EPISODE 4: WHERE TO STAY, SIP AND SPLURGE IN CHAMPAGNE WITH NATALIE HAZEL

There’s the Champagne you drink, and then there’s the Champagne you discover.

Beneath Reims are ancient chalk cellars, centuries of history and a world that changed the course of Natalie Hazel’s life. What began as a fascination with wine became something much bigger - a connection to the region, its people and the rituals that keep drawing her back.

Along the way, there are Michelin-starred meals, unforgettable hotels, safari mornings and one very secret London bar - but the real luxury, she says, is feeling like you’re part of the place rather than simply passing through.

Episode 2: WHAT A FORMER VOGUE EDITOR DISCOVERED FROM BHUTAN'S TEMPLES TO THE AMAZON

Kirstie Clements has done travel at its most glamorous. But the moments she remembers best are a little less polished - floating beneath the stars in Iceland, listening to the Amazon rainforest, and discovering places where the most beautiful things can’t be photographed.

The former Vogue Australia editor and now travel writer takes Sophie from Paris and Fiji to Bhutan, Marrakech and the far reaches of the Amazon, sharing the places that have genuinely surprised her, and why these days she’d rather linger, get lost and let a destination unfold than race through a checklist.

Episode 1: DESIGN HOTELS, HIDDEN MARKETS AND THE AIRBNB THAT GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT

What does a designer see when they travel?

For Jono Fleming, it’s never just the destination. It’s the hotel lobby, the market stall, the perfect room, the unexpected city, the souvenir with a story, and the places that somehow look even better in real life.

From the sensory pull of Marrakech to the surprise of Taipei, this is travel through an interior designer’s eye - where colour, texture, chaos and detail become the memories you keep long after the suitcase is unpacked.
