Planning a short trip to Boston? I spent three days there in September and walked pretty much everywhere. In this episode I share where to stay in Boston, how to spend one day or a weekend there, and what the city's like in autumn.

I was in Boston for a conference in Seaport, but I stayed in the South End and walked in each morning. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Boston is so walkable that you really don't need a car, and you don't need to pay extra to stay right next to the sights either.

In this episode:

• Where to stay in Boston, and why Beacon Hill and the South End are my top picks

• Beacon Hill Books & Cafe, the most beautiful bookshop I've ever visited
• Boston Public Library, the Public Garden and Newbury Street
• Walking the Freedom Trail to the North End
• Eating well in Boston as a vegetarian
• What Boston is like in September, and when to go for autumn colour
• What I'd do with more time: Harvard and Salem

Lindos is sold as the prettiest village in Rhodes — whitewashed lanes, a clifftop acropolis, and a bay you've definitely seen on Instagram. But is it actually worth booking, and what does it cost once you're there?

We spent five days in Lindos and this episode is everything we learned. I get into the Lindos Acropolis — the €20 ticket, the steep climb, and why golden hour beats midday. There's the St Paul's Bay and Lindos Beach, and I talk through our scooter day down to Prasonisi at the southern tip, where the sea sits on both sides of a sandbar and the kitesurfers go.

If you're deciding between Lindos and the bigger Rhodes resorts, this podcast gives you insights into the best of this Greek island!

Chamonix is famous as a ski destination, but on this trip we visited during early summer. It was an active week-long trip full of hiking, biking and climbing, and turned out to be one of our favourite Europe trips of all time!

We stayed in the nearby village of Servoz, away from the more crowded centre of Chamonix, rented a car, and explored on foot, bike and via ferrata. We share the full itinerary in this voice note.
