Texas rarely makes the shortlist for UK families planning a big American trip. Florida has the theme parks and California has the coastline, so the Lone Star State tends to get overlooked. Yet a direct flight from London to Dallas Fort Worth takes roughly ten hours, which is about the same as Orlando, and the reward is a side of the US that feels friendlier, more spacious and far less crowded with other tourists. With a bit of planning around the heat, the distances and the jet lag, it makes a surprisingly easy first long-haul trip with little ones.

If you’d like to get away from the stress and the drizzle during winter, then a city break might seem an obvious choice. You might pick out a European capital that you’ve always wanted to visit, and see how incredible it looks when lit up at night-time. Throw in the cuisine and the architecture, and it’s easy to see why such a break might appeal.

But at the same time, there’s more to winter travel than this default option. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer, and see if we can find an alternative that appeals.

Imagine beginning your holiday with an espresso in a sunlit Italian piazza, then spending the second half wandering along Portugal’s Atlantic coastline, where tiled façades overlook narrow streets and the scent of grilled sardines drifts from neighbourhood restaurants. Italy and Portugal have distinct identities, yet both reward travellers who appreciate good food, historic architecture and the pleasure of exploring on foot. Combining them in one trip offers a change of scenery without losing the relaxed Mediterranean spirit that makes southern Europe so appealing. The key is to resist the temptation to see everything. Choose one or two bases in each country, allow enough time to settle into local life and treat the journey between them as a transition rather than another sightseeing challenge.

Electricity is available at many lodges along the Manaslu trail in Nepal, so carrying a power bank might seem unnecessary. But electricity does not always mean having uninterrupted access to a charging socket. There are power cuts and the sockets fill up quickly. During those times, some Manaslu lodges rely on generators and offer limited charging time in the evening when the regular supply is unavailable.

For anyone doing the Manaslu Circuit trek in Nepal, a power bank comes in very useful. Phones are used for photos, maps, communication, and checking route information, so keeping enough battery for the day is more important than it seems at first.
