World Nomads

Project background In Renk, a border town receiving large numbers of displaced families, many arrive with nothing—no food, shelter, or reliable income. Children are among the most affected, facing high levels of malnutrition and disruption to their education. Hunger has a direct impact on whether children can attend school. Without enough to eat, families often prioritise survival over education, and children miss out on learning, safety, and stability.

Thank you to everyone who took part We were blown away by the thousands of entries we received from travelers around the world, each sharing the experiences that draw them to Japan. From cherry blossoms, ramen crawls, and 7‑Eleven stops, to onsens, temples, and Mount Fuji. Overall, it was clear that travelers are seeking deeper, more meaningful ways to experience Japan beyond the usual highlights.

Known for its vibrant football culture and passionate fans, Mexico will be the first country to host three World Cup tournaments (1970, 1986, and 2026). FIFA officials expect this year’s tournament to draw some 5.5 million visitors throughout Mexico. An event of this size, held in a country that has recently experienced a wave of cartel violence, has many travelers wondering if the World Cup will be safe for visitors.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest in the tournament’s history, with 104 matches across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. 78 of those matches will be held in eleven US host cities – Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, Seattle, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The tournament is expected to draw 10 million visitors in the US alone. Are the host cities ready for crowds of this size?

Why the Valbonë-Theth Hike is Europe’s Hidden Gem Everyone has heard of the Tour du Mont Blanc; your friend who went to Italy won’t stop raving about the Dolomites. But few know about Europe’s best-kept secret. Nestled in Albania’s Alps (known as the Accursed Mountains) is a hike that will leave you breathless. Although most complete it in a single day, the route can also be extended into a multi-day trek, using either Valbone or Theth as a base to explore deeper into the mountains.

Hot air balloons drifting over Cappadocia at sunrise. Cave hotels carved into rock. Long coastline lunches that roll lazily into the afternoon. Turkey looks like the kind of place where your budget quietly disappears. I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be. Turkey is textured, theatrical, and at first glance, expensive. But Turkey moves to a different rhythm if you pay attention.

Indonesia charms tourists with its tropical scenery, sublime religious sites, addictive food and welcoming people. However, some travelers are wary of its history of natural disasters and terrorist attacks. That’s fair. But, during my 35 years of regularly visiting Indonesia, I’ve found the greater concerns are road safety, theft, scams, and illness.
