{"product_id":"secret-trips-summer-2026","title":"Secret Trips, Summer 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003eSecret Trips, Summer 2026, Coming home\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFootball is universally known as the beautiful game. Live matches are perhaps the only time that you will see older (male) relatives openly weep when their team wins or has victory cruelly snatched from their hands. Usually, if it’s England, through a nail-biting penalty shootout. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven if you have little interest in football and can’t get your head around the offside rule, it is the world game and can essentially be played by anyone with access to a ball and jumpers for goalposts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand though, modern football is a multi-billion-dollar industry. One that is only growing with international interest and investment. The FIFA World Cup 2026 is here, and this year’s event is certainly one of the most significant of recent years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 48 teams taking part across 104 matches, all eyes will be on the US, Canada and Mexico, which is why these countries take centre stage in this issue. But this is the Secret\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrips approach to the World Cup. So, alongside travel guides to major host cities, you’ll also find several niche takes. They include Canadian Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski channelling James Dean on a day out in Manhattan, the most spectacular design hotels  \u003cbr\u003ein Mexico, and a US photo diary from Jane Hilton. The renowned British image maker – whose Instagram profile reads “photographer, filmmaker, cowgirl…” – has spent years road-tripping across the States capturing those living on the fringes of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrag queens, sex workers and solitary cowboys – hers is a vision of the American Dream that is at once recognisable and startling in its candour.  From wild open plains to glitzy Las Vegas wedding chapels, what lies beneath the surface can often be raw and imperfect – and that’s where true beauty reveals itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, enjoy the issue and the spirit of the beautiful game. Yes, it may only be a game, but as Ronaldo once said: ‘Football is great because you always have another opportunity to change history’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutique Galleria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57909985149192,"sku":"SECRETTRIPSSS26C1","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/2064\/5640\/files\/secret-trips-summer-2026-8982261.jpg?v=1780121110","url":"https:\/\/boutiquegalleria.com\/products\/secret-trips-summer-2026","provider":"Boutique Galleria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
