Stewart Island is located around 30 kilometres south of New Zealand’s South Island, separated by the Foveaux Strait. It is the country’s third‑largest island but has a very small permanent population, with most residents living in the township of Oban. More than 80 percent of the island is protected as a national park, making its undeveloped feel a key draw for visitors.

The Rakiura Track is one of New Zealand's nine Great Walks and the only one located on an offshore island. You follow a 32km loop through lowland forest and along the coast, staying close to sea level for most of the route. There are no steep climbs or technical sections, but the track demands steady walking over uneven and sometimes muddy ground.

From folk-filled forests to bass-thumping stadiums, music festivals in Australia are as wild and varied as the country itself.

AfroFuture takes place in December at El-Wak Stadium in Accra, and stepping into it is like entering a living collage of colour. Everywhere you look, something demands your attention.   Whether it’s a dancer with braids swinging to the beat, a food vendor handing out trays of jollof that taste smoky and spicy, or a designer proudly showing off pieces you’ve never seen before. Then a beat drops, an Afrobeats icon walks onto the stage, and the crowd goes wild.   Every year, AfroFuture curates a lineup that blends Afrobeats giants, rising stars, diaspora artists, and DJs who keep the music flowing long after midnight. It’s the kind of lineup that doesn’t just entertain; it sets the tone for what African music will sound and feel like in the year ahead. Artists come to AfroFuture not just to perform, but to experiment, collaborate, and debut new music.
