Hopefully you got away over the summer to relax, recharge and ready your intellect for it all. What’s that? Your travelling free spirit is not quite ready to get back to the grind? We get it. Luckily there are worthy options, which we’ll be presenting over the coming weeks. We started with a getaway in Niagara and now we’re ready for some Miami heat!

What’s that? Your travelling free spirit is not quite ready to get back to the grind? We get it. Luckily there are worthy options – ranging from local getaways to extended road trips to soothing sun-soaked breaks – which we'll present over the next few weeks. To kick things off, let’s go local

Nestled in a picture perfect bay, and surrounded by majestic mountains, it doesn’t take long to figure out why Queenstown is the adventure capital of New Zealand.

Mont Tremblant, a resort town north of Montreal, is well known as a popular winter destination. In addition to its majestic ski mountains, however, Mont Tremblant also has much to offer in the summer months.

Eventually, about 85 miles south of San Francisco, there’s a little town tucked neatly into the seaside. Every corner of Carmel exudes what a glamourous (and amorous) getaway should be. It's no wonder the A-List pop up here; Clint Eastwood is the mayor, after all

With the centennial Stampede just around the corner, you're probably already in a Western mood just counting down the last few days of work before the festivities begin. Book an escape to the Cowboy Trail with a few friends to complete the experience
