Underground Supper Clubs
Ever wondered what a supper club actually is?
“It’s a community of people who are connected to each other and come together to eat
good food in a home setting.” - Sunday Dinner Club
Food-focused gatherings with people as equally obsessed with experiencing new culinary sensations as you. While the theme is no longer a mystery, the menu and the chef often is until you arrive, but this just adds to the excitement. Typically located in someone’s dining room at home, you could get gourmet burgers and beers prepared by a celebrity chef, or an authentic Asian tasting menu in a ‘hidden restaurant’ you’d never noticed before by someone you’ve never heard of. This 2020 travel trend is a great way to discover new places, taste new sensations and make new friends. To find some of the best supper clubs in the world, the cities to visit are Chicago, Washington DC, Paris, New York, Berlin, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and London.

Mini breaks
If your travel bucket list is as long as your arm, you’ve set yourself a hefty challenge. In today’s busy and expensive world, jetting off isn’t as easy as we’d all like it to be. But this 2020 travel trend might be just the answer. If you don’t have the time or the money to enjoy extended stays in all the places you want to explore, join the micro trippers out there that are taking short yet packed holidays instead. A long weekend away can be just the ticket to take time out, experience something new, not spend too much money and still be home in time for work on Monday. You’ll get to tick off more of the places you’ve been dreaming of and make lighter work of that list. A city break fits the criteria perfectly, and we can show you how to immerse yourself in a new destination in just a couple days. Check out our most popular guides:
