A Flavor for Fiji | Daniel Scott | Fiji, The North (Vanua Levu and Taveuni), Savusavu
Fiji’s natural beauty white sand beaches, calm blue seas and nodding palm trees - remains a considerable pull.
An Insider’s View of Bondi | Daniel Scott | Australia, New South Wales, Sydney
6.30am on a spring morning and I pull back the duvet in my North Bondi flat. Quickly, I throw on my running gear and am out of the door before my body can protest too loudly.
Border Country | Daniel Scott | United Kingdom, Southern Scotland, Yetholm
Daniel Scott sets off on foot and by bicycle to explore the border country of Scotland and England and finds a haven of peace and space among former battlefields and ancient castles.
Canoeing the Zambesi | Daniel Scott | Zimbabwe, Zambezi National Park, Victoria Falls

There are good times to visit Alsace, France’s smallest region…
Corsica | Daniel Scott | France, Corsica, Corsica
"The train is never late," jokes the beady-eyed black-bearded station master as we wait in the middle of the Corsican mountains for it to arrive, "but the timetable is often a little wrong."
Cruising the Blue Lagoons | Daniel Scott | Fiji, Yasawa Islands (North), Yasawa Islands
Fed on a steady diet of nodding palms, pearly sand beaches, staggeringly blue seas and teeming reefs, not to mention a seemingly unstoppable conveyor belt of all-too edible food, you're that chilled out that not a lot taxes you.
Cruising the Burgundy Canals | Daniel Scott | France, Burgundy, Tournus
It's 4pm on a mid-summer Sunday afternoon in the belly of the Burgundy vineyards. Heat crowds the old town square. Barely a whisper carries across it. It's so still that the slam of a door now would seem like an earthquake.
Crusing The Grand Union Canal | Daniel Scott
I have to admit to some doubts when I discovered that the location for our canal cruise was the Grand Union canal, starting near Leighton Buzzard…
Darwin to Perth in a Campervan | Daniel Scott | Australia, Northern Territories, Darwin
The 100 metre walls of Windjana Gorge are lit up like the heart of a flame. Behind them the sky is crowded with tawny clouds floating on an ocean of pink. As the sun dips imperceptibly on the horizon so the mirror-image of the glowing walls and the burnished background grows ever more perfect in the dusky water below.
Diving the Milford Sound | Daniel Scott | New Zealand, South Island, Fiordland National Park
All around us are towering, glowering peaks rising with perfect irregularity from the flat, green waters of the fjord.
Diving with Great White Sharks | Daniel Scott
Below me circling somewhere beneath the swell are the lumpen outlines of not one but two 15 ft Great White Sharks.
Expedition to dive with Great White Sharks | Daniel Scott
Somewhere, unseen in the flaxen water nearby, were two 4.5 metre Great White Sharks
Houseboating on the Hawkesbury | Daniel Scott | Australia, New South Wales, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park
The water around the boat is like molten gold, the black hills ahead of us back lit by yellow-white light and the sky is a rhapsody of fleecy cloud in blue, pink, red, grey and orange
Madeira | Daniel Scott | Portugal, Madeira, Madeira
Like a migrating bird I have flown south and have landed in Madeira
On the Trail of the Lancashire Witches | Daniel Scott | United Kingdom, North Western England, Lancashire
We've just reached the summit of Pendle Hill in Lancashire when the image of the three wizened witches from Macbeth skips across my mind's eye.
Snowy's River | Daniel Scott | Australia, Northern Territories, Gregory National Park
In the corner of the small pool I make my sixth frantic attempt to mount the slippery underside of my upturned canoe, and try once more to drag my flailing legs from under the dusky waters of the Flora River
Tahiti Shark Diving | Daniel Scott | French Polynesia, Society Islands, Tahiti
Strangely, there is no fear. As we anchor ourselves onto the reef, a total of eight large silvertips now surround us. A flurry of excited bubbles rises from our mouths as the sharks jink and circle around us
Talking Italian | Daniel Scott | Italy, Umbria, Perugia
It was on a balmy night during the Italian summer, sitting in a central Perugia night club, that I had the most cause to be thankful that I'd decided to spend time learning the language at the town's university
The Love Bus | Daniel Scott | Australia, Australian Capital Territory, Canberra
At the centre of the room a Rubenesque woman is holding court, the light catching a twist of green at the front of her coal black hair
Virgin Atlantic's Upper Class Suite | Daniel Scott
The best thing about the Virgin suite is simply its size. At 56cm wide and 208cm long, the seat is the largest “fully-flat bed in business class” as well as being broader than most First Class seats on other airlines
Walking The Cornish Coast Path | Daniel Scott | United Kingdom, Devon and Cornwall, Cornwall
Wallop! It’s not quite the introduction to Cornwall that I’d been hoping for. There I am, minding my own business outside the regional Tate gallery in St Ives, when I am assaulted and robbed in broad daylight.
Walking the Grande Route 20 | Daniel Scott | France, Corsica, Calvi
All around me there are granite peaks shaped like crumpled druids hats and below me lie thickly forested valleys and velvet mountain meadows.
