βTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didnβt do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.ββ Mark Twain
The thing about the travel bug is that once youβve been bitten, itβs with you for good.
And just as different occasions call for different outfits (youβre unlikely to wear a sequined party dress to co-sign a mortgage, though if you do, youβre our new favourite person), wherever you happen to be on your personal journey, thereβs a destination out there with your name on it.

Youβre newly single and emotional baggage is one thing that will not be counting towards your carry-on allowance.
With year-round sun and activities for beach babes and intrepid explorers alike, the volcanic island of Tenerife is an ideal destination for the footloose and fancy-free.
Once youβre done topping up your Vitamin D at Playa Jardin, take the cable car to the top of Mount Teide, go dolphin-spotting at Puerto Colon and round off the day with a drink at Playa de las AmΓ©ricas.
If youβre feeling especially adventurous, check out the incredible marine life at top diving spot Los Gigantes, or explore the Cueva del Viento, aka the biggest lava tube in Europe. Not for the faint-hearted!

Itβs a myth that you need tons of money to have a great time on the road.
With hostels starting at β¬8 a night and cocktails to be had for as little as β¬2,50, the Serbian capital of Belgrade is becoming a popular destination for those on a budget.
Wander around the sprawling Kalemegdan Fortress, take in some street art in the up-and-coming Savamala neighbourhood, enjoy a traditional Serbian meal on Skadarlija Street and still have cash left over for a drink on one of the splavovi (floating clubs) that dot the banks of the Danube.
βTravel isnβt always pretty. It isnβt always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But thatβs okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.β β Anthony Bourdain

Fast forward a few years and life may be more school runs and finger painting than scaling volcanoes while hung over, but that doesnβt make wanderlust a thing of the past.
While βwineβ isnβt the first thing that springs to mind when one thinks βchild-friendly travelβ, the Bordeaux region in France offers grape-based fun for kids and adults alike.

Bordeaux itself isnβt lacking in attractions for the little ones: kids will love splashing around in the miroir dβeau (reflecting pool) and checking out the amazing (and educational!) exhibits at the Cap Sciences centre.
