From the highlights of Marrakech in just two days, to a 5-day winter trip to Iceland, to four days in Chiang Mai to 3 weeks in South Africa: these itineraries are simply how we spent our days — mostly unhurried, occasionally over-ambitious, and always adjusting plans as we went along. They’re real, day-by-day accounts that include time for coffee, people-watching and wandering, as well as the odd moment where we tried to cram in too much and immediately wondered why we’d thought that was a good idea. Use them as a guide rather than a rulebook, and feel free to steal the bits that suit your pace and skip the rest.
