24hrs in the 'all round' city? Start with smoothies, end with 'pharmacy' cocktails, and squeeze in a castle, Picasso and a riot of history, shopping and tapas en route. 

You'll need to be agile and selective but spectactular views, hiking, glaciers and Malbec are all within reach in this one-week itinerary to my favourite spots. 

Just one day in Penang?  Shame, shame *rings bell*. Oh well,  hunt down hidden street art, refuel with char kway teow and the best laksa of your life. Colonial charm, chaos, and chili, with a garnish of tropical heat.

Much more than a stop-off between Queenstown and Christchurch.  Hike Roy’s Peak at dawn for views that belong on a postcard, then paddle across the lake like you own it. 

Turn south when you arrive in Phoenix and discover the joys of Sonoma Hot Dogs, sand that looks like snow and the Wild West as you always dreamed it.

5 days on 4 wheels is the ideal way to experience the best of Bulgaria.  Culture, coastline and communist kitsch abound in one of Europe's most surprising countries.
