If you only read the headlines, you’re missing a lot of the story. Parts of the Middle East have been home to unspeakable tragedy, but there are many countries in the region that are safe and often overlooked by travellers wanting to see the world. Don’t make the same mistake that others do.

Tunisia will certainly provide you with sun-drenched days on the beach but it will also allow you to satisfy your cultural desires with historical sites and desert experiences. It’s a wonderful combination to experience on a trip to Africa.

Dreaming of New Zealand? Start preparing now for when borders re-open in 2022. Enjoy the cultural immersion and history of the North Island before jumping-perhaps literally-headfirst into the adventures and dramatic landscapes of the South Island.

The past year has brought with it a lot of changes, welcome and unwelcome, but one undeniable positive is our renewed passion for travel. At Goway, we’re exercising this passion by expanding our product line to include trips to the West African nations of Ghana, Togo, and Benin.

Have you ever watched a nature documentary such as Planet Earth or Our Planet and sighed when you see the cheetahs racing across the horizon or the elephants bathing in the water hole? Maybe you thought, “There’s no way I’ll ever get to East Africa and if I do, there’s no chance I’ll have that gorgeous nature all to myself.”

Australia has so much diversity to explore and enjoy, and that includes its wildlife. No visit to Australia is complete until you see some of its incredible animals in the wild.

You have been on your feet most of the day checking out the highlights of your chosen destination. As the day goes on, it is time to not only slow down and relax but also to round off the day with a good meal. There are literally thousands of restaurants on the planet, so this is not an article with recommendations about where to eat, but more a guide to discuss the qualities of individual countries’ cuisines.

Any self-respecting "bubbly" drinker knows it’s not "Champagne" unless it comes from the Champagne region of north-eastern France. The area makes an easy enough addition to your Western Europe trip, but it requires some preparation, and in most cases, advance reservations. 

There’s an old poem by Robert Frost, “The Road Not Taken,” the final three lines of which speak to the importance of choice in travel and more generally in life.

There are almost as many reasons for women to embark on solo travel as there are for travel. It might be a homebody spouse, an impatience with ‘that one friend’ who just can’t commit, or simply a desire to set your own pace and explore on your own terms. In a world where travel options have never been so extensive, pathways for globetrotting women have never been so abundant.

As the world emerges from the global pandemic and globetrotters begin to once again set their sights on travel, self-drive vacations are going to be more popular than ever. Few vacation styles fit the current moment quite like a self-drive.

Back when they were first introduced, cars embodied the freedom of the open road. You could drive anywhere, see anything. Times have changed, but the open-ended promise of driving hasn’t, especially when you’re travelling. 

There are world events, like the Olympics or the various international soccer contests, that are special when they happen every four years. And then there’s the world event, the World Expo, which is a demonstration of technology and culture the likes of which you’ll never see again. Such is Dubai Expo 2020, which promises to be the event of a lifetime.

As chaotic as it is ancient and beautiful, Rome can overwhelm the unprepared visitor. The city of seven hills might be eternal, but travellers often find themselves longing for the gentler side of Italy after a hectic couple of days in the capital. A visit to Rome should be a treasured memory, not an endurance test. These four one-day itineraries are designed to help you get the most out of your time in Rome.

A vacation is a prime opportunity for adventure. Of course, adventure means different things to different travellers. Some travellers want to bungee jump off bridges or rappel down a mountainside, while others find a leisurely hike through a rocky valley adventure enough.

For adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers alike, the world is a playground with countless attractions and natural wonders just waiting to be discovered. When simply exploring the outdoors isn’t enough to satisfy your need for adventure, why not try something a little more daring, something that is sure to get your blood pumping?

Thoughts of Australia conjure up many images ranging from iconic highlights such as views of the Sydney Opera House overlooking Sydney Harbour, sunrise over Uluru/Ayers Rock, Australia’s unique wildlife like kangaroos and koalas, and the coral gardens of the Great Barrier Reef.

Sometimes you travel to meet people. Sure, it can be fellow travellers, either those on your same tour group or people you meet at a hostel or a bar, but the personal encounters with locals are the ones we really remember.

Imagine this: it’s the middle of January and the snow is piling up outside your living room window. You know you’re going to have to gear up and head outside to shovel the driveway at some point, but the wind looks particularly chilly. Now, would you rather do the inevitable and shovel the driveway or lie back on the warm sands of a sunny beach without a care in the world?

Nothing beats a vacation while escaping from our winter for a period of time. Many places in the world offer us not only warmer weather but also an opportunity to enjoy a foreign destination.

Thailand is a lot of things: beautiful, friendly, surprisingly diverse, and eminently affordable. It’s one of the best countries for affordable luxury and a great place to stretch your wallet.

With travel starting to heat up again and people planning their post-pandemic vacation for later this year and into 2022, we thought it was a good time to highlight the destinations that offer luxury for the best price.

Over the past couple decades, Dubai has transformed into one of the world’s great travel hubs. The city combines a futuristic skyline and luxury pleasures with great shopping, fascinating history, and easy access to beaches and sand dunes. It’s also a great place for a family vacation.

As our kids near that age where it’s time to start planning that first big family vacation, we start thinking about where to go. What’s a perfect destination for making those treasured family memories? Sure, Disneyworld bounces to mind, but what if you’re seeking a family trip that’s a little more unusual, and educational? Thailand checks off all the boxes! 

We could all use some physical relaxation and rejuvenation on a future vacation. Whether that means a yoga retreat on an island in Thailand, an escape to a cloud forest in Costa Rica, or a pampering stay at a health resort in the Maldives, that’s up to you. But if all the time spent sitting at desks and on couches these past few months are any indication, our bodies are going to be craving a wellness escape.

No country is more attractive to wellness seekers than Thailand. Beachside resorts, detox treatments, meditation programs with Buddhist monks, plenty of opportunities to stay active on land and by sea—Thailand has got it all. Want us to get more specific? Can do. Based on the personal experience and expertise of our many destination specialists, we’ve put together the 10 best wellness activities to do in Thailand.

Sometimes the best vacations are the ones that go beyond individual borders and combine several countries on one incredible journey. Whether taking in neighbouring countries or pairing city stopovers with island stays, these vacations are the best way to get bang for your buck when exploring the world.

At Goway, we want to get you ready for a triumphant return to travel. Part of that is giving you all the info about which destinations are trending and why you should book ahead. Another part is explaining the details behind how Goway labels vacations.

Travel is coming back! That’s right. After all the disruptions and chaos of the past 14 months, people are starting book vacations again. 2022 even looks like it may be a career year for travel.

This past year has made us reconsider a lot of things. We’ve come to have a whole new appreciation for the health and safety of those we love. We’ve come to hold family and friends even dearer, cherishing those meals and moments spent together.

Looking to the future and planning ahead for your next vacation can provide some major stress relief. A beach and island escape will take you far away from Netflix binging and offer the perfect way to maintain your personal space while still getting a much-needed change of scenery.
