I went there for an Erasmus program, not knowing it would capture my heart—and draw me back three more times.
I traveled to Bali as part of my solo journey around the world. While I was there, I met someone who is now my boyfriend, and we decided to continue the trip together. We spent five days exploring Uluwatu and Ubud, which made the experience even more special and memorable.
I chose Myanmar because I wanted to see a unique and authentic country. I am interested in places that are not very touristy, where I can see real local life and culture. Myanmar felt very different from other countries I’ve visited, and I wanted to experience that.
For years, my cousin tried to convince me to visit Crested Butte.
I wasn’t sold — until she mentioned, offhandedly, that even Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie had spent time there.
That little detail made me curious.
But what I discovered had nothing to do with celebrity mystique.
I found a small town as charming as it is vibrant. A kind of summer that feels undiscovered. A place that doesn’t need hype.
Most people know Crested Butte as the “Last Great Ski Town.”
What they don’t know is that it’s also the Wildflower Capital of Colorado.
My boyfriend at the time wanted to visit his dad in Florida, so we made a road trip out the adventure!
I traveled to Koh Lanta as part of a two-month trip around Thailand with my boyfriend. I spent four days exploring the island, and it quickly became one of my favorite places in the country.
To deepen our bond with Skye's Austrian routes, getting to live the lifestyle and be surrounded by family of which her Grandfather had left when he was 18 years old
I traveled here because I had a friend living in Seattle and wanted to see a concert at one of the most iconic venues in the United States.
I chose this trip because I wanted to go on a road trip and see scenic sights in the Southwest United States.
This trip was a dream come true. I always wanted to visit California and be able to see up close what I had so often seen in movies and TV shows, and I finally did.
In celebration of my 30th Birthday, we embarked on a 1 week Van Road Trip adventure of a lifetime! We reconnected with family, explored meaningful history, and enjoyed the taste of Southern cuisine throughout our trip.
We wanted to choose the quieter places. To step away from big cities and famous capitals, and instead follow a route shaped by small towns, winding roads, and landscapes that slow you down without asking.
This journey wasn’t about ticking boxes. It was about crossing borders gently, watching architecture change, hearing languages shift, and feeling how each place carries its own rhythm. Castles on hills, canals through old towns, lakes reflecting mountains—each stop felt like part of the same story.
We wanted a trip that felt romantic in its own way: calm but rich, simple but deeply beautiful. And this route gave us exactly that.
We chose this trip because, even though we’re Turkish, we had never explored Istanbul properly — not this deeply, not this widely, and definitely not at this speed. Istanbul is a city so big, so multicultural, and so full of history that it feels like its own country, and we wanted to finally experience it through the eyes of curious travelers rather than locals passing through.
It was also the perfect chance for a girls’ trip, full of long walks, nonstop exploring, hidden corners, museums, parks, seaside neighborhoods, and all the chaotic beauty that makes Istanbul unforgettable.
The 2025 Healthcare Professionals Cruise to Cozumel wasn’t just a “nice vacation”—it was a necessary reset. Our nurses, doctors, techs, therapists, and caregivers have been carrying heavy emotional, mental, and physical loads for years. This cruise gave them permission to step away from the alarms, the charting, the double shifts, and the “Can you just...?” texts, and step into rest, ocean air, and joy. Between turquoise water, unbothered naps, good food, and grown-folks laughter, they had space to breathe, reconnect with themselves, and remember they’re more than their badge.
Silverback gorilla trekking in Uganda has always been high on my bucket list. Although high, it was one that felt far, far away. That was until I looked into it and learned there are fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas left in the world. They are spread across three African countries: Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Gorilla trekking offers a glimpse into the world of this endangered species and a chance to contribute to their conservation. Tourism plays a crucial role in funding the protection of their habitat and the ongoing efforts to ensure their survival for generations to come.
Why Uganda? My research led me to decide between Rwanda and Uganda. Of the two, Rwanda is the more popular country for trekking. They have invested more in tourism infrastructure, making it relatively easy for travelers to access the park, obtain permits, and engage in gorilla trekking. As a result, it is also the most crowded place to trek.
The pros for Uganda were that it’s home to about half of the remaining mountain gorillas. This makes the rainforest we trekked a critical sanctuary for the survival of these majestic creatures. It draws fewer people and is a little less expensive. For these reasons, we chose Uganda. (During this trip, I traveled with my sister and her boyfriend. It is a perfect experience to make unforgettable memories with friends and family.)
Nestled in southwestern Uganda is the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. This rainforest’s name reflects its thick vegetation and challenging terrain, making it difficult for humans to access and explore. That’s where your expert guides come into play.
