When you think of Mississippi, you probably think it’s nothing but COUNTRY. Not Biloxi! Biloxi is located on the coast (very south) of Mississippi and is only an hour and a half from New Orleans. They’re big on seafood, celebrates Mardi Gras, has great southern & Cajun food, and has lots of culture compared to the rest of Mississippi. MS Gulf Coast is also known for the casinos and beautiful & clean man-made beaches.

Kefalonia is one of the few Greek Islands that still felt like a hidden gem. Even during peak summer travel time, the beaches weren't overcrowded and the restaurants had plenty of availability.
Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.
