When people say Puglia, most of us think of trulli, the white stone huts with cone-like roofs in small inland towns which crowd social feeds, but cycle around Salento (Italy’s heel) and it’s all beach club vibes.

This is a taste of day one of our self-guided cycle with UTracks Travel from Lecce to Gallipoli, taking in a quieter side of Puglia.

We covered 55km in 32+ degree heat, but with views like this, you’ll be taking plenty of time to stop.

Our favourite spot on this leg: Santa Caterina which is perched over the sparking Ionian Sea and don’t miss a wander around the Old Town in Lecce 🙌🇮🇹❤️.

Stay tuned for the second leg - Gallipoli to Leuca.

📍Lord Howe Island, NSW, Australia

My time at Lord Howe felt like a tropical time capsule of untouched nature, and with Islands recognition as Australia’s premier walking destination, I got to fully immerse in the the most idyllic hiking experience, from casual stroll along the pristine beach, taking cliff-top walks to see its famous twin peaks and unique wildlife, or heading to the cloud forest and the world’s southernmost coral reef.

My favourite was the Mt Gower hike, a steep terrain with rope-assisted climbs, accompanied by currawongs and the island’s common wood hens. And, most importantly, along the trails you learn about the island’s history, local stewardship, and the island’s commitment to sustainability and innovation while respecting local knowledge and roots.

Learn more about my perfect island getaway experience, 5 days 6 nights with @pinetreeslodge @greatwalksofoz for @stufftravelnz @nzstuff

Lord Howe Island is a pristine, crescent-shaped volcanic remnant of Australia in the Tasman Sea, renowned for its unique biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and the world’s southernmost coral reef. Situated just 600km east of Port Macquarie, this UNESCO World Heritage site is an exclusive destination that restricts visitor numbers to 400 at a time, providing an unmatched experience for hiking, diving, and spotting endemic wildlife.
