As Sydneysiders, we’re well aware of the trials and tribulations that come with living in our city – excruciating house prices being just one of them. But all things considered, we think spending time in Sydney is pretty good, and are generally happy to proclaim that we feel relatively safe wandering the (mostly) sun-kissed streets. But what about visitors whose home base is one of our city’s hotels, and for whom Bondi Beach is the only known stretch of sand? Well, they're in safe hands too – as our city has been dubbed one of the top ten safest in the world for tourists.

I’m from Sydney, and one of my favourite things about Melbourne is the way the city has preserved its heritage architecture and old-world charm. The Hilton Melbourne Little Queen Street exemplifies this. The Hilton has taken a heritage building that was formerly the Melbourne Equity Chambers, built in 1931, and turned it into a new hotel with mod cons, but maintained its divine Italian Romanesque and Gothic architectural detailing.

Italy is indeed a beautiful country. From its islands that don't get enough attention to the epic hikes on the active volcano of Mt. Etna, it's a diverse and dynamic combination of land and sea. Although visitors can traverse the Dolomites in the north or maneuver through popular stops along the Amalfi Coast, many first time visitors use Rome as a home base, which is a solid plan. However, once you've followed all the rules at the Trevi Fountain and stood where gladiators battled at the Colosseum, you might be looking for a smaller, more local vibe. Fortunately, there's an alternative nearby that's off the radar for most tourists. It's called Molise, and it's the second smallest region in the country.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Though its capital, Mexico City, is one of the world’s best for culture and cuisine, and the sprawl of Guadalajara represents some of the country’s richest arts and architectural offerings, Mexico’s true charm is best experienced within its small towns. Visit the golden town of Izamal, a tucked-away Maya fortress covered by a Spanish monastery and hidden within the Yucatán Peninsula’s dense jungle canopy. And then there's the diminutive mountain town of Tepoztlán, where the Central Valley’s vast history of Aztec mysticism comes alive. There are so many towns that prove a world of culture awaits in Mexico’s under-the-radar destinations. Wherever you go, natural wonders, intimate eateries, and boutique accommodations await – as do local guides in each destination who are there to show you how to explore their homes responsibly.
