Completing 52 UK adventures within 52 weeks - and welcoming their first-born along the way - Charlie and Jess have turned their passion project into a lifestyle that everyone wants a piece of. The couple have redefined the parameters of adventure, emphasising that you don’t have to embark on a journey to a faraway destination to feel the thrill of discovery. 

Leaning on relationships built with locals, Charlie and Jess immersed themselves into the culture of whichever spot they chose to visit and strived for an authentic, sustainable experience to write home about. 

Now with 32.5K followers on Instagram, the travelling twosome have ignited the movement of “achievable adventure” and rediscovered the UK in a brand new - and beautiful - light.

Our travel editors also share their go-to guide to Iwate, an under-the-radar prefecture filled with blissful beaches, snow-sure mountains and soothing hot springs, and deep-dive into how wellness is key to unlocking Japanese culture.

Our Go-to Guide to Iwate, Japan

To stay:

For relaxing hot springs and beautifully situated boltholes, bed down in one of these hotels: Hotel Senshūkaku, Hotel Hanamaki or Hotel Kōyōkan. 

To eat:

For the noodle-lovers out there, we recommend heading full-steam ahead to Pairon Honten in Morioka – a local hole-in-the-wall loved for what is arguably the region’s best jajamen (udon noodles topped with cucumbers, garlic, chilli oil and a sweet miso sauce).

To do:

Sun-seekers should absolutely head to Jodogahama Beach, while skiers should make a beeline for Appi Kogen Ski Resort. 

How to get there:

Simply hop on a fast train from Tokyo and in just over two hours you’ll be greeted by the epic scenery and standout food of Iwate.
