Paris: the city of light, of love, of beautiful people and incredible food. There is so much to do and discover in Paris that you could spend a whole trip there and still desire a return visit.
Furthermore, beyond Paris there are a number of amazing parts of France that deserve a visit too. Places like the Loire Valley, Normandy, Versailles, and Alsace are unique ways to add onto your itinerary and enjoy beautiful France beyond Paris.
Macau is a unique treasure in Asia that you may have never heard of, but should definitely visit at least once in your life.
It's like a European piece of Asia, mixed with Portugal, a little bit of Las Vegas, and...egg tarts.
Oh, the egg tarts. So delicious. :)
I'm also pretty sure this is the only place in the world where you'll find signs written in both Chinese and Portuguese. It's pretty trippy at first glance, haha.
With ferries leaving about every half hour from Hong Kong, and the ferry ride only one hour each way, it's a quick & easy day trip.
Read on for my day trip guide to Macau & tips on the logistics of getting there from Hong Kong (hint: it's pretty simple!)
I wasn't planning to head to Singapore during my Asia/Pacific trip this year, but when one of the best flight deals from Bali to Krabi, Thailand flew through Singapore...with a long layover...I had to take advantage of the opportunity!
I was there for about another twelve hours or so, as I left at 11 am the next morning for my flight to Thailand.
With limited time on the mind, I squeezed in the couple of things I always try to do when I'm exploring a new city: find a high viewpoint and have a good meal!
If you love beaches, bright blue water, warm weather, and great food, then the Thailand islands are definitely a good pick for travel. It's a bonus that it's very inexpensive to travel around Thailand, which means that you can book a tropical island vacation for much, much less.
Read on to see exactly what my costs were for five days island-hopping. It may surprise you!
