Travels · Agustina Fassina

Amsterdam, Haarlem & Alkmaar, Netherlands

Canals, bicycles and brick façades, from Amsterdam's busy streets to the quieter corners of Haarlem and Alkmaar.

Atlántida, Uruguay

A small coastal town with an easy pace, beach sunsets and the feeling of being close to home, but not quite.

Berlin, Germany

A city where every neighbourhood tells a different story. History, street art and long walks along the remains of the Wall.

Brussels, Ghent & Antwerp, Belgium

Three cities, ornate façades, towers and enough bicycles to make the train stations feel like landmarks of their own.

Cairo & Giza, Egypt

Nothing prepares you for the scale of the pyramids up close, or for the contrast between thousands of years of history and modern Cairo.

Cartagena, San Andres & Tayrona, Colombia

Remote work, oversized backpacks, Caribbean water and a few days sleeping between the jungle and the sea.

Edinburgh, Scotland

Stone closes, St Giles' crown steeple on the Royal Mile and a cemetery where the Old Town rises just behind the headstones.

La Rioja, Bariloche & Patagonia, Argentina

Home turf: Talampaya's red canyons, the flooded ruins of Villa Epecuén, paragliding at sunset, snow in Bariloche and Patagonian roads that never seem to end.

London & Stonehenge, England

Big Ben in the rain, a trolley through Platform 9¾ and prehistoric stones on a windswept Wiltshire hill.

Luxembourg City, Luxembourg

A compact capital of stately façades, quiet squares and reminders of just how small the country is.

Madrid, Barcelona & Toledo, Spain

Grand plazas, Gaudí after dark and old stone streets leading toward Toledo's cathedral.

Marina Bay, Singapore

A skyline built around water, with Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer and futuristic architecture appearing from every angle.

Paris, France

The Eiffel Tower beneath grey skies, then the city lights stretching toward the horizon from high above Paris.

Pas de la Casa, Andorra

Rocky Pyrenean trails, mountain lakes and a town that disappeared into the fog after dark.

Phi Phi, Phuket & Chiang Rai, Thailand

Turquoise water and limestone cliffs, elephants by a jungle river, the White Temple at Chiang Rai and nights in Phuket that felt almost too vivid to be real.

Poschiavo & St. Moritz, Switzerland

The Bernina route through snowy peaks, turquoise lakes and deep valleys, with stops in Poschiavo and St. Moritz along the way.

Punta Arenas & the south, Chile

Wind, cold coastline and the particular warmth of places built at the far end of the continent.

Rio, Búzios, Arraial do Cabo & Iguazu, Brazil

Christ the Redeemer and Lagoa from above, sunsets on the coast of Búzios and Arraial do Cabo, and the mist of Iguazu Falls in a yellow poncho.

Rome, Milan, Bergamo, Monza, Lake Como, Venice, Pisa & Sicily, Italy

The Colosseum at golden hour, Milan's cathedral at night, Bergamo Alta and Monza's striped Duomo, hills around Lake Como, a Venice canal, Pisa's tower and Sicily from Avola to Agrigento.

Teotihuacán, Mexico City, Chichén Itzá & Tulum, Mexico

Balloons and pyramids at Teotihuacán, the scale of Mexico City, Mayan ruins at Chichén Itzá, turquoise Caribbean waters and colourful streets in Tulum.

Valletta, Mdina & Gozo, Malta

Honey-coloured streets, fortified cities and water so blue that every ferry ride felt like part of the destination.

Warsaw, Kraków & Auschwitz-Birkenau, Poland

Warsaw in winter — the Palace of Culture, the snowy Old Town and a frozen football pitch — Kraków's main square, and a sobering visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
