Across the Sea of Time, a fourth dimension adventure

Book cover for time travel thriller

The book features an airplane-based time machine travelling back to 1939, where it's hijacker kills Hitler and changes the future. I based the style on classic techno thrillers such as Michael Crichton or Tom Clancy. The red stripes suggest Nazi party flags at the top without showing swastikas, and the ghosted red shapes are rallying soldiers. The stripes unify the design elements and lead the eye down the page. The plan was from stock art, all other elements drawn by me. There was no final blurb so I added the above based on competition details. I wanted the back cover to be as pacy and punchy as the front, to keep reader's interest so they take the book to the till and buy it.

If you could time travel anywhere and have zero consequences, what would you do? Noelle McAllister inherited her mother’s ability to time travel, but she didn’t inherit the side effects. She can visit anywhere in the past or future as easily as a snap of the fingers, and there’s only one thing keeping her feet in her current time—her mother’s warnings of what could happen. But she is not her mother. Just a few trips through time won’t hurt. She can fix a few minor details and no one will know the difference. But, when a mysterious man from Hannah’s past come to ask for a simple favor, Noelle’s curiosity wins, setting in motion events that complicate her entire life. With medical school and her mother’s expectations shadowing her, maybe she can vacation for a few hours somewhere Hannah will never follow—the past. FOREVER is book 7 in the YESTERDAY series.

Book - THE TIME TRAVELERS

A book about time travel

Time travel, danger, love, and one final secret… Heartbroken, Noelle McAllister returns to her present time determined to prove everyone wrong. If God hadn’t wanted her to use her time traveling ability, He wouldn’t have given it to her. Instead of listening to her mom preach about the risks of time travel, she decides to use it to help others. She determines to show her parents Maddie, and Daniel that she is a good person and has been right all along. But it’s hard to go unnoticed when changing events in the past, especially when Hannah’s enemies from decades past are still watching. Noelle and Hannah’s worlds collide with devastating consequences. Their choices of today, hope of tomorrow, and promise of forever will all be defined by one final secret from Yesterday. THE SECRET is book 8 in the YESTERDAY series.

Cover design for scifi story

Design a Gorgeous, Eye-catching and Daring SciFi/Fantasy/Time Travel Book Cover!

Design needs: The background of the cover should have three settings--one underwater with a scary looking shark, another in the ancient Egyptian desert with the Sphynx, and the third in London (with Big Ben). There should be a boy standing who has a shining/glowing silver infinity pendant necklace. Font should be dramatic, sci-fi and clear to read. There should be a time motif throughout, as the book is about time travel. The title should be heavily stylized like the Percy Jackson/Magnus Chase series. I appreciate attention to detail. Should look like an oil painting. ***HENRY, THE PROTAGONIST, HAS HETEROCHROMATIC EYES - ONE EYE IS BLUE, THE OTHER IS GREEN.***

Solving the mystery could cost all the time she has left. Hannah suddenly finds that she has time travelled once again, but this time is different. After helping save a woman's life, Hannah discovers that she has completely altered the timeline and thrown her very existence into jeopardy. Facing life-threatening effects upon returning to her own time, Hannah is then given a death sentence: if she time travels again, she will die. Now, Hannah must solve the clues to her own identity and find a way to save her own life before she is once again sent spiraling through time. Will her mother's locket hold the key to both her past and her future? Has she just found the love of her life only to lose him? Could God have a plan for Hannah amidst the chaos? THE LOCKET is Book Two in the YESTERDAY SERIES.

The secrets of yesterday come to haunt Hannah's life today. Hannah was supposed to get married. She was supposed to live happily ever after. And she was definitely NOT supposed to ever time travel again. But when Hannah’s fairy tale turns into a nightmare, she discovers seemingly random events in the past have a deadly reality for the man she loves. She now must use what she learned to protect him from pursuing a path that would cost him his life. But certain secrets may cause irreparable damage. When tragedy strikes, will Hannah be able to face today with no happily ever after in sight? TODAY is Book Three in the YESTERDAY SERIES

The Promise

THE PROMISE is book 6 in the YESTERDAY series.

Captivating novel for futuristic YA Time Travel Thriller Wanted!!

Book cover for novel

I listen to my client and I think about the wants of their target audience. A good book cover is like any good advert, it should make you HAVE TO pick it up. I feel the key to any design is understanding what the audience wants, a book cover should go beyond showing a scene from the book, it should convey the essence of the story in a dramatic, emotional and aesthectically pleasing way that says, "Hey! Read Me! I'm what you're looking for."

Simple Time Travel Scifi Cover Design

Timeworm is a YA scifi novel about time travel and Nazi Germany. The publisher wanted to convey these elements without characters, and asked for muted colors in blues, blacks, and winter hues. As always, I went for a less literal depiction, but this time decided to go for a more minimalist style. The title treatment plus the graphics offer a glimpse into the story, while staying away from time travel and Nazi-themed cliches.

The concept incorporates the author's vision with the symbol element of the story - a time travel device. The suggested connection between modern and ancient times offer a powerful feeling of mystery.

Time travel story book cover

This design shows the relationship between the main character in the past and present, and represents the dilemma she is facing as shown in the duality of silhouettes. I represented time with the inverted sublte Big Ben clock, it flows into the lights of the city and then the lights up the girl, which becomes the quantum time travelling energy where she finds herself in Florence. I kept the design interesting and symbolic but subtle. I used a Future style font for the title and a Script font for the name, to show this duality in different times.

Design an Authentically Vintage Travel Poster

WHAT WE’RE CREATING:

Hey Design Cutters, Simon here!

Today I’m really excited to show you how to use your new vintage resources, to create an authentic old time travel poster. We’ll be looking at plenty of fun techniques, from extracting vintage objects from their backgrounds, to applying tons of grungy textures, and bringing your entire piece together.

Let’s get started shall we?

AN EXTENSIVE LIBRARY OF REAL VINTAGE ELEMENTS

What’s interesting with Design Cuts’ latest bundle is that it’s filled with REAL vintage assets. These are not just elements that were drawn or created to look vintage, they’re the real deal. So we’re talking about stuff that was created, and released before the turn of the last century. That means that we can make use of all the artifacts that come along with that: not so precise printing, aged paper textures, 100+ year-old wear and tear, etc.

While this is great, one of the biggest challenges we’ll face when using these resources will be to extract just the element we want for our piece. Don’t be afraid, there’s a technique for that. Other than that, we’ll have loads of fun with textures, type, and all the rest.

BEFORE WE GET STARTED

Before we get started, I need you to grab a very helpful set of Photoshop actions . They were created by the good folks at Media Militia, and are free.

These actions allow to quickly and efficiently remove the white background of some of the assets we’ll use for our composition. Will just a bit of careful masking, the use of the level palette, and this actions, you’ll be able to extract just that one element you’d like to use in your piece. They are a set of very useful tools.

Consider reading the accompanying post , as it contains background information on what the actions leverage to work, and on how to install them.

Once you have the actions set up, we’ll be ready to get started!

STEP 1: CONCEPTUALIZATION

In my case, a complex piece always starts the same way: with pens and a piece of paper.

Using analog tools to quickly create generate ideas allows me to come up with so many more concepts than just dabbling with tools in Photoshop. I highly recommend doing this versus diving straight onto the computer. And I’m not the only one, there has been plenty of literature on the subject ( #1 , #2 , and #3 ).

After 15 to 45 minutes of browsing the bundle’s content and brainstorming, I came up with 8 primary ideas.

Today, we’ll focus on this one. It’s a poster inspired by some of the travel-oriented assets found in the bundle: globes, maps, and trunk.

The primary assets we’ll use

Here’s a quick rundown of the main assets we’ll use for the poster.

1. This vintage envelope, for its cool postage stamp

2. This XIXth century map of Kirviller, a French village in north-eastern France

3. This old engraving of a travel trunk

4. These engravings of old globes

5. These engravings of an colonial hat, and of binoculars

STEP 2: COLORS

We should talk about the color scheme of our future poster now. In order to get a convincing retro feel for our piece, we’ll grab our colors straight from the source. The bundle features a collection of matchbox tops, and adult beverages labels. It’s time to get the eyedropper tool out, and to sample colors away!

Printing techniques weren’t as diverse as today, or as accurate as today, over a hundred years ago. Printing wasn’t a commodity the way it is now either. This explains why we typically see old labels featuring less colors than today: it was cheaper, faster, and presented less opportunities for a misshape. The artists had to be quite creative to convey often times complex compositions with a reduced array of colors.

I went through both packs of labels, and selected a few. I created my color palette from there, sampling colors that faded because of real exposure, and not thanks to a vintage filter.

We’ll use the first color scheme. Our piece will have a light background, so the textures can shine through our tan color ( #cfbc97 ), with dark iconography (off-black – #2f302d ), and with a bright highlight color (faded red – #c13d34 ).

STEP 3: PREPARING THE ASSETS

Now that we know our general layout, and how our colors are going to flow, we can start preparing our assets for the piece. This is the step in which we’ll extract the various elements we want to use in the piece from their white background.

The postage stamp will be the most demanding of all. This is because it isn’t passed on to use on a white background.

Start by opening up the envelope’s file ( AirMailEnvelopes_12953_piddix.jpg ).

Select the stamp.

Crop the image ( Image > Crop ).

Convert the locked background layer to an independent layer by double-clicking on it. Use a hue/saturation adjustment layer to desaturate the image.

Finally, use a levels adjustment layer to “wash out” the paper texture behind the stamp.

Once that’s done, save this file in a safe place – we might use it again later. I created a Piece assets folder in which I’m placing all of source assets to have them at hand while I’m designing. Save also a flattened copy of the leveled stamp for our next step. The format doesn’t matter (JPG or PNG), as long as the image properly flattened.

Once you have the flattened image ready, open it.

The next step is to run one of Media Militia’s actions. I personally like White BG Removal – Maximum Opacity the most, as it offers a good ratio between background removal and opacity left to the elements that are kept.

Once the action has run its course, we’re left with our element on a transparent background. Victory!

Save the cropped, and isolated stamp as a PNG in your assets folder.

One more version we need to save of that stamp is one featuring only the ring of the stamp.

From there, simply repeat the background removal process on the other assets (trunk, globes, hat, and binoculars). Save the result as transparent PNGs in that asset folder. I’d suggest to start from the white background version of the asset, as you won’t have to fiddle with levels.

Now that we have all of our assets ready, we should probably get started, like, for real.

STEP 4: DOCUMENT SETUP

I’m working with an 18″x24″ canvas, at 300 dpi (RGB).

I’ve placed a few guides for reference. I’m marking the center of the canvas, a border at 1″ from the edges, and another one at 2″ from the edges.

STEP 5: THE BACKGROUND

Start by filling the background with our tan color ( #cfbc97 ).

Next, locate our map ( po_20140825_130507.jpg ) in \Authentic-Vintage-Magic-tees\Vintage Texture Pack4 .

Place it in your document. Don’t forget to keep it as a smart object, as we’ll try ot keep a workflow as non-destructive as possible.

Desaturate it with a clipped hue/saturation adjustment layer .

Adjust its contrast thanks to a clipped levels adjustment layer .

Change its blending mode to Color burn @ 75% opacity .

Finally, we’re going to erase some of the map’s markings at the bottom right corner.

Add a layer mask to the map layer, and paint the spots away. Don’t worry about erasing the map’s grid, as we’ll place another element in there later that will camouflage that removal.

Our background is now ready. Don’t forget to organize your layers properly.

STEP 6: PLACING THE ELEMENTS

It’s time to place our main elements in the frame. Let’s have another look at the sketch I made.

The center of the piece is occupied by the travel trunk, and by the postage stamp. The other travel icons (globes, hat, and binoculars) are located at the corners.

Let’s start by placing the trunk. I’m making it roughly 14″ wide.

Next, add the isolated stamp. It should cover the trunk, and be slightly wider than it.

Next, we’ll be placing the various corner icons. I’m using the grid of the map to place them, rather than the grid I created with the guides. Size wise, I’m trying to have each corner object to have the same visual importance.

Here’s a view with the guides, to get a sense of placement and proportions.

Organize you layers now, because it’s going to get more complicated soon.

Remember the version of the postal stamp we created that only contains the circle? It’s time to get it out of our asset folder. We’ll be enclosing each icon in its own circle. You can rotate the circle each time, so it doesn’t look the same for each icon. Don’t hesitate to use the layer alignment tools to facilitate the job ( Layer > Align and Layer > Distribute ).

It took me a good deal of time to adjust the circle size compared to the icons. There was actually some back and forth tweaking for the sizes of the icons, and of the circle.

And here’s a view of my layers.

STEP 7: ASSIGNING COLOR

This step is actually fairly simple. We’ll leverage the option to give a color overlay to layers.

Start by making the postage stamp red ( #c13d34 ). Double-click on the layer to bring up the blending options panel .

Next, let’s color the trunk with our off-black ( #2f302d ).

The contrast level between the red and the off-black isn’t very strong. To increase it, we’ll darken the trunk a little bit by changing its blending mode to Multiply . Because the color has been assigned to the object through a color overlay , we’ll need to go through a few additional steps.

Start by reducing the trunk layer’s Fill to 0 .

Next, head back to the layer blending options to set the color overlay’s blending mode to Multiply @ 100% opacity .

Next, we need to assign a red color overlay ( #c13d34 ) to the circles around our icons. Let’s start with the one around the hat.

The result looks nice, but the circle is a bit thin.

In order to fix this, we’ll simply give the circle a red stroke of a few pixels. I’m using 8 pixels .

The result is satisfying. From there, we’ll simply apply the same settings to the other circles. In order to do so very quickly, start by right-clicking on the layer of the circle you just edited. Select the Copy layer style option.

Then, select all the circle layers, right-click, and choose the Paste layer style option.

We just applied the color overlay and stroke effortlessly to the three remaining circles.

In a similar fashion, you can now quickly apply an off-black ( #2f302d ) overlay to all the icons.

With that done, it’s time to group each icon with its container. This will be helpful later.

STEP 8: TYPE

A poster wouldn’t be complete without some type. We’ll use the beautiful Governor font, from Lost Type Co-op .

The text we’ll include is Vintage travels . It’ll be split at the top and at the bottom of the poster. My type is set at 90 points . The placement of my type object isn’t final.

Next, we’ll give each type object a warp effect , in order to visually match the curvature of the postage stamp.

Highlight your Vintage type layer, and head to Type > Warp text . Choose Arc , with a 25% bend value .

Repeat the process for the Travels type object, but with a -25% bend value.

From there, you can tweak the placement of the type objects, to line them up with the icons nearby.

Time to organize things neatly.

The type elements look like they are floating in the canvas. In order to fix this, we’ll be adding some framing elements. The various frames available are often of a style that doesn’t match our piece. The solution? To grab ornaments from some of the more complex vintage labels, and cards at hand.

Track down 2LO Vintage Cabinet Card 10.jpeg from \Authentic-Vintage-2-Lil-Owls-Vintage-Other\Vintage Cabinet Cards . We’re going to grab one of curve ornaments that’s shown above the word “Gallery.”

I’d suggest to follow the same process that when isolating the postage stamp.

Once ready, place it twice in your document, to frame the word Vintage .

Don’t forget to give the ornaments an off-dark overlay. This will make them fit the piece better.

You can tweak the warp effect , and the rotation of the text layer to match the curvature of the ornament better as well.

Repeat the process to frame Travels .

And here are the layers so far.

Now, we can finally move to masking (grunge effects), and texturing!

STEP 9: MASKING ELEMENTS

We’ll be leveraging 2 Lil’ Owls dirty grunge textures for our masking, and weathering, effects. These textures might be lifted from old paper, their grain, stains, and tears will work wonders to fade and age our various design elements.

The technique we’ll use for our weathering is simple: we’ll paste the textures in layer masks attached to the various elements.

To paste a texture in a layer mask, simply ALT/OPTION+CLICK a layer mask to access its content. From there, you can do almost whatever you want: painting, erasing, copy and pasting… Make sure the element’s layer and its layer mask are unlinked, so you’ll be able to transform the layer and its layer mask independently from each other.

Let’s start with the icons and their respective circles. Start by adding an unlinked layer mask to each of the layer groups.

Next, open 2LO Dirty grunge 19.jpg . This is the texture we’ll use for each element. In order for the wear pattern to look organic, we’ll simply rotate it and/or resize it a bit each time.

Let’s start with the binoculars’ layer group. Copy the texture, and paste it in the layer mask.

Resize it to fit closer to our icon.

Make it a bit stronger by using the levels palette ( CTRL/CMD+L ).

Admire the result!

Repeat for each icon, simply rotating the texture by 90° each time to change the wear pattern on the icon. You could also copy and paste the layer mask’s content around.

If you look closer, each circle features some artifacts. That comes from the extraction process that was slightly imperfect.

Paint these away by adding a layer mask to the circles themselves.

The result of that speckle erasing makes the overall piece look cleaner.

Next, we’ll be masking the postage stamp. This will give it a vibe closer to a real stamp. We’ll use 2LO Dirty grunge 7.jpg for that.

Next, we need to weather the type elements. We’ll use 2LO Dirty grunge 2.jpg for that.

Start with Vintage . The process is the same.

Finally, we’re going to mask off Travels . I’m using the same layer mask content, rotated so that the wear pattern is different.

And here’s a view of all the layer masks we just added.

And now, let the fun begin.

STEP 10: TEXTURES!

Working with textures is not only fun, it’s also a very good way to unite the piece together. The various grains, stains, and other artifacts the textures will bring to the piece will unite all the disparate elements together visually.

Because we want to stick to our non-destructive workflow, we’ll always use adjustment layers to manipulate the textures. Let’s get to it.

locate po_20140901_205149.jpg from \Authentic-Vintage-Magic-tees\Postage Texture Pack1 . It’s a beautiful paper texture, with a very thick grain, and some faint stamps.

Place it to cover your whole canvas.

Use a clipped hue/saturation adjustment layer to desaturate the texture.

TWeak it using a levels adjustment layer .

Change its blending mode to Soft light @ 50% opacity .

The next texture is po_20140831_122519.jpg , from \Authentic-Vintage-Magic-tees\Postage Texture Pack5 .

Blending mode: Soft light @ 50% opacity .

The next texture is VictorianScrapbook_13061_piddix.jpg . You’ll find it in \Authentic-Vintage-Piddix-Other-Vintage\VictorianScrapbook_piddix\VictorianScrapbook_CoverAndBacks_piddix .

Next is po_20140825_103933.jpg . You’ll find it in \Authentic-Vintage-Magic-tees\Postage Texture Pack5 . This one will give us some nice fake folds.

Blending mode: Color burn @ 100% opacity .

The final texture is the mother of all water stain textures. It’s called 2LO Dirty grunge 2 – 21.jpg , and you’ll find it in \Authentic-Vintage-2-Lil-Dirty-Grunge-Textures\Dirty Grunge 2 .

Blending mode: Soft light @ 100% opacity .

Let’s look at our layers.

We’re almost there!

STEP 11: THE FINISHING TOUCH

Before we can call it a day, we need to add one thing: a halftone effect. This will allow us to emulate some of the feel of that old style printing.

Start by creating a merged copy of all visible layers ( CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+ALT/OPTION+E ). I renamed that layer Halftones .

Transform that layer into a smart object ( Filter > Convert for smart filters on Photoshop CC).

We’ll apply a halftone effect from the Filter gallery ( Filters > Filter gallery > Sketch > Halftone pattern ). I’m using values of 8 for the dot size , and 25 for contrast .

Next, we need to change the effect’s blending mode. Double-click on this symbol in the layer palette.

Change the blending mode to Soft light @ 100% opacity .

Finally, change the layer’s blending mode to Lighter color @ 35% opacity .

And we’re finally done with our poster!

Inspiring Travel Posters for Wanderers

• BY Bogdan Sandu
• 1 September 2023

Imagine unraveling a parcel, your anticipation bubbling over. You unroll a canvas to reveal… a window to another world.  Travel posters  do precisely that; they whisk us away on a visual journey, tempting the wanderlust brewing deep within. Like a silent storyteller, each poster spins a yarn of far-off lands or iconic cities.

Here, in this patchwork of color and inspiration, we delve into the tapestry that weaves together vintage charm with contemporary design, a narrative where every fold marks a new adventure.

This exploration isn’t just a nod to the travel-hungry soul; it’s about appreciating this art form’s resilience and how its transformation mirrors our world’s constant motion.

By journey’s end , prepare to be versed in the allure of these wall-bound voyages—from museum-quality reproductions to minimalist art—and the impact they stamp on our quest for beauty and connection.

The course ahead brims with insights into the celebrated eras, the cultural phenomena behind these prints, and tips for collectors and décor aficionados alike. Strap in, we’re about to take off.

These Vintage Travel Posters Will Make You Want to Time-Travel

Historically, poster design has been one of the most ubiquitous forms of design anyone could find in the wild. While that might be changing (here’s looking at you, UI/UX ), there’s no denying the power of a classic travel poster to make you dream of far-off lands (especially at the peak of summer travel).

That being said, these vintage travel posters might make designers wish they could travel back to a time when large swathes of screen printed color adorned train stations, restaurants, and street corners everywhere.

9 awesome A Wrinkle In Time inspired activities and crafts for kids

Are you looking for awesome A Wrinkle in Time inspired activities and crafts to try at home? Any kid will want to learn more about the science and speculation of time travel with activities such as slime, creating your own Wrinkle In Time fortune teller, making a tesseract model, painting an IT, and more. Great for homeschool projects, parties, and for entertaining kids before and after they enjoy the new A Wrinkle In Time movie coming out this week.

The movie is based on Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 young adult novel “A Wrinkle in Time” that examines the nature of darkness versus light, good versus evil and, ultimately, the triumph of love. The novel covers theories such as tessering, or a wrinkling of time and space through which intergalactic travel is possible, and deals with the what-ifs of time travel and the structure in all life. The book spawned four additional books featuring the same characters known as L’Engle’s Time Quintet, and a recent graphic novel {seen above}.

9 great A Wrinkle in Time inspired activities and crafts inspired by the movie “Some things have to be believed to be seen.” ― Madeleine L’Engle

Since I’m in charge of entertaining large groups of children on the regular, I’ve been thinking of some awesome A Wrinkle In Time learning we can do, both in and out of the classroom. I came up with this list of ideas that would make any kid want to learn more about the science and speculation of time travel.

• Color A Wrinkle In Time. Check out these awesome coloring pages that can help keep even the littlest fans busy. Have them label the characters and the places as a learning opportunity or you can just let them create.

Time Out’s 11 Underrated Summer Travel Ideas in Europe for 2024

The best, unexpected things to do and places to visit from Portugal’s inland beaches and art trails in Provence to being a shepherd for a week

Today Time Out releases its list of Underrated Summer Travel Ideas in Europe for 2024 , the perfect inspiration for those looking to plan an unusual yet unforgettable break this summer.

Time Out , the global brand that inspires and enables people to experience the best of the city, has compiled the list to inspire travellers to Europe to experience the very best things to do, whether that’s a unique twist on a beach break, an activity-packed adventure or a cultural escape.

The list spans the whole continent and features trips including once-in-a-lifetime opportunities and hidden destinations which travellers will want to revisit again and again. 

Those looking to escape crowded beaches are encouraged to head inland to the warm water and wild nature at a Portuguese river beach aka a praias fluviais. Those seeking the ultimate relaxation should head to the island of Saaremaa which is one of Estonia’s best kept secrets – home to the old town of Kuressaare offering the highest number of spas per capita in the world.

For foodies, what could be more chilled out than an ice cream crawl in Copenhagen? Or for adrenaline junkies there’s a 2,000-mile mountain bike trail through the Balkans opening in July 2024 where cyclists can join and tap out along the route. For those who want to experience everything Scotland has to offer but don’t have buckets of time, there’s the North East 250, a condensed Aberdeenshire loop that offers the very best of the country’s castles, scenery, wildlife and whisky. And finally, mountain pastures await those choosing a weekend experiencing the daily life of Pyrenean shepherds.

Grace Beard, Time Out Travel Editor said: “We all like the idea of summertime in Europe – long, lazy days in the Mediterranean sunshine, whiling away an evening people-watching in local bars – but the reality is often much less romantic, with overtourism, soaring prices and scorching temperatures blighting many a Euro Summer fantasy. But it doesn’t have to be that way – as our list of the best things to do this summer shows, a great summer holiday in Europe can take on many forms, from hopping around river beaches to road trips and outdoor art trails.”

The full list of Time Out’s 11 most underrated summer travel ideas in Europe for 2024 - selected by Time Out’s network of local expert editors and writers - can be found here :

• Follow an outdoor art trail in the south of France 
• Relax on central Portugal’s inland beaches  
• Cycle the Balkans
• Spa away on Saaremaa island 
• Tour Berlin’s sunset spots
• Hike a web of trails in Greece’s new Sitia Geopark 
• Hunt for Albania’s Cold War bunkers
• Road trip Scotland’s North East 250 
• Go on a Copenhagen ice cream crawl
• Sail around Croatia’s lesser-known islands
• Be a shepherd for a week in the Pyrenees
