Tick off these top destinations that you have to visit in your lifetime.

Hello Ho Chi Minh

Welcome to Vietnam! Or should we say Chào mừng bạn đến Việt Nam! Ho Chi Minh City is fast, furious, and absolutely fascinating. This bustling city is a fusion of commerce and culture, where traditional Vietnamese temples meet skyscrapers and glossy shopping malls filled with designer goods. Take a boat cruise along the Mekong River or wander the immense Ben Thanh Market while sipping a Vietnamese iced coffee. Hop over the Cambodian border to Phnom Penh, where three rivers meet, for palaces, temples and museums, or travel up the Vietnamese coast to surround yourself in the striking beauty of Ha Long Bay.

Bonkers Bangkok

Having taken the overland train from Ho Chi Minh, you’ll find yourself in Bangkok. Thailand’s capital is a city of contrasts and welcomes more visitors than any other. This sprawling metropolis is home to beautiful temples and amazing street food, but may be best known for its incredible nightlife and evening entertainment with everything from rooftop cocktails to ladyboy shows. Leave the neon lights behind and backpack your way through Thailand, experiencing the epic Full Moon Parties of Koh Phangan, snorkelling the Gili Islands, and taking in the remarkable views of Phi Phi Island.

Sunny Sydney

Sydney is an iconic city famous for the Sydney Opera House and the amazing steel coat hanger of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The first city for many on an Australian adventure, it begs for your attention with the views of the Sydney Harbour to the nightlife of Kings Cross. A place where city meets seaside, just along the city’s coastline lies the famous Bondi Beach, perfect for topping up your tan as well as checking out the local pastime of surfing.

Limitless Los Angeles

The ultimate party playground, Los Angeles is where the beautiful people live. It’s got everything you could wish for, from Universal Studios to Venice Beach and Disney to the Kardashians. Visit the Chinese Theatre to find your favourite star’s scribble at the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, don your Ray Bans and floral headbands for Coachella and explore the super eclectic and trendy local neighbourhoods – palm trees included.

Your adventure ends back where it all started, in good ol’ London town having made some magical memories that will last a lifetime – and no doubt the urge to do it all again!
