Another year draws to a close, and it leaves behind a stellar list of destinations that The Independent’s travel desk have visited.

As you might expect, there’s some incredible diversity in our top picks. Most far-flung from the London office is Hawaii, some 7,000 miles and 10 time zones away; closer to home, we’ve enjoyed popping over to Europe for island escapes and city breaks. Some of the places we’ve made it to have been off the usual tourist track, while sometimes we’ve been back to ever-popular locations to get reacquainted.
