For 30 issues we've traversed across wild landscapes, pushed boundaries and inspired travellers to go beyond well-trodden tourists paths. We've kayaked across Swedish archipelagoes, rode through the desert on horseback and salsa danced through the cobbled streets of Cartagena.
We've met orangutans and monks, been chased by a pack of Romanian wild dogs and munched through Michelin-worthy hotdogs at the edge of the world. In the spirit of armchair adventure, we've trawled through our epic back catalogue to bring you our favourite SUITCASE photographs of all time.

Still lakes, deep gorges and towering mountains were a part of India that felt unfamiliar to Indian-born chef Romy Gill. For our Homelands issue, she travelled to Ladakh and navigated the highs and lows of being a tourist.

As heart-wrenchingly romantic as Paris or Rome, Cartagena is Colombia's vivacious Caribbean jewel. Steeped in history amid stories of battles and victory, its colourful colonial architecture and the expressive population live to tell centuries-old tales.
