When you think of the fall, you may think of golden forests, brisk nights, and pumpkin spice lattes. You may not think of sand and skyscrapers, but you should, as Dubai is an ideal fall getaway.

There are a lot of questions that arise when contemplating a trip to the Middle East. But what shouldn’t be in question is where you should go on your first trip to the region: Jordan.

At the tip of the Western Cape lies the Cape of Good Hope. It’s the most south-westerly point of the African continent, and a spot where thousands of tourists visit each year to pose in front of the breaking waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s also the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the wonders of the Western Cape.

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.

Nothing says ‘Welcome to Australia’ like your first glimpse of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Stretching over the water with its enormous steel arch, ‘the coathanger,’ looms above the white sails of Sydney Opera House. And on Sunday, March 5, 2023, its traffic will stop for three hours as 50,000 members of the LGBTQIA+ community don their brightest colours to participate in Australia’s biggest-ever Pride March. Rarely is Sydney Harbour Bridge ever closed for a public march, and this historic event will be its first-ever closure for an LGBTQIA+ event.

It's all part of Sydney WorldPride 2023!

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. 

The highlight of so many Australia vacation packages, Sydney, Australia, is a city dressed to impress. Built on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people, Australia’s biggest, most multicultural city wows visitors with its harbour, surf beaches, and instantly recognized Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It’s packed with attractions, experiences, and memories waiting to be made.

When you think of images that define Australia, it's time to move the majestic Twelve Apostles guarding the Great Ocean Road, the little penguins of Phillip Island, and the colourful laneways of Melbourne’s CBD up the list! The story of Victoria is one that shapes Australia, from its former capital, Melbourne, to the Eureka Stockade, to the myths created by bushrangers, to the chic galleries, theatres, restaurants, and sports-loving crowds that define Melbourne today. While there’s lots to see across Australia, there are plenty of reasons to focus your trip on Victoria.

Indonesia is big, beautiful, and a cultural marvel. It’s massive in terms of landmass and population, startlingly diverse when it comes to nature and culture, and home to some of the world’s greatest wonders. It has so much to offer travellers who are looking for an unforgettable vacation.

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.

It’s time to reconnect. Over the past few years, we’ve been isolated and missed out on the essential human connections that make life so meaningful. Now, finally, we can travel and go local in parts of the world where meaningful experiences are possible. And there are few better places to go local than South Korea.

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.

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.

The natural attractions of Kenya read like an Africa wish list. The annual Great Migration sweeps into the plains of the Masai Mara, where the savanna’s big cats lie patiently in wait. The giants of the Big Five, Africa’s elephants, congregate in dense herds in Amboseli’s marshes, watched over by the snowy peak of Kilimanjaro. Lake Nakuru offers a haven for Kenya’s rhinos alongside a wide range of birdlife, while Samburu invites visitors to keep their eyes peeled for ‘the Special Five,’ species not found anywhere else in Africa. Connecting it all is Kenya’s welcoming people, including the Masai, whose centuries-old traditions live on in the present day.

At the beginning of the year, we identified some of the top trends in travel for 2023. One of those trends was combining multiple destinations on a single itinerary. We weren’t kidding as even two and a half months into 2023, we’ve noticed that multi-country vacations are all the rage.

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.

Every new year brings with it some changes, no matter how small. In the world of travel, we’ve seen a number of trends develop that should dictate how people travel over the course of 2023.

The holidays are approaching and we’re feeling festive. We also know that travel planning for late this year and early next is in full swing. So to help you plan the perfect vacation for early 2023, we’ve put together a list of our top 12 trips to travel right now.
