Secret Trips
VerifiedOnline/Digital
Secret Trips is a collective of writers, photographers, stylists and fashion designers, all of whom grew up criss-crossing the world with dog-eared guide books stuffed into our backpacks. Thirty years on, we’re all still avid travellers, and while we may like things a little more luxurious these days, we still seek out places with the same spirit: under-the-radar destinations, independent hotels, local restaurants. Collectively, our work has taken us all over the globe to all kinds of amazing places where we’ve met all kinds of amazing people. Now, we’re asking them to share with us the places they’ve loved: the secret spots and hidden gems, hideaway hotels and off-the-beaten-track beaches. Places that they love, and we love, and we think you’ll love too. Source

Search ArticlesA Local Guide to Girona, Spain
Locals will tell you that Girona has changed in the last few years. That it’s become more international of late. A little too bougie, perhaps. But compared to its headline-hogging big brother Barcelona down the road, it remains a relatively undiscovered delight.

Read the world: Another Japan by Irwin Wong

Spotlight on: La Hacienda, a tribute to Mexico in Jalisco
It’s been almost a decade since construction began on La Hacienda, a sprawling red-brick complex from Mexican tequila giant Clase Azul. But the wait has been worthwhile. Officially opened in May 2026, La Hacienda is described by Clase Azul founder and CEO Arturo Lomelí as a ‘tribute’ to Mexico’s past, present and future. “La Hacienda reflects our deep gratitude to the land and the people who make our work possible,” he commented.
Six of the best: independent bookshops in East London
London has always been a literary hub, but in East London, a treasure trove of independent bookshops offer great ranges of books you won’t find anywhere else in the city.

This is the very definition of small but mighty.
Global galleries: the National Geographic Museum of Exploration
Leo and Kate may be missing, but this is the prow of the Titanic, displayed at the recently opened National Geographic Museum of Exploration in Washington. It’s actually a replica, and not to scale, but it looks the part and is here to represent one of the greatest finds in the history of exploration. The wreck was discovered by Dr Robert Ballard in 1985, and later film director James Cameron dove down to it in preparation for making his classic movie.
Spotlight on: Berluti’s motorcycle-inspired staples
One of the great things about an American road trip is not the brilliant motels or excellent food, but the space. Head away from the cities and into nature, and you’ll soon find yourself surrounded by open land, big skies and distant horizons. It’s a far cry from the glass skyscrapers and concrete sprawl of both coasts’ great cities, and is what keeps pulling motorists back. Hit the American road on a motorcycle and things get even more spectacular.
