Do you agree that the word best suited to November is ‘bleargh?’⁠
⁠
The dark and damp gets us down a bit. So why not head to the Caribbean or Asia next November, and beat the blues?⁠
⁠
A festive break overseas is glorious but if you don’t mind taking your leave a month early, beat the crowds and have the festivities to look forward to when you come home.⁠

What’s better than Kasbah Bab Ourika?

Two lots of eye candy in the form of Liam Hemsworth and Laura Dern at Kasbah Bab Ourika.

So many films have become cult classics thanks to their incredible shoot locations.

Ancient Petra in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? Matt Damon in The Martian, driving across Wadi Rum, sorry we mean the surface of Mars armed with potatoes?

So book some tickets to the flicks or crash on the sofa with Netflix - and reserve a seat on a plane to visit these gorgeous places yourself.
