Happy 50th Birthday to the Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine. To mark such a milestone Gourmet Traveller has launched a special anniversary edition. Included in this monumental edition is 50 travel experiences on Gourmet Travellers Birthday Wish list. Showcasing a global degustation of incredible and unique travel experiences for any discerning traveller.
Here are a few of my favourite picks:
LUXURY TRAIN JOURNEY - SOUTH AMERICA
For those of you who enjoy a luxury train journey, hop on board Belmond’s Andean Explorer, to make its debut next year. This will be South Americas first luxury sleeper train, which will weave its way through the high altitudes between Cusco and Lake Titcaca in Peru.
