The Most Iconic Road Trips in the USA

26th March 2026

Jack Kerouac's On the Road, Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley, and the 1960s TV show Route 66. American roads have a reputation for a reason, and their depiction in movies, TV shows, and media only adds to it. They are as much a symbol of American culture as the American eagle, and for good reason.  The roads are built for long drives, with highways that cut through deserts, mountains, coastlines, and small towns. The scale and diversity of the US road network are unparalleled. The country has one of the largest and most developed highway systems in the world. There is also a sense of freedom, of self-paced travel that a road trip in the USA offers.

Five of the World's Best Literary Destinations

23rd March 2026

'Getting lost in the pages of a book’ is an expression that resonates with many: books allow us to enter other worlds and other experiences - and the memories often linger far beyond the final chapter. So it’s unsurprising that the popularity of literary tourism has surged in recent years. Readers are no longer content to simply escape into a book: they want to step into the world of the author, or of the protagonists. Screen adaptations have, of course, been instrumental in this shift. Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings have both turned real destinations into places that fans seek out in an effort to immerse themselves into those fictional worlds. Social media has also played a part, with visual platforms such as TikTok and Instagram bringing literary landmarks, and aesthetically pleasing book shops and libraries into the palms of our hands - and inciting a yen to see them for ourselves. A desire for slower, more immersive travel is also a factor. Rather than ticking off a list of sights and landmarks, travellers now prefer to linger and get a genuine sense of place, or a feeling of connection with the places they visit. Some destinations heighten the experience for visitors - Dublin is just one example. They tap into their literary histories and arrange programmes of festivals, exhibitions and talks, giving travellers a focal point around which they can build the rest of their trip. So, if your muse has been awakened, here are some ideas to further inspire you...

Now that the first teasing hints of Spring are showing, you may be itching for summer to arrive - and who could blame you? After a long winter, the temptation to soak up some Vitamin D is justifiably strong.
