A complete mix.

For work, well, it's mostly urban, as I'm visiting offices. Dull old offices. But there's always an opportunity - visiting the Nordics, you can jump on a bike and be out in some stunning countryside in half an hour, taking advantages of the early finishes and long evenings. I do miss my trips out there.

For personal travels, it's a mix. This year, I had my summer holidays in a wooden house on an island, but did visit the city from there as well. I stayed in a house in a hamlet in the Lake District. But I also stayed opposite some Roman city walls and am just now looking at some baby-friendly apartments in the middle of Paris (although we will be meeting some friends out in the suburbs).

I am lucky that the small town I live in has a very fast train link to London (30 minutes), and yet I can put my son on the front of my bike and be out in some lovely countryside in 5 minutes.

As a note, I very rarely do suburban travelling. But it does happen. Some Airbnbs I've had have been very suburban (and quite quirkily so - there was a fantastic one in Chicago, and a superbly odd one in Dublin). And, of course, there was the visit to "Ramsay Street" in Nunawading, for fans of Aussie Soaps...
