Argentina: the end of the world, and two glaciers
Part one of two: three weeks in Patagonia and the Atacama, starting with an airport strike. Ushuaia, the Beagle Channel and a beach full of penguins, then El Calafate for Mount Fitz Roy and the Perito Moreno glacier.

Chile: the W trek, a thirtieth birthday in the Andes, and the driest desert on earth
Part two of two: turning thirty on the first morning of the W trek, a puma past camp that same evening, five days and 110 kilometres through Torres del Paine — then the flight the length of Chile to San Pedro de Atacama.

Malaysia: four days in Kuala Lumpur, and a birthday
Part five of five, and the end of the series. Batu Caves at seven in the morning, the best filter coffee of the month, a birthday dinner with four Michelin plaques by the door, and a rooftop on the last night.
-
Vietnam: eight days, and the one place we would give more of
Part three of five. Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Ha Long, Hoi An, Da Nang and Saigon in eight days — the day trip that beat the famous one, the town we would go back to, and why Michelin-listed eating in Vietnam costs almost nothing.

Cambodia: one enormous day at Angkor, and one day to recover from it
Part four of five. Three nights in Siem Reap, no Phnom Penh: a nine-and-a-half-hour temple day starting at half past four in the morning, then a whole day of doing nothing on purpose — and the trick that gets you Angkor Wat almost to yourself.

Qatar: three days in Doha, and the end of the month
Part six of six, and the end of the series. We turned a two-hour connection on the way home into three days — Souq Waqif at blue hour, the murals of the Mina District, Katara, The Pearl, and Lusail Marina on the last evening of the month.

Laos: five nights, and the slowest week of the month
Part two of five. Luang Prabang, Kuang Si Falls, the moon bears, and a thatched hut out over Nam Ngum lake.

Thailand: the first stop of a month across Asia
One month, five countries. Thailand was where it began — Bangkok, Krabi and Chiang Mai, and the easiest place in the world to start.

26 nights across America
Nine parks, two coasts, one rental car. We left Munich in May with a plan that everyone we told about it said was far too much. New York first, then all the way across to San Francisco, where we would pick up a car and drive south and east — through the Sierra Nevada, into…
