We've driven a collective 24,800 miles on road trips across the US and UK. Here are 8 items we'll never travel without.

Visiting New York City has always been one of my biggest dreams and, as a fashion journalist, I was recently able to experience the Big Apple to cover some events.

Is the northern hemisphere’s approaching winter chill making you shiver and crave a tranquil trip to the tropics? Look no further than Tahiti. French Polynesia is easier than ever to reach with more direct flights from the US and the destination’s incredible tropical islands are best explored on a small-ship sailing cruise with Windstar Cruises.

Southwest is significantly discounting flights across the country, slashing prices in half for fall and winter travel. 

In the middle of a field in a lesser known part of Ireland is a large mound where sheep wander and graze freely.

A moonscape of volcanic craters, lava fields and belching thermal pools, northern Iceland is as starkly elemental as the country gets. The region has remained little known to UK visitors, partly due to its remoteness — until now, reaching it usually meant a five-hour drive from the capital Reykjavík or a 40-minute connecting flight. This stretch of the country’s wild coast is coming into the limelight this autumn thanks to scheduled direct flights with EasyJet, set to take off on 31 October.
