The most common question I got when I told everyone I was being sent to Swedish Lapland in February was, “Christmas is over, what are you going to do over there?” If you're looking for something different and aventurous, Luleå in Sweden offers so much more than just reindeer and Santa, and this is what I found out from my four days over there.

Palm Springs in a box

'Welcome to Palm Springs in a box,' said Jennifer as she opened the door and ushered us into the sauna.

Making the most of Mississippi

Mississippi has had a chequered history. Before the Civil War, cotton and slavery made it rich, and many of its white residents enjoyed a lavish lifestyle.

The idyllic island of Rona

When you think of a private island retreat, you immediately conjure up images of golden sands, clear blue waters and a vibrancy of colour that would make even Matisse jealous. And with more and more of these island homes for let, the only thing preventing most of us from renting one and turning it into our own private holiday idyll for a week or two, is the invariably high price tag that comes attached to the brochure.

The truth behind Japan's mass dolphin slaughter

I can’t say that I shared the same adoration that some friends had for dolphins at school. Don’t get me wrong, I like dolphins as much as the next person.
