Travel videos

Short films shot on the trip, not in a studio. See the season, the weather and the crowds before you commit.

Watch before you book

Short films from the places our writers travelled this year. Every clip lists the region, the season it was filmed in and how long it runs.

Coastlines from above

Six stretches of shoreline shot at first light, from limestone cliffs to sand spits you can walk at low tide.

A week in the high country

What a multi-day mountain hut walk actually looks like, including the weather that turned on day three.

Under the reef

A first open-water dive filmed end to end, from the briefing on the boat to the safety stop.

Night markets after ten

Where locals eat once the tourist stalls close, and what to order when you cannot read the menu.

The slow train south

Eighteen hours of rail travel condensed into six minutes, with every stop and what it costs.

Desert nights

Setting up camp, cooking on sand and what the temperature really drops to after dark.

Traveller filming a bright shoreline

Filmed on the trip, not in a studio

Every film is shot by the traveller who wrote the matching story, on the same trip, with no crew. What you see is what the place looked like that week.
