There's so many amazing places to visit here.
I think you can consider the Maldives as part of Asia. You will fly into the main city, Male, and then hop on a boat that will take you to another island. No matter your budget, there is something for everyone. It just happens that the Ritz property ...
The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands
Bali is an international destination. You'll hear many different accents from all around the world. Known for the wonderful beaches, nightlife, and chilled atmosphere. It's a must visit!
Bali
Phukett offers both a quiet and relaxed atmosphere if you're seeking some quiet solace. But a quick 45 minute car ride and you'll find your self in the hustle and bustle of the night markets. It's a place I want to re-visit! 4 days wasn't long enough...
A first-time guide to Phuket - Lonely Planet
Those who know me will know KL is my favorite place in the world! I love the culture, food, the people - everything about this place feels like home. If you have the time, plan on 5+ days. There's so much to see and do. This list is just the condense...
25 Best Things to Do in Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
HK is a beautiful place to visit. It's expensive but there are affordable hotel options. The food scene, shopping, culture and nightlife is so amazing. I love the hiking up at Lantau.
Hong Kong
Aside from all the K-beauty spas, shopping, nightlife, the cultural experience and food are just some of the reasons to visit this amazing city. If it's your first time visiting, plan on a 5-7 day itinerary just for this city alone. There's so much t...
Seoul
I remember while in my undergrad days, I had a friend who told me all about his summer exchange program to Taipei (where his parents were from). He made it sound so magical and amazing. Only as an adult did I have a chance to visit. It really is such...

Langkawi is a hidden gem. If you ever get a chance to explore this island (just a short hour flight from KL), you will be treated by some of the best food, hospitality and the warmest people on the planet. You'll have plenty of beaches to explore. Th...

Ubud is a hidden gem just outside of all the touristy beach activities. Traffic makes this place a bear to get to but be patient and you will be rewarded. The locals are so incredibly friendly and kind. I suggest you get to know them and ask them for...
THE 15 BEST Things to Do in Ubud (2025) - Must-See Attractions
This is on my bucket list for 2025! I haven't been yet but I cannot wait to check it out. I have been watching so many Tik Tokkers share their journey. I don't know if I'm more excited about the food or touring the city. It looks amazing!!
Things To Do In Chongqing, China - The Tourist Checklist
This is also on my bucket list for 2025! I'd love to explore the entire country. I studied Japanese history during my undergrad days and I recall sitting in that classroom listening intently to my professor share all the fascinating facts about this ...

The Americas (Canada, USA, and Mexico)
There are some of my most memorable places I've visited.
Thiere is nothing more Canadiana than pulling up a Muskoka chair and a beer on a summer evening with the sun setting and the fire crackling. There are countless lakes that are perfect for summer canoeing or kayaking. The hiking trails are amazing. Bu...
Muskoka, Ontario, Canada
I love visiting upstate New York. This lake is a hidden gem. Surrounded by local farms and vineyards. If you're ever in this area, take a visit to the Cornell campus (it sits atop the hill and overlooks the lake). Their dairy bar (as they are an Ag s...
Lake Ithaca, New York State
I once took a road trip through the upper NE and ended up on Cape Breton Island. But before I did, I made a stop in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. This town left a lasting impact on myself. I cannot talk about the Maritimes without talking about this town....
Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada
I only spent 24 hours in this town but I recall it being a quaint town with some of the cutest cafes. It's on my list to visit again in 2025!
Bangor, Maine
Taking us now all the way to the far side of Canada, Ucelet is just south of Tofino (a surfer's paradise). I traveled here once by car (it's really the only way). The roads hugged the low mountains tightly. It was a scary drive but we were rewarded w...
Ucluelet, Vancouver Island, British Columbia
I enjoy every visit to Vancouver Island. It's such wonderful place to visit. Between the nearly year round golfing, the dining, the hiking, and the scenery! A visit to the Fairmont for afternoon tea is iconic! Or a visit to Haven Spa right on the wat... If you've never visited, allow a minimum of 3-5 days for Victoria.
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
People refer to Toronto as a concrete jungle. I don't disagree but there's such a vibe in this city. Every neighborhood has it's own vibe. The Beaches is a place where I spent a lot of my undergrad days. I love the bars and it goes without saying the...
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Hear me out - this may look like small town Ontario but way back in the day, on my way up to Ottawa, I would drive through Tweed, Ontario. I would always stop to grab a snack. Everyone here is so friendly. It feels like Canada. But the most important...
Tweed, Ontario
Again, you're probably wondering why I'm recommending all these small towns in Ontario to visit. Well…this list is for those that love to wander. Arkona is an hour ouside of London (another town that I will add to this list). It is home to some incre...
Arkona, Ontario, Canada
I don't know why but I'm obsessed with this four-season town. It's the base for Kicking Horse) for those that love to ski but it's a natural stopping for families driving out to the Shushap or Kelowna region. I always stop here for lunch. There's a h...
Golden, British Columbia
Anytime you mention Edmonton to Albertans, you'll almost always hear someone call it Deadmonton. I don't know why. It's a beautiful city. Especially if you like to hike along the river. But I will say the winters are harsh!
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
There's something about Northern Alberta that I just love. It's partly the beautiful scenery but it's also the Albertans. They're just so incredibly kind and friendly. I had a chance to drive through this region not that long ago. I've got it on my l...
Peace River, Alberta, Canada
This is quaint ski town that I grew up visiting during winter breaks. It's much busier these days but I love the vibe (and of course the skiing). It's such a cute town!
Tremblant, Quebec, Canada
The vibe in this city is perfect for those who love big city but enjoy being outdoors. It's generally more mild compared to the rest of Canada so I find it's a city where you can be outside all the time. You can enjoy all the hiking along the ocean (...
Vancouver, Canada
This city is a wonderful place to explore. It's a mix of modern and old. It has something for every budget. I have seen kids and families laughing and enjoying each other's company under large trees in urban parks. They weren't looking on their cell ...
Mexico City
The gateway to the Rockies! Banff is an iconic place to visit. Personally I prefer to see the Rockies in the winter months when they're snow capped. Plus I love to ski. But this town comes to life in the summer months with all the bars and patios. Vi...
Banff, Alberta, Canada
The Carribbean
The list will be short but this region is well worth a visit!
Landing in Nassau, Bahamas, you'll have a quick drive over to Paradise Island. It's home to Atlantis. I love to stay and play here. The food scene is pretty great (but it's resort food). Most families will stay for the water park and the beautiful pr...
Paradise Island, Bahamas
This city is full of culture. The art and food scene is some of the best in the region. I loved the sights and sounds. Get outside of the city and go for a country side tour.
Havana, Cuba
I've only visited this place once but it left a lasting impression. The island and the Bermudians were so inviting. I loved the culture and food scene. Just remember to bring a wind jacket. This island can get windy.
Hamilton, Bermuda
Europe
There's too many places to visit! Here are some of my favorites!
Vienna is home to many many palaces! And cafes! I just love this city. It's a cultural melting pot. Visiting the Christmas markets is a must! And if you're in city centre, I suggest a visit to the Mozart Cafe. Honestly, there's too many places I woul...
Vienna, Austria
I visited Newquay to surf. It's amazing!! I highly recommend if you're in England, take the drive (train if you want) out there. The waves from the Atlantic were massive! The town itself is so quaint and lovely. I can't say enough wonderful things ab...
Newquay, Cornwall
I will never get tired of this city. Every visit, there's something else I didn't see. I love that it's a melting pot of so many cultures. You can see that in the local food scene. And it goes without saying that the pub scene is fantastic. I enjoyed...
London, England
Paris is so iconic. I can't say enough wonderful things about this city. I love the culture, museums and cafes. I have such fond memories visiting the Louvre and sitting on the steps early evening with a baguette in one hand and a massive block of ch...
Paris
In terms of urban centre, Dusseldorf has such a fantastic vibe. The art scene in Dusseldorf often reminds me of SOHO. I love grabbing a coffee and walking along the Rhine during the summer months. Summer is the best time to visit with the bars and pa...
Düsseldorf, Germany
Middle East
I need to spend more time here! Perhaps in 2025!
This is easily one of my favorite places in the world (next to Kuala Lumpur of course). Ras Al Khaima is a short drive from Dubai. The region is dotted by resorts, beach, and desert. The city itself is beautiful, full of culture and history. I loved ...
Ras Al Khaimah, UAE
