The views as you cross Sydney harbour from suburban Manly to Circular Quay are unrivalled. You might even spot dolphins swimming alongside the boat or the occasional whale breaching in the distance. Fast ferries complete the route in just eighteen minutes, with an onboard bar providing beers to sip on the way home.

In the city that brought us capsule hotels and shoebox apartments, it’s no surprise that space is at a premium on public transport. Tokyo’s inventive solution is to employ oshiya, white-gloved “people pushers” who cram as many passengers as possible onto the trains. Today they’re no longer ubiquitous, but the network still runs at up to two hundred percent capacity.

Linking the port with the museums, castle and gardens on the Montjuïc hill, the Transbordador Aeri isn’t a prime commuter route, but it’s a sensational journey for those that use it. Red-and-white cabins judder between the pylons every ten minutes or so, though the lofty views are certainly not for the acrophobic.

Built in the 1890s by an engineer called Eugen Langen, this suspended monorail runs for nearly fourteen kilometres across Wuppertal in western Germany, and has transported over 1.5 billion people since its construction. The sensation of the carriage movement is a little disconcerting, but lovely views along the Wupper tributary go some way to compensate.

There are just four bridges along Venice’s 3.5-kilometre-long Grand Canal, but luckily for those who work one side and live on the other, there’s an alternative to taking a dip. Skilled oarsmen regularly ply traghettos to-and-fro, ferrying passengers for a small fee. If your balancing skills are up to it, it’s traditional to stand during the short journey.

People commute from as far away as Antigua to Guatemala’s sprawling capital, with hordes of “chicken buses” plying every route imaginable. These brightly coloured rust-buckets are old Bluebirds, US school buses retired after ten years’ service. Daubed with multi-coloured designs and decked out with sound-systems, they are an undoubtedly distinctive way to get to work in the morning.

Taking just fifteen minutes to whisk commuters across the Burrard Inlet from North Vancouver to the central Waterfront Station, Vancouver’s SeaBus fleet offers both glorious views and a speedy commute. Once the boat has docked, many hop onto the automated SkyTrain network, an elevated line that zips above ground across the city.

A United Airlines passenger flew two hours across the US after the airline failed to reunite her with her bag.
These days, Babba Rivera is practically synonymous with her haircare line Ceremonia. The brand's Instagram feed is filled with shots of her lush brown hair, drenched in guava-scented products; signature pops of hibiscus pink, lime, and tangerine, are both splashed across bottles of deep-conditioners and her envy-inducing wardrobe. In that way, the line between work and personal life is always blurry—something she was reminded of when she recently spent a month working from Mexico City.
“Best airport” rankings aren’t typically the most helpful in terms of travel planning: If I want to go to Boston, I’m not going to head for Las Vegas instead because its airport is better. But those best airport lists do come in handy in two cases—when you have a choice of airport for your connecting flight, and when you can choose between multiple airports within a single metro area.
A 29-year-old man was arrested after attempting to open an aircraft's emergency exit door in mid-air, The Times of India reported.
You’ve already photographed the Big Five, sipped your way across Stellenbosch, straddled a camel beside the pyramids and now you’re looking for someplace new and different to feed your fascination with Africa.
As a road warrior for 35 years, Tanna Pearman has crisscrossed the country, staying at luxury hotels and roadside motels. Her least favorite are boxy convention hotels with cavernous lobbies that are easy to get lost in. But at the top of her list is extended-stay lodging.
Between the unlimited buffet, glamorous destinations, and entertainment around the clock, living on a cruise ship sounds luxurious, but there's a whole other world below deck.
When Ariel Stark-Benz looks back on his time living in Tokyo in 2015, he has no idea how he got so much done: “Tokyo is a relentless workday that turns into a dinner that turns into a party, and somehow a lot can materialize at the end of it,” says Stark-Benz, who spent his stint in the city overseeing brand marketing duties for The New Order Magazine and helping the team at Son of The Cheese—an Americana-inspired Japanese streetwear brand—with a coinciding summer collection and the opening of their flagship store and sandwich shop, Buy Me Stand.
At the far north of New Zealand’s South Island, visitors flock to the Nelson Tasman region to hike and kayak in spectacular Abel Tasman National Park. The turquoise waters and sheltered bays of this protected coastline are undeniably beautiful, but increased visitor numbers in New Zealand's smallest national park are putting pressure on infrastructure – particularly along the popular 60-kilometre Abel Tasman Coastal Track. Just beyond Abel Tasman’s northern rocky headland, peaceful Golden Bay sees a fraction of the park’s visitors.
Hamburg is perpetually on the brink of falling out with itself. On the one hand, it’s a city of convention and millionaires – Hamburg has the highest concentration in Germany – with all the associated trappings.
As a tourist in London, you won’t be short of company. The capital has the three most popular free visitor attractions in the UK (British Museum; National Gallery; Natural History Museum). It also lays claim to the top three paid-for sites (Tower of London; St Paul's Cathedral; Westminster Abbey).
