Shit Trips

Jill Starley-Grainger and Alessia Horwich

Travel journalists Jill Starley-Grainger and Alessia Horwich share tales of the world's most overhyped sights. Unlike normal tourists, we have to visit every corner of a destination, and trust us - it's not all roses. We peek behind the postcard views and dish the dirt on the places you shouldn't bother with (and tell you about a few you really should). We've been - so you don't have to.
