  2. Darren Huston says that ten years from now, no paper work will be involved in the travel. “You’ll have no passport, no credit cards, no confirmation,” predicts the Amsterdam-based Canadian. "You just have to have your phone in your pocket, and if you lose it, everything will be in the cloud." Unless someone invites teleportation, however, we'll still have to fly – something Darren Huston doesn't really do. But for now, this is the only way he can access all the local experiences he craves. "I like the odd taste and taste. I've eaten ants in Nairobi, frogs in Vietnam and a lot of weird things in China - I really enjoy it during travel. "

  3. Black book: Europe • Comfort food: “In Amsterdam, if I feel homesick, I go to the restaurant Red. They serve only 3 things: steak, Canadian lobster and wine.” • Local fave: “Outside of Amsterdam is a little city called Delft, which is where Vermeer did his paintings. Everything still looks like it did in the 1600s.” • Greek treat: “One place I just discovered and should have already known about is the Greek islands. Mario Restaurant in Naousa is super authentic and has a wonderful evening vibe. It’s Greek food and the Greek islands at their best.”

  4. Black book: Europe • Weekend getaway: "I like spontaneous travel. I used to be the kind of person with a kind of Let's Plan two months ago, but now I like to plan a week in advance. There are plenty of options within two hours of Amsterdam. At the end of a week, I told my family: ‘Why don’t we just go to Milan? I think the Expo’s on.’ We booked on a Thursday and ended up in Milan for two days. You have to be careful with flights, but in the world of hotels, prices sometimes go down at the last minute and you can get great deals if you’re not in high season.”

  5. Black book: Europe • Best base camp: “Darren Huston said, I love finding independent properties that have really high ratings and ones that are a little more local and attuned to the culture of the city they’re in. I recently stayed at Hotel Cubo in Ljubljana, Slovenia – its right in the center of town, and it was amazing. It’s the number one rated [booking.com] hotel in Ljubljana for good reason. Pre-technology, you would never have found places like this. You’d ask your travel agent, and they would have no idea. Technology now allows us to take a lot of good, calculated risks.” • Must-have tech: “I like to read good books and novels when I travel – almost always on a device. I have the newest iPad, but I wish they would take another crack at it and make it even lighter. It can still make my arms a little tired.

  6. Darren Huston’s "strange brew" travel habit “Darren Huston said as a Canadian, he love great beers. he especially like fruity-tasting beers like cherry, blueberry and blackberry. he don’t consider myself an expert; he just love exploring the dimensions of what’s out there.” Here are three of his global favourites: • Bavikhove, Belgium: De Brabandere’sPetrus Aged Red • South Burlington, Vt.: Magic Hat Brewing Company’s Not Quite Pale Ale Fruit Beer • Stamford, U.K.: Samuel Smith’s Organic Strawberry Fruit Beer
