Waking up next to these lakes with the silent whispers of ancient Sogidan stories on the wind? The literal definition of #BestInTravel

Very excited to see @lonelyplanet's Best In Travel 2026 out in the wild, including me waxing lyrical about wild camping in Tajikistan, a country that should be synonymous with trekking. Can't wait to hold the book, packed with some of my fave photos too! lonelyplanet.com/best-in-travel

From The Guardian this weekend: gushing over my favourite region of Portugal, the Beira Interior's historic villages, and the new sustainable, community projects making it easier to explore... theguardian.com/travel/2025/ju… @TravWriters

For the Guardian's round-up of USA-Europe summer swaps, I swooned over @visitportugal's Santa Cruz as a solid surf alternative to its namesake California counterpart... theguardian.com/travel/2025/ju…

Enjoyed writing this one – Portugal might be golden beaches to some, but to me it’s oh-so green…

@EurovisionTom Also happening in Graz... danflyingsolo.com/eurovision-hos…

NOT the Eurofans booking out the entirety of hotels in Innsbruck🇦🇹 😭

Could this be the 2026 #Eurovision host city in Austria? I think it might well be here: danflyingsolo.com/eurovision-hos…

Castles, courtyards, crazy churches, and clubbing until dawn… my first two weeks of slow travel in #Graz have been glorious – especially with the sun blazing. #traveldeepergraz

Taking the slow, scenic overland route to Austria via the Dolomites is always a good idea 😍 Excited to be heading back to one of my favourites, Graz, for an extended stay on a writing residency to really get to know the city. #traveldeepergraz

Updated my fave islands post (+❤️Taiwan❤️) and was chuffed that traffic had already soared as #1 on Google. Especially happy as there's no Maldives, Bali, or Tahiti – nice to see my loved and sometimes offbeat spots beating typical lists. danflyingsolo.com/unique-islands… #TimeforTaiwan

@annahrichards One of my fave France stays is Château Hôtel du Colombier near St Malo – gorgeous setting, traditional but well kept, 10/10 hospitality and a fab base if you’ve driving over by ferry.

Which has just been a nice reminder that my profile picture is drinking pomegrante wine while kipping on a floor in the Fergana Valley (which word count sadly got the better of...)

Loved reliving adventures on Uzbekistan's platzkarts and in Karakalpakstan (plus Kōchi's minshuku and Niyodo Blue) while writing about why they are two of Asia's most endearing solo travel spots for @lonelyplanet
