- Bucket List Trips -
Saca de las Yeguas is an incredible and ancient event you truly have to see to believe. For horse lovers traveling southern Spain, this is a must! 🐎
In September of 1944, a fleet of Japanese war ships were hit and sunk around Coron, the Philippines. Today, the ships remain underwater as some of the best wreck dive sites in the world.
These are all the reasons why Sri Lanka needs to be your next bucket list destination. We mapped out the iconic train ride to Kandy, the country’s most amazing photo ops, and best of all, how to make authentic Sri Lankan curry!
No place screams TROPICAL VACATION quite like the Philippines. We island hopped around Coron and El Nido on the island of Palawan for 10 days and came away tan, tired, and completely blissed out.
We spent an unforgettable week surrounded by elephants, buffalo, dogs, cats, and more at Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Check out more about our volunteer experience here!
Vang Vieng is a backpackers playground: lazy boozy rivers, hidden jungle lagoons, and hot air ballooning is all we’re gonna say for now.
Southeast Asian markets tested our shopping resolve in many, many ways. Whether it was snake liquor in Laos, pearls in Bangkok, or street food in Cambodia - these six unique markets stole our hearts and our money and we aren’t even a little mad about it.
Often overlooked by backpackers on their route through Vietnam, Da Lat really is must-stop location in the southern half of your itinerary. If you’re brave enough, get ready to strap on your helmet and harness your ropes for an epic adventure.
Bali, Bali, Bali. Countless things to see and do! From expat region of Seminyak and Canggu, to the rural peaks of Mount Batur, there are so many cool places to escape to on Indonesia’s popular island getaway.
Komodo National Park was a high item on the bucket list for us, and we were not disappointed! Hiking with the epic Komodo dragons, cruising the Komodo marine park, AND diving with manta rays? Three thumbs up.
Sydney is craaaazy at New Years. But those fireworks over the harbour are just electric. Here are our tips about how to make the most of knocking the Aussie New Years of the bucket list.
Bubblegum and cotton candy. In lake form. Of course we found it. And we took lots of pictures.
At the very end of the South Island lays a beautiful wild expanse of sea and mountains. Cruising New Zealand’s Fiordlands rings in as an all-time favorite experience for us.
