At the age of 21, Lexie Alford has already visited all 196 countries in the world. That makes her the new Guinness World Record holder for youngest person to travel to every country, by three years. (There are 195 states widely recognized as countries, plus Taiwan.) With a family that ran a travel agency, Alford traveled widely as a child—by the age of 18 she’d already hit 72 countries. That’s when she decided to sprint for the world record, self-funding her trips via work as a travel consultant and some sporadic sponsorships. She documents her experiences on her blog and is now working on a book.
With just 29 suites, Shinta Mani Mustang - A Bensley Collection, is perched high above the town of Jomsom at the gateway of Upper Mustang, an isolated land which was previously forbidden to outsiders for centuries. This almost mythical region with its dramatic landscapes is hidden in the Kali Gandaki valley between the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Mountain ranges. It is one of the deepest valleys in the region and one of the most unique and preserved regions in the world. "Mustang" in Tibetan, translates to "Plain of Aspiration". It is bordered by the Tibetan plateau with an elevation that rises from 1,372 to 8,167 meters above sea level. Shinta Mani Mustang – A Bensley Collection is the perfect base for trekking and adventures in the surrounding area, exploring Buddhist monasteries and culture, or just enjoying the awe-inspiring vistas of some of the highest snow-capped peaks in the world, including the formidable Mount Nilgiri Himal.

(CNN) — A large passenger jet sits silent and still on the edge of a sun-beaten track. It won't fly again -- its engines have been stripped down, its wings wrecked and weathered by time. Nearby, shafts of sunlight pass through the smashed windows of a cavernous hangar. Everything is covered in dust and rust, a jumble of barbed wire, broken glass and sprouting weeds. On this part of Europe's last divided capital, time has long been frozen.

When I was young I would pore over National Geographic magazines and dream of adventures like this — train hopping through the Sahara Desert on one of the world’s longest trains. I had dreamt of the oceans, of the sand, the loud clattering noises of the train, the cold, the wind, the scorching sun.

Our unconventional 700km journey took us right through the Sahara to reach the coast, where we were hoping to find a place of forgotten shipwrecks and unknown surf. https://maptia.com/jodymacdonald/stories/journey-through-the-sahara

The clouds are lifting and the sunlit uplands are finally in the view. With the vaccine being rolled out, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and start planning for the gradual return of normal life. With our adventures put on hold last year, at MR PORTER we definitely feel like we need a bit of a breather. But where to go? The scientists still advise us to avoid crowds, for the time being.
