    Cold food and blocked views: why it's time to fix our selfie etiquette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Philosopher George Berkeley argued that without an ear and conscious brain to hear it, the sound does not actually exist as a sensory experience. Add a dash of narcissism and this brain bender can translate to the world of selfies. "If you didn't post a pic of your souffle, did you really eat it?" I've actually had food bloggers tell me not to eat my dinner until they've photographed it. But first came the styli

    Love to leave online reviews? Here's what they reveal about you (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    You've barely checked out of the hotel when you are prompted to review your stay. "Tell us about your experience at 'Casa del Clickbait'. Please rate us highly or giant snakes will eat our children. Thank you!" We are asked to review our flights, meals and bungee jumps. Look, if I survived these, they were fine. My critical criterion for any plane is that it has the same number of landings as take-offs. Very few reviews are available for flights that did not achieve this KPI. Ditto for unsuccess

    Griswolds or Corleones? The truth about family holidays that no one tells you (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Heading off on holiday with three (or more) generations in tow sounds idyllic. Lazy, hazy days of relaxation and connection, of wine and roses, of lovely lasting memories and enhanced affection. At least that's what it looked like in the glossy brochure. But in practice, it can resemble a UN summit about the Middle East with Donald Trump in charge of splitting the bill. The reality is an intergenerational holiday could go either way. Of course, there will be moments of tension. But what fam even

    The Aussie traveller abroad: are we as loveable as we think we are? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Our travel self-image is adventurous, friendly and chill. Is that how the world sees us? Perpetually peripatetic, Aussies are the world's most prolific tourists, staying long and spending big wherever our planes, trains, automobiles and cruise ships carry us. We tackle tours, tucker, transport and time zones with relish, wasabi and tkemali. From world trip to weekender, from penthouse to poop deck, from fine dining to fish tacos, Aussies do it all. Offered the chance to spend 22 hours on a singl

    Polar plunges and shark swims: why travel makes even cautious people daredevils (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Courageous travel comes in many forms. Selecting a window seat on Ryanair, ordering a biryani with extra chilli in Tamil Nadu, trusting a Colombian taxi driver who "knows a shortcut" and telling your wife to "calm down" spring readily to mind. Some are more dangerous than others, but they all require intestinal fortitude, especially the biryani. This subject of heightened holiday heroism has occurred to me from time to time. Other than my ill-advised response when my wife was directing me how an
