1 2 of the best beaches in WalesSecluded sandy beaches, rockpools and dunes are scattered along Wales' undiscovered coastline Wales has some of the most dramatic coastlines in the world, with hundreds of hidden coves and bays.

Trust, modesty, and the pursuit of happiness: learning from the happiest people in the world on a Finnish adventure What is it about Finland that makes these people the smiliest around? One traveller tried to get to the bottom of it on a pursuit of happiness Semi-submerged up to my bare shoulders in a 4.1°C Baltic sea – snow falling on the bit of me above water – might not be the traditional place to start a piece about happiness, but, for Finland, it makes a lot of sense. They embrace the harsh and turn it to their advantage, are in touch with nature, and display a level of contentment which stems from the assurance that whatever life throws at you (in this case near-hypothermia), there’s always a support network to give you a soft landing (in this case a smoke sauna and a beer). www.cntraveller.com/article/what-is-it-about-finland-that-makes-the-people-the-happiest-in-the-world?9 May 2024 |

The Most Beautiful Coastal Towns in ItalyFor the sun-kissed, sea-washed sweet life, nothing beats a trip to Italy’s towns on the coast. When it comes to the ultimate vacation to Italy, towns on the coast may immediately come to mind. With roughly 4,900 miles of coastline, the Italian peninsula offers vastly different flavors of sun, sea, and sand all over the European boot: the lemon-scented beauty of Positano; the handsome elegance of verdant Portofino; the rustic and laidback vibes of Med-side comunes in Puglia, the breathtaking higgledy-piggledy buildings in all five settlements of Cinque Terre, and the big yachtin’-in-Capri energy of Italy's glamorous island resorts. In Italy, it’s always a good time to head to the ocean—even in the off-season. It’s just a matter of which coastal town to visit and fall in love with. The bustling restaurants of Rome, the sleek hotels of Milan, and the historic museums of Florence can wait; as much we adore the great cities and rolling hillsides of Italy, towns on the coast have plenty to offer all types of travelers, whether visiting for the first time or marking their tenth passport stamp from Rome-Fiumicino. Below, see 15 of the best Italian coastal towns, from Sicily to Manarola, as well as Condé Nast Traveler-approved recommendations of where to stay. These coastal havens have Mediterranean views, pristine beaches, excellent seafood, and well-preserved architecture—all of them well-worth a stop on your next trip. Warning: You may never want to come back.

J ourneying through the Malaysian Rainforest Aboard the Legendary Eastern & Oriental ExpressAfter four years, Belmond's luxury sleeper train has returned to Southeast Asia with completely restyled interiors and brand new routes. I pried open the blinds, letting dawn’s filigreed light into the cabin. Outside my window, wild forest zoomed past. All night the train had barreled up the “jungle rails,” a historic set of tracks that spans the length of peninsular Malaysia, from its southernmost tip to its border with Thailand in the northeast. Those tracks would lead us to Taman Negara, one of the world’s oldest rainforests and the last refuge of the Malayan tiger. I was one of 56 passengers, from as far as Texas, Romania, and New Zealand, who’d assembled the previous afternoon at Singapore’s Woodlands station to experience the return of the Eastern & Oriental Express, A Belmond Train, Southeast Asia, four years after being shut down by the pandemic. Waving the sticky heat around with our tickets, we awaited our boarding call, combing the crowd for the likelihood of new friendships. www.cntraveler.com/story/journeying-through-malaysian-rainforest-on-the-eastern-and-oriental-express?25 May 2024 |

How to pack light when you're only travelling with a carry-onFrom the suitcase you choose to the jacket you wear, it pays to be strategic when you pack Packing for a trip always feels like a dance between art and science – and attempting to pack light complicates things even further. As a travel journalist, I often find myself on the road several times a month – sometimes for weeks at a time navigating various modes of transportation. This means being self-sufficient with my luggage is key. I also don’t want to be concerned about lost luggage when I travel, so I opt to bring only a carry-on whenever I can. My mantra while packing for any trip, whether it's a domestic weekend getaway or a weeklong international adventure, is that every piece of gear has to be multi-functional to maximise space. Below, my tried-and-true tips for packing light with only a carry-on. www.cntraveller.com/article/how-to-pack-light#2 June 2024

Notting Hill: An insider's guide to this London neighbourhoodWhere to eat, drink, stay and shop in Notting Hill - west London's most vibrant neighbourhood Back in the 1960s and 1970s, Notting Hill was cool – a small west London neighbourhood where those who hadn't the resources to live in Chelsea or Kensington came to lay their hats. It was cheap, it was raw and it was edgy. This was the home of the famous Carnival, now the largest in Europe, a chilli-infused hotpot of multiculturalism. It was shabby and chic. It was a place to party, to hang out at late-night speakeasy bars, to buy music and fruit, Afghan coats and dodgy antiques from the Portobello Road and the odd illicit substance from the All Saints Road, when it was lined with bobbies, not posh bathroom shops. These days, the neighbourhood is known as London's fashionable Notting Hill. But despite all the boutiques and high-brand shops, the new resident bankers (and the tourists searching for Hugh Grant's blue door) you can still find the spirit of the real Notting Hill. You just have to know where to look. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/notting-hill-london?21 May 2024
