Our top 10 Trips

Vietnam Highlights
Bikes, banh mi’s and balmy nights – just a few of the reasons we heart Vietnam. This all-time crowd fave will have you pedaling around Hoi An, cruising down the Mekong, bargaining at Hue’s Dong Ba market and sinking your pearly whites into the best cuisine in the world (come on, you can’t argue with us on that one). Good morning, good afternoon and good evening Vietnam!

Peru Highlights
Just a warning: visit the Land of the Incas and you may be compelled to shout ‘Viva Peru!’ from a mountain like a South American Julie Andrews. With big-name stars like Lake Titicaca (floating islands!), the Amazon (caimans!) and Machu Picchu (no words needed!) on the line-up, it’s no surprise Peru is blockbuster hit. It’s equal parts scenery, history, culture and Pisco Sours.

The Road to Delhi
Indiaahh. It’s nothing you expect and more. We run a bunch of trips to Ghandi’s homeland, but this one takes the gulab jamun for most beloved. Why? Because it goes through some of India’s most awesome cities – Varanasi, Delhi and Jaipur – and makes a stop, of course, at the mind-bending Taj Mahal. Oh, did we mention that Nepal makes an appearance too, in the form of tiger-spotting in Chitwan National Park? Bet you’re feeling the wanderlust now.

Essential Central America
Forget cronuts and aerial yoga – Central America is what’s hot. Cheap, colourful and crazy beautiful, this corn-pocket of the world has all the best stuffings: beaches, jungles, volcanoes, toucans, Maya ruins and chilli – on everything. We’ve taken the best parts of Mexico, Guatemala and Belize and strung ‘em together like beads on a necklace for a rollicking goodtimes adventure. *Crowd goes wild

Essential Cambodia
Tuk tuk. Who’s there? Cambodia! Okay, Cambodia’s no houseguest, but if she were she’d be welcomed through our door anytime. This Southeast Asian hotspot is packed with temples, beaches and some of the warmest locals around. Want to share a meal with a Khmer family in Chambok, island-hop in Sihanoukville, and (respectfully) run amok at Angkor Wat? Yeah you do.

Vintage Cuba
If there’s ever been a time to visit Cuba, it’s now. This enigmatic island is finally opening its doors to US trade, and things are changing, like, really fast. Maybe that’s a good thing, but if you wanna see the Cuba of vintage posters – old-worldy cars, horse-drawn carts, smoky rum haunts – or you actually like the thought of having no interwebz for a week, go. Go now, muchacho.

Essential Morocco
Take a tagine, stir in some sweet mountain vistas, chuck in a Sahara sunset and voila! That’s Morocco. If you’re the type of traveller who likes to experience a really different way of life, Morocco has your name on it. While Marrakech and Tangier are modernising fast, just an hour out of town you’ll meet Berber nomads herding sheep along ancient trails. Plus, the best orange juice in the world? It’s found right here, ladies and gentlemens.

Super South Thailand
Okay, so this one’s been a regular on (cocktail) bucket lists for a while. But there’s a lot more to Thailand – gasp! – than Bangkok bars and full moon debauchery. Waterfalls, jungles, lagoons... South Thailand is the stuff of tropical dreams (and you should never deny yourself your tropical dreams). And what better way to explore this beautiful part of the world than by snorkeling, sunbaking, kayaking and hiking all over it?

Discover Japan
Something’s happening, guys. Nobody will shut up about Japan. Whether they’re fan-girling over a cutting-edge art exhibit in Kyoto or drooling over the thought of non-stop ramen, people are going nuts for the land of robot cafes and Hello Kitty. And our Discover Japan trip is right up there at the top of the J-Pops. Prepare yourself for an onsen-soaking, sake-sipping, karaoke-belting adventure.

Everest Base Camp
Jaunty snow hat, scarf of prayer flags, temples for buttons…if winter is coming, the Himalayas are well prepared. But seriously, there’s nothing cute about Mt Everest. Nepal is where Mother Nature pulls out ALL the stops, and a trek to Base Camp is where you’ll make your most epic memories (and pics). Plus, by visiting Nepal, you’re sinking money into an economy that badly needs it. Win-win.
