Episode 1 - Christmas with a difference

Christmas is a great time to travel – and you may have visited many classic seasonal destinations such as Lapland, New York or Europe’s enchanting markets. But there are other brilliant seasonal experiences just waiting to be discovered. From a rain-soaked London, Lucy and James explore four alternative Christmas destinations. Ever thought of celebrating Ledet in Ethiopia? Or lighting a farolito in Santa Fe? Find out how. Our hosts also catch up with cartographer and stargazer James Macdonald about watching the night sky.

Episode 2 - Spring before Summer

Sometimes our dream destinations can be tricky to explore in the height of summer – whether that’s down to high temperatures, overcrowding or other factors. Lucy and James discover four bucket-list worthy places ideal for a spring, rather than summer, vacation. James also talks with New York-based travel writer and DK marketeer Lauren Paley about her solo adventure to Petra.


Episode 3 - Alternatives to beach breaks

While there’s always a place in our hearts for a fly and flop, more and more of us are looking for summertime outdoor adventures – whether that be hiking, cycling or generally getting back to nature. From horse-riding in Corsica to hiking the Salkantay Trail in Peru , here are four of our favourite summer trips. Lucy and James also catch up with travel editor Elspeth Beidas about her safari adventures.

Episode 4. Different fall foliage

When we think of fall foliage, we automatically think about New England and its glorious autumnal finery. But have you ever considered watching the season change in Hawaii? Or Burgundy?
