I’ve been daydreaming over the many intriguing locations in the DK book ‘The Road Less Travelled’ lately. It takes well known ‘travel icons’ and offers less-known alternatives.

Flight prices to S. America are not cheap right now for travel towards the end of the year, so I’m searching for somewhere that really inspires me (all the while keeping an eye on those flight prices in the hope of a sale!).

The latest idea is south-east China, but it may come to nothing. I’ve been looking through old travel photos lately, longing for the colours and sounds of South America and I know that’s where I really want to be.
