Forget the Dolomites – the Albanian Alps have £1 beers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I send photos from my latest hiking adventure to a friend, his reply is immediate: ‘Are you in the Dolomites?’ It’s an easy mistake to make. The pictures show jagged peaks, sweeping valleys and brilliant blue skies, exactly the kind of scenery you’d expect to find in northern Italy. But there’s one giveaway that I’m somewhere else: there’s barely another tourist. I’m actually in Albania, deep in the Albanian Alps, also known as the Accursed Mountains – and there isn’t a gondola, Aperol terr
I tried Cambodia three ways — from £1,000 resorts to a night under the stars (opens the original)

It’s one of those places where a few pounds stretches far, hostels are plentiful and tuktuks cost less than your morning coffee back home. So naturally, I decided to do the opposite. Rather than chasing bargain beds, I wanted to see what Cambodia looked like at opposite ends of the spectrum – starting at one of the country’s grandest hotels, then swapping Egyptian cotton sheets for a sleeping bag in the jungle and ending the trip on an idyllic private island. Three wildly different ways to exper

Flicking through my camera roll at the airport, it’s difficult to fathom everything I’d packed into less than a week. There are shots of me soaking up the beach, living it up at a music festival, and checking into the luxurious confines of the Ritz-Carlton, then out on the streets of an ancient yet ultra-modern city. The final images show me hiking through an untouched mountain landscape at sunrise, with not another person in sight. You might assume I’d hopped over to one of Europe’s classic des
I'll never stop returning to the Greek island with gorgeous hiking trails (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the sea seems to blend seamlessly into a cloudless sky, it feels as though we are suspended in mid-air. ‘You’ve landed and reached heaven,’ hiking guide George Thyris says as we stand atop Mount Akramitis, the second-highest peak on Rhodes. I landed on the island – the fourth largest in Greece – the night before after an easy four-and-a-half-hour flight from London, and already it feels like I’m a world away. Sage, pine and wild herbs scent the balmy air, and apart from the occasional call of
I hiked Cambodia's highest mountain and stumbled across a plane crash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While millions of visitors head to Cambodia each year for the temples of Angkor Wat, thanks to my odd obsession for climbing the highest mountains in every country I visit, I found myself hiking through dense jungle instead. Having hired a local guide from a nearby village, we’d set off into thick rainforest where there were no crowds, no souvenir stalls and barely another person in sight. We were in search of the country’s highest peak, Mount Aural, a little-known summit rising more than 1,800
