Everyone has a wish list of destinations to tick off, but these days, travel isn’t simply about the choice of location. Real adventures are shaped by experiences – encountering local people, grappling with tricky terrain and witnessing once-in-a-lifetime events.

There are two types of museum worth visiting: Those filled with curiosities, and those that are a curiosity themselves.

It is perhaps with this in mind that British pub chain JD Wetherspoon is opening a museum in Wolverhampton, as part of a £7 million development project that will also spawn a 70-room hotel.

Last week a Christian missionary, John Allen Chau, was killed by Sentinelese tribesmen on North Sentinel Island in the Andaman and Nicobar archipelago, apparently while attempting to approach these remote and little-understood people.

Access to North Sentinel Island is heavily embargoed, primarily in order to prevent the transmission of disease to the Sentinelese, who sometimes violently refuse any form of contact with the outside world.
