We asked our staff and friends in publishing to share some phrases that we 100 percent admit are way annoying (and that, yes, we do all fall back on during desperate times): “Nestled“! Especially at the beginning of a sentence. “Wanderlust” is an evil word — may it sink back into the earth. Also, the word “cerulean” to describe the color of water is ...

This luscious and green travel update follows on from The Cloud Forests of Ecuador We’re Cycling in the Air… Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I want to close your eyes and imagine two things for me. One, that you have the soundtrack from The Snowman playing in your head, ba-dooms and all. (We’re just going to cunningly switch the word walking to cycling.) And two, that you’re high atop the cloud forest, ready to launch off into the mist on a rickety, stickety looking tandem bicycle thing with a roof hook. Allow me to explain. ...
