I spent several hours relaxing on the banks of the sacred Yamuna River near the mighty Taj Mahal in northern India. The Taj Mahal is an incredible building and a worthy UNESCO World Heritage Site but its gardens and the river that glides past it are, in my view, equally as enchanting.

If you are wondering 'what's so special about the Taj Mahal', 'is it worth it to go to the Taj Mahal', 'what is special about Yamuna River' or 'can I see peacocks at the Taj Mahal', this podcast might help.

I just revisited my favourite island in the archipelago just offshore from Finland’s capital, Helsinki. On each trip to this wonderful country I try to explore new islands but I keep getting lured back by one in particular: Pihlajasaari.

This is one of my happy places. I feel connected to the land and enriched by every moment I spend here. It’s my rehab, detox and therapy all rolled into one. It's also the place that first inspired me to create the Six Minutes Somewhere Else podcast. I couldn't have been in a more fitting place to celebrate my podcast's first birthday. Cheers!

If you are wondering 'can I go island hopping in Helsinki', 'what are the top ten things to see and do in Helsinki', or 'what are Helsinki's hidden gems', this first birthday podcast episode should give you a few answers.

I spent a day of marine mindfulness cruising across the calm Caribbean waters in the Lesser Antilles, en route to the Tobago Cays. I also channelled one of the Pirates of The Caribbean films and a classic 80s pop music video, then snorkelled with turtles. All up, a pretty amazing day – tropical nourishment for the soul.

If you are wondering 'what to do in the Tobago Cays', 'which Caribbean island is the best to sail around', or 'where is the best place to see turtles in the Caribbean', this episode might have a few answers for you.
