A banjo pickin' girl can hope...

Turning to our culture section, @_Durdana and @kamranyousuf_ meet the embattled hoteliers of beautiful Kashmir, @LoisPryce argues that a new era of bluegrass can unite America, and @FeldmanSally reviews @netflix’s Nonnas, exploring the magic of grandmas' cooking...

On my new favourite mountains, for @GuardianTravel The Sierra de la Demanda in northern Spain - wild, empty and a little bit weird. Perfect for escaping the 21st century.

@JohnOSullivan36 Thank you so much!

My latest for @GuardianTravel A magical walk along Spain's Cabo de Gata coast - skinny-dipping, mountain-scrambling, and dodging sanctimonious hippies.

Friends, Persians, Londoners! 15/03/25- I'm speaking about my motorbike travels in Iran at this celebration of Nowruz - the Persian New Year. Come & find out why we should sack off our crappy January New Year and get with the far superior Persian version.

@garryscott7 I was very fortunate to go when I did (2013, 2014 and 2016) - it was a small window when relations were a little calmer. But the mood was already changing on my last trip in 2016, after Tr**p ripped up the nuclear deal. Terrible times for Iranians now, and for these travellers.
