Secret Trips is a collective of writers, photographers, stylists and fashion designers, all of whom grew up criss-crossing the world with dog-eared guide books stuffed into our backpacks. Thirty years on, we’re all still avid travellers, and while we may like things a little more luxurious these days, we still seek out places with the same spirit: under-the-radar destinations, independent hotels, local restaurants. Collectively, our work has taken us all over the globe to all kinds of amazing places where we’ve met all kinds of amazing people. Now, we’re asking them to share with us the places they’ve loved: the secret spots and hidden gems, hideaway hotels and off-the-beaten-track beaches. Places that they love, and we love, and we think you’ll love too.
