We’re bringing #LPChat back with a bang, by celebrating those hidden gems, little-known wonders and secret marvels that are tucked away in all corners of the globe, just waiting to be discovered.
There’s nothing quite like stumbling across a wonderfully wild vista or hauntingly mysterious monument that feels completely new and untouched. It’s truly one of the best things about travel. To mark the release of our new book, Secret Marvels of the World, which lists 360 extraordinary places you never knew existed, we want to hear about your off-the-beaten-track travel tales in our new #LPChat.
Whether you’ve got a marvel-worthy experience to share, or are looking for adventure inspiration, join us to discuss the planet’s weirdest, wildest and most wondrous secrets. We’ll see you there on Thursday 20 July from 4:30pm BST / 8:30am PST.
Our favourite tweeter will win a copy of our new book Secret Marvels of the World!

Devoted antidotes to the 9-to-5, Dave and Deb make it their mission to inspire readers to change their lives through travel, be it by recounting hair-raising challenges like the Tour d’Afrique and the Mongol Rally, or by expertly extolling the benefits of stepping outside your comfort zone (no matter how small the step).
ATLAS AND BOOTS
Self-confessed adventure junkies and die-hard fans of ‘thrilling activities in far-flung places’, Peter and Kia of Atlas and Boots are so far off the beaten track, they may never see it again… A photographer and author respectively, these outdoor enthusiasts stop at nothing to discover the world, leaving absolutely no stone unturned along the way. From swimming with whales in Tonga to trekking volcanoes in Vanuatu, this is a couple for whom exploration is a way of life.
