th century building, and supras where strangers pour you wine until you're family. Tbilisi is wierd in the best way.
Marrakech in October
Spices, snake charmers, the call to prayer at dusk over the rooftops. October is when the brutal summer heat finally lets go, and the medina feels alive again.
Porto Wine District
Terraced vineyards dropping into the Douro river, port wine cellars older than most countries, and grilled octopus by the water. Porto is what Lisbon used to be before everyone found out.
Oaxaca Food Route
Seven kinds of mole, mezcal tasted from the barrel, and tlayudas the size of a hubcap. Oaxaca is where Mexican food stops being a cuisine and becomes a religion.
Chiang Mai in December
Cool evenings, lantern festivals lighting the sky, and the kind of street food that makes you reconsider why you ever cooked at home. December is Chiang Mai at its best.
Dolomites in Autumn
Pink granite peaks at sunset, larch trees going gold, and rifugios serving polenta with venison ragu. The Dolomites in October are quiet, crisp, and at their colour peak.
Zanzibar Beach Guide
Turquoise water that looks photoshopped, Stone Town alleys smelling of cloves, and seafood grilled right off the boat. Zanzibar is what you imagine when you imagine the Indian Ocean.
Medellin Colombia
City of eternal spring, cable cars running up to mountain neighborhoods, and a culture that's reinvented itself in 25 years. Medellin will surprise you in the best way.
Hokkaido Winter
The best powder snow on Earth (probably), onsen baths in the snow, and crab so fresh it's almost cruel. Hokkaido in February is a winter dream wrapped in steam.
Plovdiv Bulgaria
One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe, a Roman amphitheatre still in use, and a creative quarter full of murals and cheap wine bars. Plovdiv is the Balkans before everyone caught on.
Cartagena Colombia
Painted colonial walls in the old city, salsa drifting out of every other bar, and ceviche eaten on the harbor. Cartagena is hot, loud, beautiful, and impossible to forget.
Bruges Belgium
Canals, swans, chocolate shops every twenty meters, and beers that are essentially desserts. Bruges is a fairy tale that's also a beer destination, and somehow that works.
Georgian Wine Route
8000 years of winemaking, qvevri clay vessels buried in the ground, and family supras that last six hours. Georgia is the world's oldest wine country, and Kakheti is its heart.
