Africa is an exotic and diverse continent full of stunning sights and experiences, with something to suit all tastes. Your trip could be a sophisticated city break in Cape Town or Durban, an action-packed safari in the Masai Mara or the Serengeti, a luxurious beach escape on the tropical coasts of Tanzania and Mozambique, or even an island adventure to the Seychelles, Mauritius or Madagascar. Can’t decide? Combine city, beach, and safari in an epic grand tour of this spectacular continent.

Of course, Africa is a top destination for wildlife enthusiasts. You can find mountain gorillas in the forests of Rwanda, marvel at the wildebeest migration across Kenya and Tanzania, see the big five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinoceros & buffalo) on safari in South Africa and even spot humpback whales in the waters off the Cape. Whichever destination you choose, you will not be disappointed and wherever you choose to go, we can recommend amazing hotels and safari camps to suit every taste and budget.

Bangkok is the most visited place in the world, outnumbering Paris. For the third year running, Bangkok is the most popular city for international travelers, thanks in large part to its appealing mix of historical sites and modern hot spots.

Singapore has a building inspired by Star Wars! Yes, you read that right. ‘The Sand crawler,’ which was named after its on-screen counterpart, looks similarly ready to shudder across the sands of Tatooine in search of droids for scrap. Star Wars fans, what are you waiting for?

Malaysia has 40,934 miles (65,877 km) of the highway. This is more than Earth’s circumference of 24,901 miles (40,075 km).

Cambodia today is one of the very few countries in the world with a predominately young population. The country has a shocking past that happened not that long ago. During the four years of the Khmer Rouge’s rule around 2 million people were killed. Therefore, 63% of Cambodia’s population is under thirty.

Indonesia houses the World’s largest flower, Rafflesia Arnoldi, weighs up to 7kg (15 pounds) and only grows in the Island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Its petals grow to 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) long and 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

Myanmar people have their own sunscreen. It is called “thanaka” and it is supposed to protect their skin from sun rays and act as an anti-aging cosmetic paste.

Many know the Caribbean of picture-perfect views—all lush green hillsides, soft beaches, sunny skies, sun loungers, and poolside cocktails. But that is just the white-sandy surface of this region, where each island has something distinct to offer. On Dominica hiking is unmatched, notably its Boiling Lake, a flooded fumarole located in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, where you can traverse across the rim of an active volcano. The best island hopping is in the British Virgin Islands while Barbados is the action island, where the historic Garrison horse racing takes place year-round.

If you are looking to soak up some winter sun by a pool lounger and nothing more, then any island in the Caribbean will do—the hotels of St Barth are amongst some of the best in the world.

Connected geographically to North America and culturally to Mexico and South America, this isthmus of seven countries is a literal bridge between the two. In this subcontinent that floats between worlds, everything here is, in a word, diverse: the rain-forested volcanic landscape; the mestizo heritage of European and Native American roots; the variety of foods that springs from fertile ground.

So, will your lasting impression be of minnows that flit between round river rocks and your toes through freshwater streams in Belize? Or the rush of adrenaline you’ll awaken in Costa Rica as you soar across a zipline, raft fast-moving currents, and hurtle into forest depths on a bungee? Perhaps the European charm of Nicaragua’s Granada—nearly as Moorish and Andalusian as its namesake in Spain—is what you will remember most vividly. With so many fresh destinations here, there is no telling.

Mountains, “Mounties,” maples, and hockey: these are perhaps some of the better-known traits of our neighbors to the north, but between its 125,570 miles of coastline, the second-largest country in the world is an adventurer’s playground.

Legendary mountains like those of Olympics host Whistler and the Canadian Rockies tease the most expert skiers to test their mettle. Icefields Parkway’s scenic drive lead to outdoor escapades in huge parks filled with wildlife and white waters to raft. The vast wilderness of Yukon provides more of the same, while on the French side of the country, a more refined European influence—from cobbled streets to fine dining and old-world architecture—reigns over the landscape.

Even so, there is yet more to this country than these broad snapshots. Let the warmth of its people chase away the chill and leave you with memories sweeter than the lingering flavors of their famous syrup.

Take wing and cross the Equator to turn your world upside-down and your winter into summer. It may sound like magic, but it will not be the journey to South America that will have you spellbound—it will be what you find there.

From the highlands and plateaus of the east to the Andes Mountains of the west and the plains where the Amazon River roars, some of the most beautiful natural sights on the planet are concentrated here. The highest volcanoes in the world tower above Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, while some of the world’s most rare and even yet-undiscovered flora and fauna thrive in the Incan wilds.
