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!

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!

Vietnam’s capital and popular jumping off point is home to a beautiful Old Quarter, a thriving expat community, and a lively nightlife scene. We obviously scoped out the best digs.

The rural towns of Kampot and Kep lay along the coast just 3 hours outside of Phnom Penh. Relax on a river cruise, wander a seaside market, hike in the clouds, enjoy some community cuisine, or even tour a pepper farm!

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.

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.
