Once affectionately described by locals as a place of ‘yells, bells and smells’, the island nation of Malta’s personality can be described as optimistic, gregarious and … emotional. People here wear their heart on their sleeve, as I fast learn (again). This is the Mediterranean’s extrovert island, where precision and order yield to art and individualism.

On a cruise to the top of the Earth with Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express, dramatic Scandinavian landscapes are guaranteed.

A journey into the heart of the Okavango Delta with &Beyond Tented Camps will saturate your senses while satiating your soul in a curated reconnection with nature at its most primal. The tented camp experience offers a sublime experience, utterly embraced by the untamed wild.

Dating to around 3.6 billion years ago, the Pilbara region of Western Australia is home to the fossilised evidence of the Earth's oldest lifeforms.

So many of Australia’s remarkable treasures are isolated by the tyranny of distance and forces of nature. Extraordinarily powerful events and ancient secrets are hidden from all but a privileged few, fortunate enough to be guided through Australia’s Kimberley coast, aboard vessels like The Great Escape.

Privacy and complete personalisation – these are among the alluring
attributes of a charter cruise aboard a luxurious motorised catamaran.
And for the fortunate few, exclusive charter represents the ultimate
bespoke way to explore the world’s greatest waterways.

There’s nothing like the prospect of your first landing on Antarctica and, regardless of how much research you’ve done, there’s no preparing for the incredible rush of boots down on this mysterious continent.

If your idea of cruising is about science discovery and adventure, this fresh offering from a Norwegian line will leave you awestruck.

Whether you’re tracing ancient Puebloan footsteps, marvelling at soaring
sand dunes or channelling your inner cowboy on a ranch, Colorado’s
lesser-known wilderness areas offer a front-row seat to nature writ large,
discovers Dan Avila.

Mention Colorado and you probably think of zipping down snowy slopes on skis.
But there’s much more to this easy-on-the-eyes Rocky Mountain state than winter
sports, as Dan Avila discovers.

Dan Avila cruises to the end of the Earth on the worlds newest and greenest expedition ship, discovering that Antarctica can turn on calm perfection.

The Kimberley Coast is one of Western Australia’s last truly wild, untamed
places. Dan & Zora give in to its irresistible pull with a cruise (or two)
aboard an expedition yacht made for sailing amid the region’s
stunning gorges and cascading waterfalls.

Famed for its awe-inspiring northern lights, Canada’s icy Yukon Territory is an exhilarating playground for avid adventurers. Photographer Dan Avila explores the
majestic mountainous beauty of this frozen subarctic wonderland.

A Norwegian expedition cruise line takes adventurous travellers to explore a very different Caribbean, far from the madding crowds and trinket shops of the popular
tourist hotspots. Dan and Zora Avila capture the beauty of the islands.

Some adventures are tours with a mere flavouring of what an authentic experience would really be like. Others, like Hurtigruten’s multi-day snowmobile expeditions, are most certainly the real deal

The Caribbean may be a modern-day playground for sun seekers, but for those prepared to explore beyond the powder white beaches, there is a treasure trove of history deep within its forested heart.

There’s more to the Arlberg than skiing - it’s also a fairytale wonderland for photographers

The jewel of the mid-west region of Western Australia is The Abrolhos Islands, one of the most pristine and beautiful marine environments in the world.

A ski vacation at Jackson Hole delivers a whole lot more than snow

Jackson Hole is not just about world class skiing, with the delights of the town of Jackson and the beauty of Yellowstone National Park on the doorstep

Western Australia’s Kimberley region is
a spectacular, ancient land that abounds
with natural wonders.

Whether in the desert chatting with Pashtun falconers or sipping 24-carat gold-laced coffee with Emiratis in a palace, it is the spirit
of hospitality that indelibly makes its mark on Dan Avila during his visit to this land of extremes.

Getting to the ice cave is half the fun; taking control of a dog sled to venture into the great white wilderness part of the adventure.

Dan and Zora set out to find the aloha spirit on Maui and the Big Island.

From the colonial corner to the forts and beaches, Salvador is a kaleidoscope of colour and personality, a rhythmic blend of carnival and culture, food and personality, history and celebration

Big Corn is one of the islands that delivers everything you would hope for in a Caribbean hideaway: sandy beaches and calm azure waters on one side and dense coral reef on the other.

KATHERINE GORGE, OR NITMILUK AS IT IS
known as in the local Jawoyn language, is one of the wonders of northern Australia and Cicada Lodge is the perfect base from which to explore it.

The natural beauty, safety, and accessibility of the Ningaloo marine park sets this destination front and centre of WA’s must visit locations.

Exploring the end of the world is best done with a camera

FROM THE AIR, THE MAGNITUDE AND
spectacle of Bullo River Station is jaw-dropping. At 1627 square kilometres, this cattle station along the coffee-coloured Victoria River seems to be a perfect slice of the Kimberley.

A voice crackles over the radio: “OK Dan, I
want you to drive through the slalom course,
making the car slide sideways through each
turn, got it?” Not wanting to abuse the privilege, I respond,
“So, shall I give it a bit of a boot?”
“Yeah, you’re good to go. Drive it like you
stole it.”

IT TAKES A BOLD VISION TO PULL OFF A
place like Southern Ocean Lodge. A remote setting miles from anywhere, high on a limestone cliff top on a sparsely populated island in the Southern Ocean didn’t make things easy.

ARRIVING AT KANGAROO ISLAND, THERE IS
a feeling of stepping back in time to the Australia of 50 years ago. Very little traffic, no crowds to speak of and a feeling of an unhurried existence that an older generation
might describe as ‘the good old days’

With one foot in Europe and the other in Asia, Istanbul’s cultural marvels are a photographer’s dream.

Sometimes, less is more. Fewer people, less noise, no interruptions, no crowds, no rush.

I’m standing in a wetsuit on the
edge of a boat, looking down at an
open cage as a Great White shark rises
from the deep to pursue a bait being

To many, the Alps are the prime locations for snow sport excellence. Endless runs in pristine conditions, fabulous infrastructures and picturesque villages with a chic Euro style; it is ski heaven.

The northern most region of the state of Western Australia, Kimberley, is one of the most remote and sparsely populated regions on earth.

IT’S JUST AFTER DAWN AND THE OCEAN IS SO CALM. It’s like a mirror; it’s difficult to see where the water ends and the sky
begins.

In the far region of New Zealand’s south island is magical Queenstown. Equal parts adrenaline-charged action and jaw-dropping beauty, the city also offers pure luxury and an epicurean experience to rival the world’s best.

Sometimes the best travel experiences come from not following the crowds. In fact, in one of the world’s most lauded cities, avoiding the herd can result in a far more enriching experience.

I love Singapore. This tiny island city-state is something of an enigma with its lack of obvious natural resources or sheer land-mass, yet it has fashioned itself as a powerhouse economy of Asia and continues to grow from strength to visionary-strength.

The rugged red rocks and pure-fed waterholes of Karijini National Park are a photographer’s dream.

As the cascading waterfall flows around
him in the first ancient amphitheatre of Joffre
Gorge, it becomes completely clear to Dan Avila why Karijini National Park is the
undisputed jewel of The Pilbara.

Getting to the most beautiful and untouched locations in the world comes with a price for the discerning traveller.

There is something primal about Canada’s Yukon. It is mostly raw and untamed extending north to the Arctic Circle.

When it comes to choosing a family holiday
destination, Western Australia offers
world-class choices that will please the entire
family and encourage engagement with a
diverse and pristine environment.

Austria’s Arlberg region is the birthplace of alpine skiing and not long after the birth of any kids here, they’ll find themselves on a pair of skis or a tiny snowboard in this glorious skiing heaven
