  • South-east Asia: More than Bintang singlets and cheap-as-chips street food, you'll find a new experience around every corner from secluded lagoons, jungle trekking, full-moon parties to everything in between.
  • South America: Bucket list bliss awaits here with some big hitters to visit including Machu Picchu, Iguazu Falls, Rio Carnival and the Galapagos Islands.
  • Canada and the US: A road trip through these two countries should be the top of your list. From sprawling National Parks to big buzzing cities, you can fill a whole year of travel here and not cover every corner.
