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.

Australia is a dream vacation, impossible to fully cover in one trip, with new discoveries waiting each time you return. After two years of pandemic isolation, the land Downunder is carefully preparing to reopen its shores to visitors in 2022. The only question is where to begin!

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.

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. 

Expo 2020 Dubai started at the beginning of October and for the next six months, it’s going to be the most exciting spot on the planet. We want to make it easier than ever for you to visit Expo 2020 Dubai, so we’re offering free Dubai stopovers on vacation packages to popular spots across Africa and Asia.

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 Expo 2020 Dubai, which promises to be the event of a lifetime.

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?

This December marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It premiered in London on December 10, 2001 and hit theatres worldwide on December 19, 2021. To mark the occasion, we thought we’d showcase all the spots in New Zealand where you can see locations from this fantasy classic.

The winter holidays are upon us. Hanukkah came at the end of November, Christmas is just over a week away, Kwanza comes just after, Epiphany lies in the first week of 2022, and the entire world is ready to ring in the new year come December 31.

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.

As we’ve discussed before when introducing our new digital travel brochure, Your Next Journey: The Best of Goway Travel, we’ve spent much of the last two years innovating our product line and making it easier for travellers to go globetrotting with us. One of the key innovations was the introduction of our Idyllic Retreats collection.

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.

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.

If you’re anything like us, you’re probably spending what little free time you have this month (outside of holiday festivities) dreaming about the places you want to travel next year. If we can be optimistic for a moment (which always feels a little dangerous these days), next year looks to be a year where many of us get back out there and explore the world for the first time in over two years.

There are only a couple months left in 2021 and everyone is starting to plan their vacations for 2022. Borders are continuing to reopen and more destinations are gearing up to welcome travellers back once the calendar flips over to 2022.

We share the world because we love to travel. That’s a motto of ours at Goway. It’s an operating principle to help us keep who we are front and centre in our work. It also helps us remember that we do what we do in order to make unforgettable travel memories for Globetrotters.

Island nations have never looked better. Many people want to shake off the rust of the past 20 months and rediscover the pleasures of travel. There’s no better place to ease back into the travel experience—like relaxing into a warm pool of water—than The Islands of Tahiti, which have redefined their travel experience over the recent months.

With vaccination efforts well underway, many destinations are busily preparing for a long-awaited safe reopening. The South Pacific nation of Fiji has been no exception, developing strict protocols to keep guests and locals safe without compromising its famous Bula! welcome or the ‘Fiji time’ experience. No matter what kind of traveller you are, there’s a Fiji vacation perfectly suited to you.
